Midsummer, the celebration of the turning of the sun, has been being the highlight of the northern summer for centuries- an event full of symbolism, customs, magic and superstitions. In Finland, Midsummer night is so short
as that evening duck flows into morning dawn almost unnoticed. Even in
southern Finland, midnight is the best described as strong twilight.	
Midsummer night was, most of all, the cerebration of greenery and fruit. Nature is in a full bloom then and the day is never-ending. It was
customary throughout Finland to bring branches and greenery to indoors on
Midsummer Eve. Houses were so thoroughly cleaned and decorated with
birch branches and flower garlands. This ‘indoor forest’ was complete when
leaves on the scrubbed floor gave out a fresh forest aroma. Midsummer is 
still the Finns’ most important summer cerebration. They gather together around the bonfire to make dance, play and be with family and friends
themselves. In some areas Midsummer poles decorated with flowers garlands and leaves are erected for the festivities. Although some of the old ceremonies are now performed only for fun, Midsummer night, as bathed in the strange white light of the North, is still mysterious.

VIII. Read and choose the best answer for each question (2 points)
Sigmund Fred was not a literary theorist. However, he did contribute to critical theory through both his theories and his use of art to show that the application of psychology can extend to the highest forms of cultures. Freud was always interested in literature, and he drew some of the best illustrations of his theories from classic poems and plays.
Freud saw the unconscious as the impetus of both natural and psychic activity. Therefore, the same principles operated in both, and that the same mechanisms – such as displacement and symbolization – applied. While Freud was not the first to note the importance of the unconscious mind, he was the first to attempt to coherent theory of its operation and function. He argued that the unconscious operates according to universal law and is crucial to all aspects of mental life that involve fantasy, or diversion from reality. 	From this point of view, it is natural to apply Freudian principles to imaginative literature. Writers transform individual, unconscious fantasy into universal art – a kind of formal fantasy halfway between a reality that denies wishes and a world of imagination in which every wish is granted.
In focusing on the unconscious origins for literature, Freud was in a sense reviving the traditional idea of divine inspiration. (1) Philosophers and art theorists have often turned to such a theory of the imagination to explain multiple meanings, repetition, and any apparent disorder in art. Similarly, psychoanalysis uses the theory of the unconscious to explain examples of “disorder” in consciousness, such as dreams.
(2) This analogy allowed Freud to suggest that fantasies called art could be interpreted in the same way as dreams. Writers, as Freud noted, have always seen great significance in dreams. In his view, portrayals of dreams in works of literature supported his own theories about their structures, mechanism, and interpretation. For example, the mechanisms of displacement and symbolization obviously resemble the literary devices of metaphor and symbolism. (3)
Critics of Freud have objected that the non-logical processes of the unconscious do not resemble the conscious effort that results in work of literature. Freud would reply that while conscious thought is necessary to produce works of art, the creative source of art remain in the conscious. In this view, conscious activity merely obscures what is truly important in art. What interested Freud were the deep unconscious structure literature shares with myth and religion, as well as with dreams. The apparent individuality of literature was not as significant as its ultimate universality. (4)
Which of the following best states the main idea of the reading?
The best way to understand the creation of literature is through Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis.
Freud argued convincingly that both psychic phenomena and literature may be interpreted with reference to the unconscious.

 In countries where two or more languages are spoken, language is frequently a political and highly emotive issue. Although Canada is officially bilingual, the French – speaking province of Quebec introduced the law in 1976 which, in other measures, banned languages rather than French on commercial signs and restricted admissions to English speaking schools. In 1988, the supreme court of Canada rules that some in sections of this law were illegal. No sooner had they done so than thousands of French speakers took to the street protest. Under the regime of General Franco, a Basque language spoken by about 600,000 people in Spain was forbidden. So strict was this ban that people using Basque in public could be imprisoned.
Lingual suppression still goes on, but on the whole, governments today are more tolerable of their minority languages. Nowhere has this reverse of attitudes been more pronounced than in Wales. Until the twentieth century, Welsh was all along illegal, and its usage was forbidden in schools and at many places of work. Only a long campaign of protests and vandalism by Welsh speakers in the 1960s did the British government allow Welsh to become an official language.
