PART II: READING

Paragraph A:
What has the word “family” meant in history? From prehistoric to modern times, the idea has most
often had to do with shared living facilities. The first “families” were simply groups of people that shared
general survival and goals in a common residence; their main purposes were to produce and protect
offspring (new humans) to continue the race. In ancient Roman society, men headed family groups that
included wives, growing and grown children, and slaves with their offspring. Later, in pre-industrial
Europe, there were both “nuclear family” structures (parents and their children) and larger “extended
families” of more than two generations. A family size depended on how long its members lived and could
care for one another; its social standing or class depended on property ownership and power over other
groups of people. Because of new work and living conditions in the Industrial Revolution however, people

7
began connecting outside their families; government, society, and social institutions started to play a role
in meeting human needs. In modern times, some family forms have been like those of the past, but there
have also been many individuals residing alone; widowed, childless, or single-parent, and so on. There
has never been one “true” family form: the idea of “family” is likely to continue developing in the future,
but it will probably stay connected to the idea of “home”.
55. What is the main idea contained in the above paragraph _____________.
A) family structure at the time of Industrial revolution
B) family structure in ancient Roman society
C) family structure in throughout history
D) family structure in the future

C) share a common residence
D) continue to take part in races
57. Which of the following was a part of the families in ancient Roman society?
A) groups of people with shared goals
B) slaves with their offspring
C) individuals residing alone
D) members who could care for one another
58. Nuclear family structures were available in ____________________.
A) modern time
B) in ancient Roman society
C) at the time of the industrial revolution
D) pre – industrial Europe
59. Extended families refer to ______________________.
A) families that extend from one country to another
B) families with power over other groups
C) families with people of more than two generations
D) families of social standing

Paragraph (B)
After food and clothing necessary for survival, the most important basic need is shelter. Throughout
human history, people have needed protection from “the elements” (wind, rain, storms, cold, sun). Before
they discovered how to build structures, human beings found shelter in trees, which provided protection
from extreme weather, insects, wild animals, and other dangers. The earliest people began to “feel at
home” in caves. In the “Stone Age” a prehistoric period of about two million years, human builders
arranged branches on top of one another to make themselves places to live. With stone tools, prehistoric
builders created tents out of animal skins, or they put big stones together to build shelters. Later
generations created homes from the earth itself; they formed bricks out of clay and dried them in the sun.
The first roofs (building coverings) were of earth and plants. Everywhere in the world where there were
human beings, necessity led to invention.

Paragraph (C)
In the European Middle Ages, beginning in the 5th century most structures were cold, wet, and dark;
sometimes it was warmer and lighter outside a home than within its walls. The simple, one-room houses
of the poor had only small windows without glass (covered with wood at night), hard-earth floors, and
plant roofs, which could catch fire when occupants were cooking or heating the inside. Common people
with greater resources could build more durable homes that included stone or mud-brick walls, hard tiled
floors, framed windows, safer fireplaces, and protection against the elements and dangerous outsiders.
Some groups of buildings developed into fortified castles. With their thick stone walls, the main purpose
of these fortresses for the wealthy and powerful was security – not only of their owners but also of their
families, workers, animals, food, weapons, and valued resources.

Paragraph (D)

Social scientists, researchers, and architects that think about future housing agree: it is likely to look and
feel different from today. Modern designers and thinkers have suggested housing under or above the
earth, perhaps connected to trees, caves, stones, or other natural features in creative ways. They base their
ideas on past, present, and possible future human ways. Another goal may be survival, including
protection against natural disasters, extreme weather, and dangers created by other humans. Also, many
people want to decrease the environmental impact of their housing, perhaps with buildings that produce
their own energy. Housing plans and construction in the future is likely to involve the latest technological
discoveries and inventions. Even so, it may have a lot in common with housing of the past – and there
will always be the human need to call someplace, “home”.

The Higher Learning of Community Living

Introduction and Definitions
Before college, most young people around the world live in a family home. Their first experience of
living away from home may be in a residence hall at an “institution of higher ed (education).” One
definition of dorm is “a building with rooms for residents, usually with common bathroom facilities and
recreation areas.” In many ways, college dormitories are like other kinds if shared housing, like co-ops
(co-operatives), international houses, apartment rentals, or private homes. Both on campus and in the
larger community, shared living accommodations vary in size, number of occupants, cost, facilities,

10
amenities, other features. Residents without their own bedroom may have to share in double or triples
with one or two roommates. But even occupants with private single rooms have relate to people of various
lifestyles and habits in the same building or area. In fact, some institutions define dormitory as “a shared
living and learning community on a college or university campus.” That’s because the main advantage of
any kind of communal living is the “higher learning” of getting along with others.

Reasons Not to Go Away to School in Another Town, City, Or Country

The most important features of the higher education experience are safety (security), health,
comfort, and luxury. So why isn’t it a good idea to leave home, family, and friends for academic
study on a college or university campus? One reason is that you’ll have to live in an unfamiliar
place with dangerous strangers. These people probably won’t share your interests, attitudes, and
values. They may not like or care about you! Won’t you feel lonely, homesick, insecure,
unsafe, or miserable with new kinds of people from different cultural or language backgrounds?

The Powerful Influence of Weather

Biometeorologists and Their Research
Weather has a powerful impact on the physical world. It also affects people’s
personalities. How do we know about the effects of weather on people? We know from
biometeorologists. These scientists study weather. They study how atmospheric conditions
affect human health and emotions. The word atmosphere means ‘‘the air around the earth’’.
‘‘Atmospheric conditions at a time or place’’ is a definition of the word weather. Some examples
of these conditions are sun, wind, rain, snow, humidity (the amount of moisture in the air). The
weather conditions of the atmosphere greatly influence (or affect) people’s health, thinking, and
feelings.
All over the world, winds come down from high mountain areas. The winds fall faster, and
faster, and the air becomes warmer and drier. What do you scientists say about the health effects
of this kind of weather? According to biometeorologists in Russia, powerful winds from the
mountains increase the number of strokes (blood vessel attacks in the brain). Also, sometimes
strong southern winds blow north over Italy. During these times, researchers say, Italians have
more heart attacks (sudden stopping of the heart). People everywhere have bad headaches during
times of forceful winds. And Japanese weather scientists say there is an increase in the number
of asthma attacks. (Asthma is a lung disorder. It causes breathing problems.)

Paragraph (H)

Unlike individual food plans, the diets of whole cultures and regions come from location, history, and
tradition. For example, the typical Mexican diet is a combination of foods from pre-Columbian, Spanish
and French cultures. It is rich in complex carbohydrates (corn, beans, rice, breads) and protein (beans,
eggs, fish, meat). Fish and fish products from the seas around Japan are one of the most important parts
of the traditional Japanese diet. Rich in vitamins and minerals, seafood is served grilled, baked, raw, dried,
pickled, hot, and cold. Soy products (miso, tofu, and bean paste), fermented vegetables, and rice are also
important in the typical Japanese diet. Religious practices may also greatly affect diet. These laws prohibit
eating pork or bacon or other meat from pigs, shellfish, snake, or insects. In addition, some people cannot
eat meat and dairy (milk products) at the same meal. Muslims follow the laws of eating halal, an Islamic
system of eating only permitted foods. Some foods, such as pork or insects, are not permitted. Though
people can eat some meat such as beef from cows, the animals must be killed in a special way, according
to ritual. Also, for religious reasons, some Christians eat fish instead of meat on Fridays. They also limit
their food choices during Lent (the 40 days before Easter) in the spring.

Paragraph (I)

The necessary substances and elements for human life and health are water, protein, carbohydrates,
fats, vitamins, and minerals. Most kinds of food contain some or all of the required nutrients, but these
substances have different effects on people. Various ingredients and dishes affect the mind in different
ways, and some kinds of nourishment have better effects on the brain than others. For instance, can
broccoli increase brain powers? Maybe so. Low levels of some of the B vitamins can cause a decrease in
memory and thinking ability, nutritionists say, but dark green vegetables, like broccoli, contain a lot of
these nutrients. Another example of a "memory helper" is lecithin—a substance from soybeans, also
found in high – fiber foods like nuts and whole grains. High—protein foods influence the mind in more
helpful ways than dishes high in sugar and carbohydrates. And the caffeine in coffee or tea may help
thinking. Of course, its effects don’t last long.

97. The above paragraph deals with_____________.

A) brain foods and other nutrients for the mind and memory

Paragraph (J)

Social scientists believe that huge urban areas have negative effects on people; for instance, residents
of large cities tend to be more depressed, irritable, and anxious than people in rural environments. City
planners in the twentieth century, therefore, designed beautiful cities. Urban design involved the
arrangement of attractive structures (mostly tall building), public spaces, streets, spacious suburban
communities, pleasant parks, necessary resources, industrial areas, and "social housing" for low-income
residents. Its purpose was to make connections between people and places, their movement in and outside
the city, and nature. In the twenty-first century, in contrast community organizers consider "beautiful"
urban and suburban areas wasteful (too expensive) to keep up in difficult economic times. Some also
think they are bad for residents, especially children and retirees. The best "communities", they feel, are
lively "mixed-use" neighborhoods with different kinds of people "watching" what's going on. These are
the best places to live, work, spend time, and interact in.

102. What is the main idea of the above paragraph?

A) The main goal of organizing communities.

Paragraph (L)

How do most people make their diet decisions? Individual choices are often based on former habits,
cost and convenience, beliefs and health and nutrition, and ideas about physical beauty. Some people
learn to like certain foods in childhood, and they don’t change later in life. Many people have busy lives,
so they buy or prepare food and eat it as quickly as possible. Some meal-planners think only fresh and
“natural” food is nutritious, so they buy vegetables, fruits, and foods without additives (chemical
substances) and prepare it in healthy ways. People with health problems – like high-blood pressure or
diabetes (a blood-sugar disorder) may be on special non-salt or non-sugar diets. The nutritional
requirements of very young or very old people may be different from the needs of others. Some cultures
prefer a slim body to a well-rounded one, so people are always trying to lose weight. They may follow
popular diets, such as low-carb diet – an eating system high in protein but low in refined carbohydrates.

A few kinds of communities share both physical location and other features. One example is a
retirement community, which is for people over a certain age. Another is an intentional community (a
group of people with resources, responsibilities, or a common purpose, such as social, economic, political,
or spiritual goal). On college or university campuses, for instance, students may live in places like
residence halls, fraternity or sorority houses, housing cooperatives, or special-interest housing, in other
areas of life, intentional communities can be business, school, church, or other groups that live, work, or
at least meet in person. Many other interacting groups nowadays, however, are virtual communities. Their
members seldom, if ever, get together physically. Instead, they connect from a distance over the Internet:
on computers, smartphones, and other wireless devices. Research into these kinds of groups is relatively
new. Even so, some of their features are similar to those of real-life communities; others are very different.
