Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power. However, not only are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it's important to improve, explore and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities located far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution-free source of renewable energy but it cannot be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power is renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add the earth's heat load. However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar power also requires expensive equipment. 
What is the advantage of these alternatives?
A.They are environmentally friendly energy sources. 
B.They are non-renewable forms of energy.
C.They are all very practical.
D.They are inexpensive to exploit.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer by marking the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet.
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of  primary and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American education system and the American school system host more international students than any other country in the world!
What is the writer's advice?
A.International students should not invest their future education in the US. 
B.International students should not study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school.
C.Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student can make the right academic choices
