Read the following passage carefully and decide whether these statements are true (T) or false (F). WOMEN IN THE NUCLEAR FAMILY The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together; in other words, they had an “extended family”. Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of the large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The “nuclear family” consists of only one father, one mother, and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere. The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: They have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the Family structure in most parts of the world is still “patriarchal”; that is, the the head of the family and makes most of the important decisions. Studies show, however, that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life. Also, well-educated husbands and wives often prefer to share the power. But wives usually have to “pay” for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandmothers, and aunts helped 8one another with housework and child care. In ‘addition, older women in a large family group had important decisions. Wives in nuclear families do not enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too: Women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from nuclear fam 's often have to live alone. Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and child care were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Of course, this situation is changing. Women now work outside the home and have more freedom than they did in the past. Why, then, are some women still discontent? In most parts of the world today, women work because the family needs more money. However, their outside jobs often give them less freedom, not more, because they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs — one outside the home and another inside — and not much free time. The nuclear family will probably continue to be the main family form of the future. Change, however, usually brings disadvantages along with benefits, and the family forms of the past had many advantages.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer for each of the following questions by circling the letter A, B, C or D. Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language. Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtle: ver since there have been human beings. ‘When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfecuy.. Even today thet re spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write. In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire ‘the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly. To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter, One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any makes us human, writing makes us civilized.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer for each question by circling the letter A, B, C or D. Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feclings has been in the form of oral speech. When there i a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language, in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact, and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A ik can be a way of flirting or indicating that 26the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

Accreditation is a system for setting national standards of quality in education. The United States is unique in the world because its accreditation system is not administered by the government, but rather by committees of educators and private agencies like the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Society of Engineers. Before registering to study in any cducational institution in the United States, a student should make certain that the institution is accredited in order to assure that the school has a recognized standard of organization, instruction, and financial support. Foreign students should be particularly careful to check an institution’s accreditation because other governments or future employers may not recognize a degree earned from a school that has not received accreditation, If a college is accredited, catalogs and brochures will usually indicate the accreditation status. If you are not sure about a certain school, don’t hesitate to check its reputation with an education officer at the nearest U.S embassy. (Pamela J. Sharpe, 1995: 126) 1.
