1) Some decades ago there was hardly such a subject as the economics of education. Today it is one of the most rapidly growing branches of economics. Together with health
economics, it makes up the core of the economics of human resources, a field of inquiry which in the last few years has been silently revolutionizing such traditional subjects
as growth economics, labor economics, international trade, and public finance. Consequently, the economics of education with its concept of human investment has rapidly
transformed large areas of orthodox economics.

2) My Day
Hi, my name is Joshua. I am a financial adviser. Yesterday I had a very busy day. I woke up at half past six. Waking up was so hard that I needed to wash my face with cold water to open my eyes. Then I went to the kitchen and had a cup of coffee and toast for breakfast. I brushed my teeth, took the trash out, ironed my clothes and finally I got dressed and left home around seven o'clock. I got on the bus at half past seven to downtown. I arrived at work at ten to eight. I needed to finish up six reports before noon. At twelve o'clock I had half an hour lunch with my colleagues. After lunch we had a meeting until two o'clock. Then I visited one of my clients at three o'clock to talk about his financial plans.

3) National Health Service
The National Health Service of the country was set up in 1948 shortly after the end of the Second World War. Its aim is to provide free medical treatment for all patients who wish to take advantage of the service. However, it is still possible to obtain private medical treatment and in this case the doctor charges a fee. To say that the National Health Service is free is not entirely true. Every employed or self-employed person over sixteen years of age must put a stamp on an insurance card every week. This card is issued by a government department called the Department of Health and Social Security. The stamp costs money and the amount is constantly changing. Part of the cost of this stamp, in fact the greater part, is borne by the employer and it finances the National Health Service together with many other social security benefits.

A) aims to provide free and private medical treatment without paying any money

A) only the Department of Health aims to provide free medical treatment
B) self-employed people's expenses are paid by the National Health Service
C) people over sixteen can obtain benefit from the National Health Service on condition that they stick the stamp on insurance card
D) free medical treatment is valid for the families of people of over sixteen years old as well
E) people should pay extra money if they want to obtain advantages other than medical treatment
3. One can infer from the passage that _____.
A) social security benefits need to be paid fees
B) the stamp is financed greatly by the person as well as the employer

4) Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened. It was well designed and carefully maintained. It carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank in a cold, stormy night. It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves: Of those who managed to scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted to 912 souls. However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly.
1. One can understand from the reading that _____.
A) the lifesaving equipment did not work well and lifeboats could not be lowered
B) design faults and incompetent crew contributed to the sinking of the Estonia ferry
C) 139 people managed to leave the vessel but died in freezing water
