workaholics

great

energy

and

interest

in

work so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics,work and

entertainment

are

same

thing.

a

keeps

them

busy

and

creative.

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is

made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today.

The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom.

They

grow

up

more

quickly

and

are

not

so

dependent

on

their

parents.

They

think

more

for

themselves

and

do

not

accept

the

ideas

of

the

elders.

Events

which

the

older

generation

remember vividly are nothing more than past history.

The

old

always

assume

that

they

know

best

for

the

simple

reason

that

they

have

been

around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened.

And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their

elders and disturbing their complacency. Who said that human differences can best be solved

through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used

violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilty in their personal lives?

Can anything be right with the rat-

race? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in

life?

Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might

be reversed. The old-if they are prepared to admit it-could learn a thing or two from their

3

of the biggest lessons they learn is that enjoyment is not “sinful”. It is surely not

wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future.

ing to the passage,the young today

.

forced to remember the old events

more dependent on family

more money and freedom

more restrictions and problems

can be inferred from the passage that

.

A.

the differences between the young and the old are the greatest

B.

today the old complain more about the

young’s

behaviors

C.

the young are better educated and know more

D.

the old remember many old events

young

can’t

understand

.

A.

why they should remember those old events

B.

why their parents are so progressive of them

C.

why they should receive better education

D.

why the old often resort to violence or war to solve problems

14.

Which of the following statements is the reason why the old always assume they know best?

are richer than the young

B.

they are happier than the young

C.

they have better memory than the young

D.

they have lived longer than the young

15.

According to the passage, what the old can learn from the young

is that

.

has reason to enjoy life

tional politics is going out the way

ing better education is very important

ess is the most important thing in life

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an

overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats

dance into view.

The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is

money enough to satisfy one level of wants ,another level appears.

The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second

level of wants appears:clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants

were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such

items as automobiles and new houses.

By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then in the late 1950s a

fourth level of wants appeared: the

“

life- enriching

”

level. While the other levels mean physical

4

satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety and transportation of the human body, this level stresses

mental

needs

for

recognition,

achievement

and

happiness.

It

includes

a

variety

of

goods

and

services many of which could be called

“

luxury
