II. Reading Comprehension (10%)
     " Andragogy" is the term widely used in adult learning theory in order to be differentiated from the well - known "pedagogy." Andragogy is the art and science of helping adults learn while pedagogy is the art and science of teaching children. The term "Andragogy" was first created by the German teacher Alexander Kapp in 1833; to describe the educational theory of Plato. Although, Anderson first introduced the term to American adult learners. It was Knowles who reintroduced and popularized andragogy in the United States.
     
     Knowles identified the following key concepts of adult learning theory: (1) Adults have a psychological need to be self - directing, and they enjoy carrying out their own learning exercises. (2) Adult readiness - to - learn and teachable moment peak at those points where a learning opportunity is coordinated with a recognition of the need - to - know. (3) Adults need the opportunity to apply and try out learning quickly. (4) To reject adult experience is to reject the adult, for they have accumulated a growing reservoir of experience that becomes an increasing resource for learning.
  31. Adult learning characteristics identified by Knowles mainly are___________.
    (A) need - to - know and need - to - learn
    (B) subject - centered and problem - centered
    (C) self - concept and time perspective
    (D) selfless and learning to prepare for the future use only
  32. Which statement is not true?
    (A) To reject adult experience is to reject the adult.
    (B) Adults want to try out learning quickly.
    (C) Adults enjoy carrying out their own learning exercises.
    (D) Adults are submissive; they don't want to be self - directing.
     " Choosing a major is a scary thing for a lot of students, but it shouldn't be," said Pam Houston, director of the Undergraduate Center of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
     " I really think the first question for students to ask is if they are interested in the field. If the answer is no, they shouldn't major in it. In fact, for college freshman, the first thing to keep in mind is not to worry, because a major eventually will come to them. Prerequisites during the first and second year at most of the universities usually include English, Math, Speech, Western Civilization, Humanities, Natural Science and Applied Science. There also is a variety of electives. Once students have decided the general field they're interested in, they should talk to an advisor in the particular department in order to get specific details," said Houston.
 
     Houston disagreed with the notion held by many adults that a major must be closely related to their future career, or at least be realistic in terms of job opportunities after graduation. Students just have to allow themselves more time in determining the major, because the decision they made should be based on what they know about themselves and their own life planning for the future.
     
  Instead of doing such a careful investigation, nowadays a lot of students invest huge amount of time on their personal hobbies. They need to set priority with the right attitude.
  33. The most appropriate topic of this article is__________________________.
    (A) Freshman should keep in mind not to worry
    (B) Administrator helps students with major decision
    (C) Choosing a major closely tied to a career choice
    (D) Make up your mind after you choose a major
  34. The article implies that ___________________________.
    (A) Choosing a major ought to be scary.
    (B) Students don't have elective courses
    (C) Freshman should follow the advice from their elders in choosing a major
    (D) Students should major in the field that they're deeply interested in
  35. Which statement is not true?
    (A) Choosing a major is a tough decision to make.
    (B) An advisor can help students choose their major in details.
    (C) Many students need to spend more time choosing their major.
    (D) Prerequisites are offered for freshman only.
