holiday with our uncle and aunt in their house by the sea. It was only twenty yards from the water. The water was warm, the sun shone brightly, and most days there were no waves. In the middle of the day a wind always began to blow, but it was not strong and did not make the sea rough.
One day, we put on our swimming‐shorts before breakfast. Then, we ran down to the sea across the sand and jumped in. We were in the sea or on the beach until late at night. When our aunt rang a bell, we went back to the house for food, but we ate it in our swimming‐shorts and soon went back in the sea again. We were all very good swimmers. We dived through the waves or rode towards the beach on top of them until we were tired and hungry.

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking whether some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.
Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York, there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people, so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to be built.
There are a lot of people that can take public transit with little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes, then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. A number of universities already bundle a ‘U‐Pass’ with their tuition fees, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the chance the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.
A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be forcing people to use public transit. This is already being done with the assignment of one community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.
So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

A. American should give up their cars.
B. The government should limit the number cars. C. Americans should learn to use public transportations. D. Americans should be forced to use public transportations.
E. The government should charge extra taxes for those who use cars.
30. The following is one of the writer’s suggestions in forcing people to use public transportations … A. Make people buy transit passes as part of their property taxes.
B. Fine people who do not use public transportations. C. Stop automobiles productions.
D. Limit the number of gasoline. E. Banning the use of cars.
31. What is the purpose of the article?
A. Asking for more public transportations.
B. Defining the functions of public transportations.
C. Suggesting American the ways to use public transportation. D. Arguing that American should not use public transportations.
32. In the article you find the word “transit” a few times. What does it mean?

Questions 36 to 38 refer to the following text.
Should Students Take Part‐time Jobs?
One of the biggest things a student must figure out upon entering school is what to do with all that time. Free to schedule as they please and free from the obligations of life at home, students find themselves with a wealth of time they may or may not have. There are things which you might consider working. First of all, if you want to be cool and go out with your classmates and buy some cool stuff, well you need money! By getting a job, you get money. Of course, you have to work for it, but still, it can ‐ and probably will be useful. There is not only money to consider though. Experience is an important asset for after finishing your school. When you work during your school year and add it to your resume, it will show your future employers that you are able to manage to pursue two activities at the same time, or more if you are involved elsewhere. Another interesting thing to consider is the contacts you might make by working. By contacts, I mean people that can be useful to you later in life. If you have different jobs, you make new references you can later add to your CV along with the experience. Also, if you are lucky enough to get a job in your area of studies, it may later become a permanent job.
The main disadvantage on your life is that you will have less time for schoolwork ‐ and social life of course. This also means you get less free time to just hang out or party or do other stuff than work and study. This is an important part of your life if you do not want to go all crazy! It is also important if you want to be cool. Having a job can also add another source of stress to your life. Depending on the type of job you are looking for, you may get a boss that always wants more hours and presses you to be more available. One of the things you can do is to set yourself a maximum number of hours you want to work per week and make this clear with your employer at the beginning of the year.
My biggest recommendation is not to rush into anything. It’s perfectly acceptable to spend the first few weeks of school adjusting and having fun, and then slide a job into the mix when you’ve grown comfortable with everything else. Finally, never allow an outside job to get in the way of your health and school years in general. While work may keep you motivated and get you needed money, it’s not worth losing your education or well‐being over. Obtain what you need, but if you feel yourself slipping take some time off, or find a better place to work. You’ll have plenty of time to work post school.
