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 following questions.
A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households,
dispite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and
65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estinated their


share to be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or
not.
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that
housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work
outside the home wrer satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work – if their husbands
did remainder. Reseach has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become
unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for
men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man’s share
increases much less than the woman’s. It is the inequality and loss of repect, not the actual number of

hours, which leads to axiety and depression. The reseach describes housework as thankless and
unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up
and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their
professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the
children grow up. Distress for this group is cuased by losing the teamwork in the marriage.
In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also became
depressed by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed people are those who
have equal share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from this.
The research concludes “ Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for women keeping
house, a share division of labor is important. If you decide to stay at home to raise the children, you don’t
want to become the servant of the house”
(Adapted from LouisHarrision & Caroline Cushen, 2013)

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 following questions.


Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that
is included in one’s possessions. Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with
intangible forms of property. Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for
example, books, magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs,
music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property.
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the
ownership of the creator. When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as a

tangible object. However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went
into creating the articles. The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to
the authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright. To copy an entire
book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to
be paid.
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property. Music may be played by
anyone after it is published. However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee, called
a royalty. A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays. On the other hand, names,
ideas, and book titles are excepted. Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a
book, a painting or a musical work. Almost all artistic work created before the 20 th century is not
copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed.
The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarizing the
work of another person means passing it off as one’s own. The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin
plagiarus, which means “abductor”. Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint
effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties
to the creator. Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion
picture on videotape, a computer program, or a book. Video cassette recorders can be used by practically
anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software has become almost as easy as
copying a book. Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and
brand names, protected by a trademark.
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Legal ownership of creative work
B. Examples of copyright piracy
C. Legal rights of property owners
D. Copying creating work for profit
Question 44: The word “extended” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______
A. guaranteed
B. explicated
C. exposed
D. granted

Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that copyright law is intended to protect
A. computer software and videos from being copied
B. paintings and photographs from theft
C. the user’s ability to enjoy an artistic work
D. the creator’s ability to profit from the work
Question 46: The word “principle” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______
A. cardinal role
B. formidable force
C. crucial point D. fundamental rule
Question 47: Which of the following properties is NOT mentioned as protected by copyright?
A. paintings and maps
B. printed medium
C. scientific discoveries
D. music and plays
Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that it is legal if _______
A. two drawings, created by two different artists, have the same images
B. two books, written by two different authors, have the same titles


C. two songs, written by two different composers, have the same melody
D. two plays, created by two different playwrights, have the same plot and characters
Question 49: The phrase “infringing upon” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______
A. abhorring
B. impinging upon
C. inducting for
D. violating
Question 50: The purpose of copyright law is most comparable with the purpose of which of the
following?
A. A law against smoking
B. A law against theft

C. A household rule

________ The end_________
