The following text is for questions 16 and 17.

Many people say that examinations should be abolished because they are not
the best measure of student’s capabilities. These people believe that students
can study on their own and do better without the nagging worry and pressure
exerted by examinations.

Yet, there are persuasive reasons to show that examinations should not be
abolished. It is insufficient that teachers assign homework and correct it.
Because this is not done under supervision, they cannot be sure that it is
really the work of the students themselves. Moreover, homework is not a test
of student’s ability. Homework is a method of merely keeping him occupied.

Nowadays, in the hunt for jobs, students need to produce some evidence of
their capabilities. Prospective employers like to see copies of examination
results. This is the only way a student’s qualifications can be judged. This
attitude greatly encourages the use of examinations, since it is considered it
necessary for them to measure their capabilities.
 16. Why do some people disagree to abolish the examination?

A. Exam result is the only proof of student’s capabilities.

B. Nobody trusts the students nowadays.
C. It is a regulation in the country.
D. It is a good measurement.
E. It is for the sake of efficiency.

17. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A. The examination still keeps going on.

B. The teachers’ roles supervise the students.
