        　　Passage Two
        　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
        　　Americans have always been ambivalent in their attitudes toward education.
On the one hand, free and universal public education was seen as necessary in a
democracy, for how else would citizens learn how to govern themselves in a
responsible way? On the other hand, America was always a country that offered
financial opportunities for which education was not needed: on the road from
rags to riches, schooling-beyond the basics of reading, writing, and
arithmetic-was an unnecessary detour.
        　　Even today, it is still possible for people to achieve financial success
without much education, but the number of situations in which this is possible
is decreasing. In today's more complex world, the opportunities for financial
success is closely related to the need for education, especially higher
education.
        　　Our society is rapidly becoming one whose chief product is information, and
dealing with this information requires more and more specialized education. In
other words, we grow up learning more and more about fewer and fewer
subjects.
        　　In the future, this trend is likely to continue. Tomorrow's world will be
even more complex than today's world, and, to manage this complexity, even more
specialized education will be needed.
