B We are all interested in equality, but while soe people try to protect the school and exaination syste in the nae of equality, other, still in the nae of equality, want only to destroy it. Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achieveent ust regularly test its pupils. The standards ay be changed—no exaination is perfect—but to have no tests or exainations would ean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in exainations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would ean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without exainations, eployers will look for eployees fro the highly respected schools and fro failies known to the—a for of favourtis will replace equality. At the oent, the bright child fro an ill—respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lake of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well—respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if exainations were taken away, and the bright child for a poor faily would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to copete for eployent with the child fro the favoured school. The opponents of the exaination syste suggest that exainations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there ust be no special, different, acadeic class. They have even suggested that there should be no for of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsysteatic selection. The selection would be ade by people who theselves are probably selected by soe coputer.

89. What would happen if exainations were taken away according to the author? A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation. B. There would be ore opportunities and excellence. C. Children fro poor failies would be able to change their schools. D. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.
