Reading Oliver James' new book Affluenza, (18) ________. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears. "I've got a test tomorrow. I don't understand any of it," she screams. After shouting and slamming her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says "OK. I got a nine." "Wow, that's brilliant! Well done!" I say, before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!" According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, (19) ________. To test this idea, I asked my daughter why she was so concerned about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. "Well, if I don't get good grades, I won't get into university. Then I probably won't get a good job and if I don't have a good job, I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff." I was quite shocked, because I do not consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests showing any interest in grades sends the message that what is important is results and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills (20) ________. (21) ________. I cannot remember the last time I had to calculate the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversation, or how to avoid getting into debt, or how to control my own children! Such ideas are not really what Oliver James has in mind, though. He seems to be looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongion. Tongion has been developed in some Korean private schools as an alternative to the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world. The irony of this is that Tongion is now seen by some as answering economic needs. (22) ________. (Adapted from Outcomes) Question 18.

It isn't easy to stop truancy. Sometimes schools are so big that it is difficult to know who is playing truant. Advanced technology is helping a lot. Many schools are changing their systems for recording who is present and who is absent. In the past teachers always wrote it down, but now it's becoming more common to use computers. In a group of private schools in Tokyo, students put out their hands for examination every morning. A special computer looks at each student's fingers to check their fingerprints. Prison officers use the same technique with criminals in prison. It means that teachers know exactly who is in class and who isn't. Schools also employ technology to tell parents. A school in Scotland uses a system from the US called Phonemaster. It automatically telephones parents when a student is 30 minutes late for school. The phone doesn't stop ringing until someone answers it. In other countries, like Australia, the school automatically sends a text message to parents when their child is not at school. In some countries, truancy is the parents' responsibility. In the UK, parents pay a fine when their children are often absent from school for no good reason. In the US, Miami police arrested one parent, Mindy Pearl Viera, because her teenage daughters didn't go to school more than 100 times that year. The police in the Malaysian town of Seremban have a more 'educational' approach. When they find a student who is in the street and not at school, they take them to the police station where there is now a special 'reading room'. The students read books while they are waiting for their parents to come and take them home. Students who don't finish the book take it home and then write a summary of it. (Adapted from Gateway) Question 23. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1? Many schools are changing their systems for recording who is present and who is absent. A. Numerous educational institutions have modified their methods for documenting student attendance status. B. Several learning establishments are in the process of revising how they keep track of which students are punctual and which are not.
