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.
One of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expect
that a doctor’s salary will be higher than a bus conductor’s wage. But the question becomes much
more difficult to answer when we compare, say, a miner with an engineer, or an unskilled man
working on an oil-rig in the North Sea with a teacher in a secondary school. What the doctor, the
engineer and teacher have is many years of training in order to obtain the necessary qualifications
for their professions. We feel instinctively that these skills and these years, when they were studying
instead of earning money, should be rewarded. At the same time we recognize that the work of the
miner and the oil-rig laborer is both hard and dangerous, and that they must be highly paid for the
risks they take.
Another factor we must take into consideration is how socially useful a man’s work is,
regardless of the talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that looking after the sick or
teaching children is more important than, say, selling secondhand cars or improving the taste of
toothpaste by adding a red stripe to it. Yet it is almost certain that the used car salesman earns more
than the nurse, and that research chemist earns more than the school teacher.
Indeed, this whole question of just rewards can be turned on its head. You can argue that a
man who does a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his reward in
the form of a so-called “psychic wage”, and that it is the man with the boring, repetitive job who
needs more money to make up for the soul-destroying monotony of his work. It is significant that that
those jobs which are traditionally regarded as “vocations” - nursing, teaching and the Church, for
example - continue to be poorly paid, while others, such as those in the world of sport or
entertainment, carry financial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.
Although the amount of money that people earn is in reality largely determined by market
forces, this should not prevent us from seeking some way to decide what is the right pay for the job. A

starting point for such an investigation would be to try to decide the ratio which ought to exist
between the highest and the lowest paid. The picture is made more complicate by two factors: firstly
by the “social wage”, i.e, the welfare benefits which every citizen receives; and secondly, by the
taxation system, which is often used as an instrument of social justice by taxing high incomes at a
very high rate indeed. Allowing for these two things, most countries now regard a ratio of 7:1 as
socially acceptable. If it is less, the highly-qualified people carrying heavy responsibilities become
disillusioned, and might even end up by emigration (the so-called “brain-drain” is an evidence that
this can happen). If it is more, the gap between rich and poor will be so great that it will lead social
tensions and ultimately to violence.

A. he has spent several years learning how to do his job

A. we should pay for socially-useful work, regardless of the person’s talent
B. we should pay people according to their talents

Question 28: The argument of the “psychic wage” is used to explain why__________.
A. people who do socially important work are not always well paid
B. people who do monotonous jobs are highly paid
C. you should not try to compare the pay of different professions
D. some professional people are paid more than others

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.
[1]
Widespread evidence links global warming to a series of environmental effects.
[2]
Starving polar bears are eating one another in the Arctic. Flowers are blooming too soon and die.
The ice caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along Florida
within several decades. These are just a few examples of the terrible consequences of climate change
discovered by a new research in Nature that paints a dark portrait of what a warming world will
look like in the years to come.
[3]
The researchers analyzed 829 abnormal phenomena - including melting glaciers - along with
nearly 30,000 changes in plants and animals and found that about 90% of them are in sync with
scientists’ predictions about how global warming will change the planet.
[4]
“In the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 0.6 0C and are projected
to jump by about 1.70C by the end of the century,” says Cynthia Rosenzweig, who leads the Climate
Impacts Group at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University in New York.
“We’ve already seen that a relatively low amount of warming,” she says, “can result in a broad range
of changes.”
[5]

The unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide
produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North America
alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly, which have flowered
earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in response to the higher
temperatures. Other wildlife, like the insects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed
on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings and mating patterns to survive.
[6]
To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter’s thaw, are
returning to Colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past. All these
changes can throw a food chain in disorder. Some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear
may starve to death.
[7]
“Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to,”
says Terry Root, a biologist from Stanford University.
