Education is highly valued in Japan. The Japanese education system is known for its high standards and unique features. Let's explore some key aspects of schooling in Japan. Japanese children start their education at around age six. They attend elementary school for six years, followed by three years of junior high school. After that, most students go to high school for another three years. One interesting feature of Japanese schools is the focus on moral education. Students learn about values like respect, responsibility, and teamwork. They also learn how to be good citizens. Japanese schools have a different schedule from many other countries. The school year starts in April and ends in March. Students attend classes from Monday to Friday, and sometimes on Saturday mornings too. Cleaning is an important part of school life in Japan. Students clean their own classrooms, hallways, and even toilets. This teaches them to take care of their environment and work together. Club activities are very popular in Japanese schools. After regular classes, many students join clubs for sports, music, or other hobbies. These clubs help students make friends and learn new skills.

The pursuit of knowledge and growth doesn't have to stop after formal education ends. Many remarkable individuals have embraced the concept of lifelong learning throughout their lives and careers. Here are some inspiring examples: Julia Child is famous for introducing French cuisine to American homes through her TV shows and books. However, she didn't attend culinary school or discover her passion for cooking until her late 30s. After joining her husband's diplomatic career, Child enrolled in the famous Cordon Bleu cooking school and later authored the iconic book Mastering the Art of French Cooking at age 49. Her lifelong learning enabled an entirely new vocation. Benjamin Franklin is renowned as one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Yet his curiosity and quest for knowledge spanned far beyond politics and invention. Franklin was a prolific writer who taught himself several languages including French, Italian, Spanish and Latin. He conducted experiments and studies in fields like electricity, mathematics, meteorology and shipbuilding. His open mindset and commitment to lifelong learning fueled his incredible versatility. Grandma Moses didn't begin her painting career until her late 70s. Previously, she spent her life laboring on farms and raising her family. After developing arthritis, she took up painting scenes of rural life and American folk art. Her unique and vibrant depictions of the countryside made her an acclaimed artist in her 80s and 90s. Grandma Moses exemplified that you're never too old to discover a new talent. Mary Golda Ross was a trailblazing Native American mathematician and engineer. Despite facing discrimination, she became the first female engineer at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in the 1940s. Ross helped design components for the earliest American interplanetary spacecraft that explored Venus and Mars. She was also an advocate of education who earned a master's degree by taking night classes over nine years while raising her family. These diverse individuals demonstrate that lifelong learning enables personal reinvention and growth at any stage of life. Their examples inspire us to stay curious and keep acquiring knowledge throughout our lifetimes. Question 34: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A.
