Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments. Arriving
immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late
19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a
movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the
ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work
could find a job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the
programs - Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the

paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly
income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who
need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when
the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not
have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans
is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated
deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These
include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public
housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private
charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States,
especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do
volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.

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 44 to 50.
Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth. On the solid portions of the
planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elevated plateaus, and large mountain ranges. In
geography, the term “continent” refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise
about 29.2% of the planet’s surface. On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of
the term that deals with extensive mainlands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large
landmass. Although all continents are bounded by water bodies or high mountain ranges, isolated
mainlands, such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents. In some circles, the
distinction between continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of particular landmass.

The analysis of compression and tension in the earth’s crust has determined that continental structures are
composed of layers that underlie continental shelves. A great deal of disagreement among geologists
surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distinctive mineral

and chemical composition. It is also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on the top of unknown
continents that have not yet been explored. The continental crust is believed to have been formed by means
of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels
within the crust. Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations
by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical split occurred to form the
atmosphere, sea water, and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago.
Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that
include shields, mountain belts, intra-cratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and block-vaulted belts.
The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative
to the continent size. Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering and formation of the surface
features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities.
Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of
layers. They are typically produced during substantial crustal movements, which generate faulting and
mountain building. When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of
large mountain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory. This process also accounts for the
occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate
evolution.
