What does the text mainly discuss?

C) how American students would benefit from school on Saturdays

A) why German students no longer go to school on Saturdays

B) why all students should participate in extracurricular activities

D) how Japanese students participate in non-academic activities

What does the author suggest in paragraph 2? American students spend a lot less time in school than students in Europe and Asia. In Germany, students went to Saturday schools until the 1990s. Most German children now go to school only 5 days a week, but they spend their time in school focused only on academics. All other activities are done outside of the school day. The same is true in Japan. All of their extracurricular activities are done after school, and most students are no leaving school until 5:00 p.m. It should not be surprising that students in Germany and Japan score better in math and language arts than American students do.

A) spending more time at school will lead to better test scores

B) Japanese schools are much better than schools in Germany

C) extracurricular activities are an important part of the school day

D) American students are more physically fit than students in other countries

What is the purpose of paragraph 4? Finally, students could do their Saturday schooling online. The cost would be lower because the school building would not have to be opened. Also, it would be more flexible for students because they could do their work when they want to, and not when the teacher tells them to.

B) to describe a way to make Saturday schooling more practical

A) to list several ways that the school can save money

C) to explain why online schooling is so popular

D) to suggest that all schooling should be done online

Why does the author mention a master’s degree and a PhD?

C) to explain that astronauts need to study for a long time

A) to show that astronauts need to be in good physical shape

B) to describe where astronauts usually go to school

D) to give examples of subjects that astronauts have to study

Why does it take a long time for new astronauts to go into space?

A) They have to learn many things first.

B) They have to wait for other astronauts to come back from space.

C) They have to get special equipment made.

A) It lists different jobs available at NASA.

B) It describes daily life in space.

D) It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of being an astronaut.
