1) One never finishes learning about art. There are always new things to discover. Great works of art seem to look different each time one stands before them. They seem to
be as inexhaustible and unpredictable as real human beings. It is an exciting world of its own with its own strange laws and its own adventures. Nobody should think he
knows all about it, for nobody does. Nothing, perhaps, is more important than just this: that to enjoy these works we must have a fresh mind, one which is ready to catch
every hint and to respond to every hidden harmony: a mind, most of all that has not been dulled by the terminology and ready-made phrases of art appreciation. it is infinitely
better not to know anything about art than to have the kind of half-knowledge which makes for snobbishness. The danger is very real.

3) Usually educational processes involve not only learning, but teaching as well. There is, however, no logical connection in this case. Education can go on without any teaching.
We can say it was a 'real education' for someone to take a boat out on his own, implying that he learnt something desirable without anybody having been there to teach him
the lesson. There are many forms of learning that go on without teaching and 'educative' learning does not mean that the learning must take place in a teaching situation. It
may be argued that most things are learnt more rapidly and more reliably in a classroom situation. But even so, learning is not dependent upon teaching.
1. As is stated in the passage, it is generally assumed that _____ .
A) schools are not important at all in the learning process
B) teachers do not further the learning process
C) education means both learning and teaching
D) people learn most effectively by themselves
E) a good education makes teaching a priority
2. The writer himself is fully convinced that true education _____ .
A) is what everybody desires to have
B) can only be provided in a classroom
C) results from the acquisition of all kinds of knowledge
D) is an ideal which cannot be achieved in life
E) can be acquired without the help of a teacher
3. The writer seems to admit that a teacher may often make the process of learning _____ .
A) more interesting
B) quicker and more dependable
C) safer and more regular
D) a purely formal affair
E) too 'educative' to be effective |

4) Agriculture remains the most crucial area for development, here it seems that the most intractable problems of resistance to change exist. One may argue that scientific
training in agriculture by itself is unlikely to have any marked impact on agricultural output. Any attempt at vocational training in agriculture presupposes that a meaningful
structure of incentive exists for the individual farmer to increase his output, improve his techniques, and expand his range of activities. Without such incentives and
opportunities, agricultural education can have little impact.
1. The author is of the opinion that improvements in the field of agriculture _____ .
A) cannot be achieved through vocational training
B) can easily be realized
C) have already led to good results
D) are absolutely vital for productivity
E) have largely been confined to technology
2. We can understand from the passage that the agriculture community _____ .
A) tends to disregard the problems of the individual farmer
B) is eager for more vocational training
C) is fully aware of the long-term benefits of scientific training
D) has already begun to benefit from the improved techniques
E) is not the one that welcomes change
3. The author concludes that vocational training in agriculture _____ .
A) will be an effective way of eliminating resistance to change in society
