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 questions.
If you were going to choose a job that involves travel, what would be your first choice? There are many jobs available today that give people opportunities to travel. Although many traveling careers sound fantastic, they also have disadvantages.
Being an au pair is an excellent way not only to go to different countries, but to live in different places around the world and really get a feel for the culture. Au pairs live with the families they are placed with and take care of children. Many parents include au pairs in family events and vacations, so they experience many aspects of the new culture while on the job. However, many of the activities are centered around the children, so they may not get to experience many things that interest adults. 
For people who want a bit more freedom working abroad, being an English teacher may be a good choice. There are English teaching jobs in almost all countries in the world. People teaching English in other countries often have a chance to travel on the weekends around the country. One drawback is that many teachers often wind up hanging out with other English teachers, and they don’t have time to learn the country’s language. 
The nickname “roadie” implies that this job involves life on the road. Roadies are people who work and travel with bands and provide technical support. Roadies can be lighting and stage crew who set up the stage and break it down before and after events. They can also be technicians helping band members with their instruments. International tours take a band’s crew to cities around the world, often requiring air travel. However, the crew doesn’t get much time off, so they may travel to several countries without seeing much besides concert venues and hotels. 
Similarly, flight attendants often travel to cities around the world, but they don’t see much besides the inside of airplanes and hotels. However, when they do have time off, they can often fly at no cost, and their family members can sometimes fly free as well. It is widely thought that a flight attendant job is glamorous, but flight attendants must deal with travel hassles, as well as security issues.
All jobs gave advantages and disadvantages whether or not you travel for work, so if you have the travel bug, keep these jobs in mind for the future.

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 questions.
A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or community structure and highly developed rituals. 
Order is maintained through approvals based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a large number of tasks, though they may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming community that largely rejects the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. 
The Amish’s central religious concept of modesty clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their community. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order. 
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a obvious division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from “folk”. 
The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk- made objects give way to their popular equivalents, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner.
Question 43. What does the passage mainly discuss? 
A. The characteristics of “folk” and “popular” societies.	
B. Two decades in modern society. 
C. The influence of industrial technology. 	
D. The specialization of labor in Canada and the United States. 
Question 44. The word “paramount” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______. 
A. important	B. questionable	C. interesting	D. optional
Question 45. The word “prevails” in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by _______. 
A. dominates 	B. provides 	C. develops 	D. invests 
Question 46. The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. tasks	B. individuals	C. divisions of labour	D. persons
Question 47. Which of the following is typical of folk cultures? 
A. Social change occurs slowly. 	B. There is a money-based economy. 
C. Contact with other cultures is encouraged. D. Each person develops one specialized skill.
Question 48. Which of the following statements about Amish beliefs does the passage support? 
A. Pre-modern technology is preferred. 	
B. A variety of religious practices are tolerated. 
C. Individualism and competition are important. 	
D. People are defined according to their class. 
Question 49. Which of following is NOT given as a reason why folk-made objects are replaced by mass- produced objects? 
A. quality	B. cost	C. convenience	D. prestige
