THE FAMILY
Statesmen define a family as “a group of individuals having a common dwelling and related by blood,

these groups and will live their lives as a family in such a group.
Although the definition of a family may not change, (27)__________relationship of people to each
other within the family group changes as society changes. More and more wives are taking paying jobs,
and, as a result, the roles of husband, wife and children are changing. Today, men expect to work for pay for

women can expect to work for about 30 to 35 years of their lives. This means that men must learn to do their

The Art World
One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a
market must be created for an artist to be successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual prints
was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth-century artist best known for the painting
of his mother, called "Arrangement in Grey and Black", but known to most of US as "Whistler's Mother".
Whistler's brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well-known artist, had speculated that
collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies
produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print.
 As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, thefr work
began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they
began copying the procedure.
Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of
the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within image, in any of the
margins, or even on the reverse side of the 'print. Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still
valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.
Question 31: Which of the following would be a better title for the passage?
A. Whistler's Mother. B. Whistler's Greatest Works,
C. The Practice of Signing Prints. D. Copying Limited Edition Prints.
Question 32: What made Whistler's work more valuable?
A. His fame as an artist. B. His painting of his mother,
C. His signature on the prints. D. His brother-in-law's prints.
Question 33: The word “speculated” in the paragraph I could best be replaced by .
A. guessed B. noticed C. denied D. announced
Question 34: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to .
A. the same edition B. the image C. the reverse side D. a print
Question 35: The author mentions all of the following as reasons why a collector prefers a signed print
EXCEPT .
A. it guarantees the print's authenticity B. it makes the print more personal
C. it encourages higher prices for the print D. it limits the number of copies of the print
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 from 36-42
From smartphones and tablets to apps and social media, society is ambushed from all sides with
technology. Naturally, all generations embrace it differently, with younger “digital natives” generally being
more connected, more switched-on and more tech literate than older age groups.
According to Pew Research, 92% of Millennials (born 1981–1996) own smartphones, compared with
85% of Gen Xers (born 1965–1980) and 67% of Baby Boomers (born 1946–1964). In terms of tech
behavior, older generations tend to use their phones mostly for making calls, whereas for younger
generations, a phone is their digital window to the world. Phones are used for social media, going online,
texting, emailing, playing games, listening to music, and recording and watching videos.
The daily media consumption of different generations also vastly differs. Gen Z and Millennials favor
streaming and online services, with 46% of teens saying they use Netflix compared to 31% of those aged
over 16. Furthermore, 16-24s spend 30% of their downtime watching TV or video, compared to 40% of
time spent on these activities by the average UK adult. Boomers spend a whopping 344 minutes a day
watching regular TV, significantly more than any other age group.
Size also matters more depending on your decade of birth. Younger generations prefer smaller screens
sizes, opting for a smartphone as their go-to tech, while Generation X and technology newbies - the
Boomers, are going bigger, owning more desktops and tablets. Always in the front of the queue for the
hottest tech, younger generations see technology as an integral part of their existence, and since few
Millennials and Gen Z can remember a time without social media, they’re more fearless and carefree when it
comes to technology. So much so, that a LivePerson report revealed 65% of Millennials and Gen Z interact
more with each other online than they do in the real world.
Fundamentally, these behaviors and preferred technologies combine to create a technological generation
gap, where employees, shaped by their personal experiences, demonstrate different levels of ability and
willingness to adopt new tech. Constantly chasing the next update or device, switched on Millennials and
Gen Z are quick to lap up the latest apps, games, and platforms, while Gen X and Boomers are generally
slower to embrace technology - both at home and in the workplace.
