V. READING PASSAGE
Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions 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 great variety of tasks, though duties may differ batman 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 sect that largely renounce 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 Demut, “humility" clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typycal of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of me 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 pronounced 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 equivalent 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.

FINDING THE CAREER THAT FITS YOUR PERSONALITY
If you've finished your exams and have absolutely no idea what to do next, you're not alone.' says Sheridan Hughes, an occupational psychologist at Career Analysts, a career counseling service. 'At 18, it can be very difficult to know what you want to do because you don't really know what you're interested in.’
Careers guidance, adds Alexis Hallam, one of her colleagues, is generally poor and 'people can end up in the wrong job and stay there for years because they're good at something without actually enjoying it.’
To discover what people are good at, and more fundamentally, what they will enjoy doing. Career Analysts give their clients a battery of personality profile questionnaires and psychometric tests. An in-depth interview follows, in which the test results are discussed and different career paths and options are explored with the aid of an occupational psychologist. Career Analysts offers guidance to everyone, from teenagers to retirees looking for a new focus in life.
The service sounded just what I needed. Dividing my time as I do between teaching and freelance journalism, I definitely need advice about consolidating my career.
Being too ancient for Career Analysts' student career option guidance and not, unfortunately, at the executive level yet, I opted for the career management package. This is aimed at people who are established in their jobs and who either want a change or some advice about planning the next step in their careers.
Having filled in a multitude of personality indicator questionnaires at home. I then spent a rather grueling morning being aptitude-tested at Career Analysts’ offices. The tests consisted of logical reasoning followed by verbal, mechanical and aptitude papers. Logical reasoning required me to pick out the next shape in a sequence of triangles, squares and oblongs. I tried my best but knew that it was really a lost cause. I fared rather better when it came to verbal aptitude - finding the odd one out in a series of words couldn't be simpler. My complacency was short-lived, however, when I was confronted with images of levers and pulleys for the mechanical aptitude papers. My mind went blank. I had no idea what would happen to wheel X when string Y was pulled.
At home, filling in questionnaires, I had been asked to give my instinctive reaction (not an over – considered one) to statements like: ‘It bothers me if people think I’m being odd or unconventional', or ‘I like to do my planning alone without interruptions from others.’ I was asked to agree or disagree on a scale of one to five with 'I often take on impossible odds', or 'It is impossible for me to indicate how important I consider status to be in a job, and how important money and material benefits.
The questions attempt to construct a picture of the complete individual. Using aptitude tests alongside personality profiling, occupational psychologists will, the theory goes, be able to guide a client towards a rewarding, fulfilling career. Some questions are as straightforward as indicating whether or not you would enjoy a particular job. Designing aircraft runways? Preparing legal documents? Playing a musical instrument? Every career going makes an appearance and, as I was shown later, the responses tend to form a coherent pattern.
Having completed my personality and aptitudes tests, I sat down with Sheridan Hughes, who asked me fairy searching personal and professional questions. What do my parents and siblings do for a living? Why had I chosen to do an English degree? ‘I need to get picture of you as a person and how you’ve come to be who you are, ‘I need to get a picture of you as a person and how you’ve come to be who you are,’ she explained. ‘What we do works because it’s a mixture of science and counseling. We use objective psychometric measures to discover our clients’ natural strengths and abilities and then we talk to them about what they want from life.’
There were no real superises in my own test results, nor in the interview that followed it. 'We're interested in patterns,'Mrs Hughes explained, 'and the pattern or you is strongly verbal and communicative.' This was putting it rather kindly ad come out as average on the verbal skills test and below average in logic, numerical, perceptual and mechanical reasoning. My spatial visualization was so bad it was almost off the scale. 'A career in cartography, navigation, tiling or
architecture would not be playing to your strengths, she said delicately. Mrs Hughes encouraged me to expand the writing side of my career and gave me straightforward, practical suggestions as to how I could go about it. 'Widen the scope of your articles' she said. ‘You could an interest and psychological fields’. These latter, she said, would sit comfortably with a interest in human behavior indicated on my personality-profiling questionnaires. She suggested that I consider writing e-learning content for on-line course avenue that would never have occurred to me.

Greenhouse gases are being released into the atmosphere 30 times faster than the time when the Earth experienced a (l) .............. episode of global Warming.
Study comparing the rate at which carbon dioxide and methane are being, (2) .............. now, compared to 55 million years ago when global warming also occurred, has found dramatic differences in the speed of release. James Zachos, professor of earth sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, said the speed of the present buildup of greenhouse gases is far greater than during the global warming after the (3) .............. of the dinosaurs. "The emissions that caused this past episode of global warming probably lasted 10.000 years," Professor Zachos told the American Association for the Advancement of Science at a meeting in St. Louis.

III. ERROR CORRECTION
The following passage contain 10 errors. Identify and correct them.
An environmental history of mankind would have to be a history of the exploitation of abundant natural resources, the spiral demand for these in resources. and their inevitable depletion. As humanity spread over the globe, leaving colonies in their wake. essential resources such as coal, oil, and even fresh water were extracted through industrial mining and manufacturing operations that had a massive impact on the Earth itself.
That was once a plethora of riches has inexorably declined, and entrepreneurs are now looking into the limits of land, sea, and sky; the new target is the stars and, more especially. asteroids. Spinning around the Sun are tens of thousands of asteroids, and scientists have convinced that these mountain-like formations contain a treasure trove of minerals and metals. The asteroid 16 Psyche has enough iron-nickel ore to sustain the Earth for several million years. Even a comparatively small asteroid could contain more than 2.000 million metric tons of serviceable mineral metal reserves. In addition, some asteroids have a high ice content which means that they could be an economically viable source of fresh water. Large-scale mining of asteroids is possibly the key to solve many of our escalating environmental problems. Any mining venture contains an element of risk, however. Asteroids have traditionally been considered dead perils lurking out in the dark depths of space, bided their time before smashing headlong into our insignificant planet. In order to transplant mining operations from the Earth to the stars, we need to find solutions to extensive safety and logistical problems.
