II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Sociologists study society and how it is organized. They study what a
society believes and how it is changing. They explain how people behave, but not
how they ought to behave.
Almost every society is based on the family. Some societies have nuclear
families. In the nuclear family the parents and children live together in one house.
4

Other societies have extended families. In this kind of family there are
grandparents, parents, children, uncles, and other relatives all living together. In
some societies, there are tribes. A tribe is a group of extended families that have
the same ancestors. In North and South America, the members of each Indian
tribe speak the same language. Each tribe in Africa has its own language too. In
Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf countries, the tribes all speak Arabic. Sometimes
the power of the extended family or the tribe is based on the land that it owns.
Everybody in a family knows how to behave as a family member. Children
learn how to act like grown-ups by watching the adults in their family. They learn
how a father or mother should behave. Everyone knows what the correct
behavior is, and relatives like to talk about this. “Is Kumiko acting the way a
mother should act?” “Does Abdullah behave in the right way for a husband?”
It is hard to look at research about the family with our minds instead of our
feelings. Each person is part of a family and a society and knows what a family
should be like. It is hard to realize that one kind of family can fit a society very
well, even if it is very different from the family in our society.

A. their father
B. their mother
C. their younger siblings
D. their grandparents

questions.
Music therapy is using music to help people with a variety of problems. For
example, it can help people with communication and speech problems speak
better. It can help people with memory problems remember things from their
past. Music therapy can also help people manage stress and be more relaxed. It
can even make people with bad pain feel better.
In music therapy, a music therapist works with one person alone or with
small groups. The therapist meets with the person and does tests to find out what
the problem is and what the person can do with music. Then the therapist decides
what kind of music therapy to use. Some people sing, and others might compose
music, but a person doesn't need to know about music to be helped by music
therapy. There are options such as listening to music and dancing to music.
Research shows that these activities are good for the body and for the mind.
Homes that take care of elderly people often have music therapy programs.
The programs help the elderly be more energetic and also help with memory
problems. Some hospitals have music therapy for patients who are in a lot of
pain. Music can affect a part of the brain that reduces pain.

Trevor Gibbons is one example of a person who was helped by music
therapy. In 2000, he was putting in windows on the fourth floor of a building
when he fell. Trevor says that music also helped him manage loneliness, sadness,
and pain after he was hurt. Music and the music therapist inspired him, and he
has written and sung many songs. He has even recorded CDs and performed at
Lincoln Center in New York.

volunteering has on their character. Volunteers often say that the experience has
made them a better person. In most cases, volunteers also become more

“Are you tired of cleaning the house? Tired of cooking? Don't worry.
Soon, domestic robots will do all the boring jobs while you relax.” People were

technology be a dream or a nightmare?
Some scientists believe that robots will make the world a better place. We
will build robots that can do all the dangerous and difficult jobs. There will be

will destroy the human race and possibly the entire planet.
