The system of USA education starts with twelve years of primary and secondary school 
education which the Americans have to follow. A secondary school ("high school") diploma or 
certificate is a compulsory requirement for the student to be able to enter college, university, 
vocational, secretarial or other professional and technical schools. American children who are 
around six years of age normally begin their learning at a primary school. It takes from five to six 
years to complete the primary schooling. After finishing the primary schooling, students will have 
to enter a secondary school where they may spend 6 or 7 year durations consisting of either two 
three- year programs, or a three-year and a four-year program. Schools at this level·are known 
as Middle School or Junior High School and High or Senior High School. Completion of this 
stage is called Twelfth Grade. International students are advised to find out which .level of 
education in their country corresponding to the twelfth grade in the US.A. 
After completing the twelfth grade, students are admitted to college or university for higher 
education. Study at a college or university leading to the Bachelor's Degree is known as 
"undergraduate" education. Study beyond the Bachelor's Degree is known as "graduate" school, 
or "postgraduate" education. Advanced or graduate degrees include law, medicine, M.B.A. 
(Master), and Ph.D. (doctorate) etc. 
The USA has the highest number of educational institutions providing higher education than 
any other country. There are more than 3800 colleges and universities imparting degree 
programs. The size of US higher educational institutions varies greatly, too, from colleges that 
enroll fewer than 1,000 students to large universities that enroll more than 50,000 students.

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 from 43 to 50. 
Sometimes people add to what they say even they don’t talk. Gestures are the “silent 
language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we 
want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be 
misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal 
introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or 
unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually 
women, greet a friend with a hug. 
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand 
about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. 
Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have 
their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me”, or “Excuse 
me”. Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don’t do 
so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at 
someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good or well done. 
Thumb-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To 
show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of 
paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans 
shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they 
admire them. Learning a culture’s boby language is sometimes confusing. If you don’t know 
what to do, the safest thing to do is smile.
