Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Many years ago, people often said “A woman's place is in the home”. But Americans do not feel that way anymore. Today, women make up about 43 percent of the America labor force. There are about 45 million working women in the United States, and a large number of them are married women with children. In 1980, for the first time in the nation's history there were more working wives than household wives. Looking back to 1940, we can see picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only 15 percent of married women held jobs.

Today, most young women choose to work even when they have young children. Why do they work? The most important reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that women today are better educated and they have more opportunities to work in various professions than women had earlier.

      Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the word, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon, they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers. 

      One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help. 

      “I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. "You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays, my mother could not believe how much less I argued with my sister." 

      To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to work.
