A mouse who always lived on the land, by an unlucky chance, formed an intimate acquaintance with a frog, who lived, for the most part, in the water.
One day, the frog was intent on mischief. He tied the foot of the mouse tightly to his own. Thus joined together, the frog led his friend the mouse to the meadow where they usually searched for food. After this, he gradually led him towards the pond in which he lived, until reaching the banks of the water; he suddenly jumped in, dragging the mouse with him.
The frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swam croaking about, as if he had done a good deed. The unhappy mouse was soon sputtered and drowned in the water and his poor dead body floating about on the surface.
A hawk observed the floating mouse from the sky, and dove down and grabbed it with his talons, carrying it back to his nest. The frog, being still fastened to the leg of the mouse, was also carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the hawk.

Questions 30 to 32 refer to the following text.
Home schooling is an education system which provides child’s main education programme at home. Home schooling takes the place of full-time school attendance and, in the United States and Canada, it usually meets state requirement for compulsory education. Although home schooling could achieve the objectives of compulsory education, there are some points that should be noticed from the home schooling.
First, the idea of taking our children’s education on home schooling can be a bit intimidating. Since our contry is so large and the people are from so may different kinds of backgrounds, students need some kind of social glue to make them stick together and to give them a sence of unity in spite of all the differences. They will not get such a unity when they are in home schooling. They will get the sence of unity when they are in the compulsory public schools since it is the easiest and best place to make this glue.
Then, the home schooling may not be able to prepare children to fit into the mass society, which means, among other things, believing what most people believe and liking what most
people like. Or it may not be able to help children to find a set of values with which they could resist and reject at least many of the values of the mass society.
Recognizing the lack of home schooling in the case of the children’s socialization opportunity, we should afford them abundant social opportunities. We can have active home school support groups. We can hold ongoing park days, meetings at the zoo, the science museum, book clubs, history clubs, language clubs, home school scouting troops and many more options to provide them opportunities to socialize with other.
30. What does the text tell us?
a. Some complaints on home schooling b. Ban on home schooling
c. Children’s complaint on home schooling d. Some criticisms and suggestions on home
schooling
e. The goverment’s concern in home schooling
31. What should be prepared for children to fit into the society according to the text? a. Creativity
b. Financial support c. The sence of unity d. Independence e. High quality school
32. Considering the weakness of home
schooling, what should be done according to the text?
a. Parents should give them many social opportunities.
b. Parents should be able to tell them to study harder.
c. Home schools teachers should be able to teach social sciences.
d. The goverment must ban home schooling.
e. Parents should not have their children home schooled.
