EDUCATION

Elementary education is the earliest programme of education for children, beginning generally at the age of five or six and lasting from six to eight years. In most coun­tries elementary education is (1) optional/compulsory for all children. In much of the United States a year of kindergarten often (2) precedes/proceeds the first grade of the 8-year elementary course. In the larger (3) communes/communities special classes or schools are usually provided for children who are physically or mentally hand­icapped. The purpose of the elementary school is to (4) in­troduce/induce children to the skills, information, and attitudes necessary for proper adjustment to their com­munity and to society. (5) On the main/Basically, the subjects taught are reading, writing, spelling, mathemat­ics, social studies, science, art, music, physical educa­tion, and handicrafts. These are often supplemented with other subjects, (6) suchlike/such as foreign' languages. Over the years new subject matter has made the elemen­tary school curriculum more (7) advanced/conventional: than heretofore.

Secondary education begins generally at the age of 12 to 14 and continues from four to six years. Some types of secondary education, such as vocational school­ing, are terminal and (8) prepare/get ready the student for employment upon graduation. Others (9) conduct/ lead to advanced training in colleges, universities, or technical schools. In the U. S. secondary education in­cludes the junior and senior (10) higher/high schools. In many foreign countries, this level of education often embraces the junior or community college (11) togeth­er/as well as the first two years of university training. The purpose of secondary education is to (12) extend/ expand knowledge of subjects already studied, including the systematic study of literature, foreign languages, sciences, mathematics, social studies, and other sub­jects essential for physical and intellectual (13) knowledge/development and to prepare students (14) as/for future citizens.

ADMISSIONS AND ENROLLMENT

The word in bold type in the text is the synonym to the words in A, B, C below. Find an odd word in A, B, C

Most U. S. law schools require (1) applicants to have a bachelor's degree as a (2) condition for admission. (3) In addition, almost all require applicants to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). There is no (4) re­quired pre-law course of study. While many pre-law stu­dents (5) major in political science or economics during their undergraduate college years, others study such sub­jects as philosophy, math, engineering, or business.

(6) Admission to most law schools is competitive. The most selective schools offer fewer than one out of four ap­plicants a place in the entering class. Typically, a com­mittee of faculty members and administrators makes the ad­missions decision by (7) reviewing the file of each appli­cant. In making its decision, the admissions committee considers such factors as the (8) grades earned by the appli­cant in college, the (9) reputation of that college, the ap­plicant's score on the LSAT, letters of recommendation, and essays or personal statements by the applicant. Very few law schools interview candidates for admission.

There are (10) approximately 120,000 law students enrolled in the United States and about 40,000 graduate each year. The number of applications nationwide rose (11) steadily during the 1980s and early 1990s, but began to decline in the mid-1990s. Despite fluctuation in the number of applicants, there are still fewer (12) available places in law schools than there are people interested in attending law school. Tuition costs for legal education are (13) substantial, especially at law schools affiliated with private universities. Many such schools (14) charge more than $20,000 per year, not including books, housing, or food costs. Law school (15) tuition rates usually rise at or slightly ahead of the general rate of inflation.
