　　IV. READING COMPREHENSION
　　Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:
　　In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher.On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressuresof academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers withspecialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil maybe able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decidewhich adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every youngperson from the first year what guidance and personal help is available--but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encouragesrequests for help is another matter. dedecms.com
　　Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to achild. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-oftenrather frightening-looking people-and realizes than an increasing numberof choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through theschool the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions requiredwill increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the firststeps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult lifefor which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for per-sonal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy tounderstand and within easy reach of pupils.
