V. READING

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the question from 1 to 5.

EARNING POWER

Everyone wants a job that pays well. Some people stop school early because they want
to start earning cash right away. Others spend years and years studying in school in
order to get a better job. Which is best? Actually, studies show that in most jobs, the
higher your education, the higher your earning power.
For example, in the United States, high school graduates can make about $30,400 a
year. The people who do not finish high school average only $23,400 a year. Just having
a document that says you finished high school means an extra $7,000!
If you stay in school, you can make more money. A person who goes to college and gets a
bachelor's degree can make an average of $52,200. With a master's degree, he or she can
10 make about $62,000. And studies show that if a person gets a PhD, he or she can make
