According to anthropologists, people in preindustrial societies spent 3 to 4 hours per day or
about 20 hours per week doing the work necessary for life. Modern comparisons of the amount of
work performed per week, however, begin with the Industrial Revolution (1760-1840) when 10- to
12-hour workdays with six workdays per week were the norm. Even with extensive time devoted to
work, however, both incomes and standards of living were low. As incomes rose near the end of the
Industrial Revolution, it became increasingly common to treat Saturday afternoons as a half-day

holiday. The half holiday had become standard practice in Britain by the 1870's, but did not become

common in the United States until the 1920's.

In the United States, the first third of the twentieth century saw the workweek move from 60

hours per week to just under 50 hours by the start of the 1930' s. In 1914, Henry Ford reduced daily

work hours at his automobile plants from 9 to 8. In 1926 he announced that henceforth his factories

would close for the entire day on Saturday. At the time, Ford received criticism from other firms

such as United States Steel and Westinghouse, but the idea was popular with workers.

The Depression years of the 1930's brought with them the notion of job sharing to spread

available work around; the workweek dropped to a modem low for the United States of 35 hours. In

1938 the Fair Labor Standards Act mandated a weekly maximum of 40 hours to begin in 1940, and

since that time the 8-hour day, 5-day workweek has been the standard in the United States.

Adjustments in various places, however, show that this standard is not immutable. In 1987, for

example, German metalworkers struck for and received a 37.5-hour workweek; and in 1990 many

workers in Britain won a 37-hour week. Since 1989, the Japanese government has moved from a 6-

to a 5-day workweek and has set a national target of 1,800 work hours per year for the average

worker. The average amount of work per year in Japan in 1989 was 2,088 hours per worker,

compared to 1,957 for the United States and 1,646 for France.

Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Working conditions during the Industrial Revolution.

B. Why people in preindustrial societies worked few hours per week.

C. Changes that have occurred in the number of hours that people work per week.

D. A comparison of the number of hours worked per year in several industries.

Question 37: Which of the following is mentioned as one of the purposes of the Fair Labor

Standards Act of 1938?

A. To allow employers to set the length of the workweek for their workers.

B. To discourage workers from asking for increased wages.

C. To establish a limit on the number of hours in the workweek.

D. To restrict trade with countries that had a long workweek.

Question 38: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as evidence that the length of the

workweek has been declining since the nineteenth century?

A. German metalworkers. B. United States Steel and Westinghouse

C. Henry Ford. D. The half-day holiday.

Question 39: Compared to preindustrial times, the number of hours in the workweek in the

A. Several people sometimes shared a single job.

B. Labor strikes in several countries influenced labor policy in the United States.

C. Several corporations increased the length of the workweek.

D. The United States government instituted a 35-hour workweek.

Question 42: The "idea" mentioned in line 15 refers to _______

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet ton indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were marked
by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and
vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one,
bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass
objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberately distorted, with pale or
iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on
ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its
greatest popularity had been generically termed "art glass". Art glass was intended for decorative
purposes and relied for its effect upon carefully chosen color combinations and innovative
techniques.

France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style: among the most
celebrated was Emile Galle (1846-1901). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933)
was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces,
which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer,
successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Persian motifs.

The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915, although

its influence continued throughout the mid-1920’s. It was eventually to be overtaken by a new

school of thought known as Functionalism that had present since the turn of the century. At first

restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers. Functionalism emerged as the

dominant influence upon designers after the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement –

that function should determine form – was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code

evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric

relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the style and

conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art

Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast

stark outline, and complex textural surfaces.

Question 43: The word “one” refers to _______ .

A. coloration B. style C. development D. century

Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that one reason Functionalism became popular was

that it _______

A. clearly distinguished between art and design.

B. appealed to people who liked complex painted designs.

C. reflected a common desire to break from the past.

D. was easily interpreted by the general public.

Question 45: What does the author mean by stating that “function should determine form”?

A. A useful object should not be attractive.

B. The form of an object should not include decorative elements.

C. The purpose of an object should influence its form.

D. The design of an object is considered more significant than its function.

Question 46: According to the passage, an object made in the Art Nouveau style would most likely

include _______ .

A. modern symbols.

B. a textured surface.

C. a flowered design.

D. bright colors.

Question 47: Paragraph 3 supports which of the following statements about Functionalism?

A. It was a major force in the decorative arts before the First World War.

B. It started on a small scale and then spread gradually.

C. It was not attractive to architects all designers.

D. Its design concept avoided geometric shapes.

Question 48: What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss?

A. Design elements in the Art Nouveau style. B. Production techniques for art glass.

C. The popularity of the Art Nouveau style. D. Color combinations typical of the Art Nouveau

style.

Question 49: The word “overtaken” in line 16 is closest in meaning to _______ .

A. inclined B. applied C. surpassed D. expressed

Question 50: Paragraph 1 mentions that Art Nouveau glass was sometimes similar to which aspect

of ancient buried glass?

A. The distortion of the glass. B. The appearance of the

glass surface.

C. The shapes of the glass objects. D. The size of the glass objects.
