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.
Before the 1500’s. the Western plains of North America were dominated by farmers. One group, the
Mandans, lived in the upper Missouri River country, primarily in present-day North Dakota. They had
large villages of houses built close together. The tight arrangement
enabled
the Mandans to protect
themselves more easily from the attacks of others who might seek to obtain some of the food these highly
capable farmers stored from one year to the next.
The women had primary responsibility for the fields. They had to exercise
considerable
skill to
produce the desired results, for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons. Winter often
lingered; autumn could be ushered in by severe frost. For good measure, during the spring and summer,
drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other frustrations might await the wary grower.
Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity. They
began as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to clear stubble
from the fields and then planting. From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop
required labor and vigilance. Harvesting proceeded in two stages. In August the Mandans picked a
smaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully. This green corn was boiled, dried, and shelled,
with some of the maize slated for immediate
consumption
and the rest stored in animal-skin bags. Later
in the fall, the people picked the rest of the corn. They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade,
with the remainder eaten right away or stored for later use in underground reserves. With appropriate

banking of the extra food, the Mandans protected themselves against the
disaster
of crop failure and
accompanying hunger.
The women planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time of the
green corn harvest. After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung the slices before they stored
them. Once again, they saved the seed from the best of the year`s crop. The Mandans also grew
sunflowers and tobacco ; the latter was the particular task of the older men.

36. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Various ways corn can be used
B. Weather conditions on the western plains
C. The agricultural activities of a North American Society

considerable

38. The Mandans built their houses close together in order to ________ .
A. allow more room for growing corn B. share farming implements
C. protect themselves against the weather D. guard their supplies of food
39. According to the passage, the Mandans preserved their food by ________ .
A. drying B. freezing C. smoking D. salting

A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self sufficient group that is homogeneous

in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is
maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong.
Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of
labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though
duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails.
Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer
exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern

equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces
the
products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies still serve as
a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish's central
religious concept of Demut, "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so
typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the
Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal
mechanism for maintaining order.
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and
constantly changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists,
leading to the establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions, of control such as the
police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy
prevails. Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The
popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-made
objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply
produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner.
