The empire was ruled by the Sapa Inca, Lord of the World, Son of the Sun. He owned everything in the empire - the land, soil, gold and even the people. The people, therefore, had no freedom.

Despite this difficult way of live, the Incas were very skillful. They constructed drainage system and underground water reservoirs. Their buildings were made from huge stones. These were cut to flit perfectly together so that no mortar was needed. Their rope bridges were so strong that even a horse could gallop across them!

The following text is for questions 24 to 27.
Higher Education for Women

In this modern era, there are still some parents who are reluctant about sending their daughters to college. The narrow attitude shown to women's education is largely due to the traditional role of women in society. A woman is expected to be a wife and a mother. Most parents believe that if their daughter gets married and chooses to be a housewife, then the higher education will be waste. However, an educated woman is not only a better wife but also contributes something to the society.

Nowadays, more and more women are successfully combining their career and marriage. Educated women are richer both emotionally and financially. They are able to find an outlet for their monotonous drudgery of their housekeeping. They bring more satisfaction and contentment to their lives.

Depriving girls of higher education is crash discrimination. Times have changed; modern society needs the talents of its people regardless of gender. Today, women work alongside men. In fact, in the last few decades, women have made outstanding contributions to society.

Women should be given the freedom to be educated whether or not they get married or go to work after finishing their education, because it is only through education that a woman will find herself useful and discover that she wants in life. A woman who works is not an insult to her husband. Conversely, her husband should feel proud of her achievements since. marriage is actually an equal partnership.

Therefore, parents should not think that girls should receive less education just because they will get married one day.

     A. They think education will be a waste
     B. More women are successful in their career
     C. It is a waste for women to go to college
     D. Traditional roles of women in society do not need high education
     E. They have to contribute something to the society

25. What is the main purpose of the text ....
     A. To put forward a point of view or argument about higher education for women
     B. To tell the parents in this modern era about how to educate their daughters
     C. To persuade readers what should and should not do about education
     D. To explain to readers about how to give education for their daughters
     E. To describe the fact about how some parents educate their daughters

26. Modern society needs ....
     A. Educated career women
     B. Married women
     C. Educated women
     D. Good housewives and mothers
     E. Talented people regardless gender

The following text is for questions 28 to 32.
There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.

Some people claim that children to enough work in school already. They also argue that children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A further point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn't help the child learn at all.

However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on their own without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think about what they have learned in school.

Furthermore they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that needs doing and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that don't need teacher's support.
