II.Read the passage carefully, then choose (A, B, C, or D) to answer each question: 
 In developing countries, people are sometimes unaware of the importance of education, and there is economic 
pressure from those parents who prioritize their children's, making money in the short term over any long-term 
benefits of education. Recent studies on child labor and, poverty have suggested that when poor families reach a 
certain economic threshold where families are able to provide for their basic needs, parents return their children to 
school. This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic value of 
the children's work has increased since their return to school.
 Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good universities and a low 
acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population density.
 India has launched EDUSAT, an education satellite that can reach remote parts of the country at a greatly reduced 
cost. There is also an initiative supported by several major corporations to develop a $100 laptop. The laptops have 
been available since 2007. The laptops, sold at cost, will enable developing countries to give their children a digital 
education. In Africa, an "e-school program" has been launched to provide all 600,000 primary and high schools with 
computer equipment, learning materials and internet access within 10 years. Volunteer groups are working to give 
more individuals opportunity to receive education in developing countries through such programs as the Perpetual 
Education Fund. An International Development Agency project started with the support of American President Bill 
Clinton uses the Internet to allow co-operation by individuals on issues of social development.
