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 36 to 42.
If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a particular
form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depend primarily on such physical conditions
as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflect social factors such as religious beliefs,
aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or to emulate our fellows.
The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical reason such
as protecting ourselves from the weather elements. Ethnologists and psychologists have invoked psychological
reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to please for the moderns.
In
early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps through some
magical
significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other creatures. Ornaments identified the wearer
with
animals, gods, heroes or other men. This identification remains symbolic in more sophisticated societies. We
should
bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all period children at play
have
worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult life.
Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority. For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes expressing
his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was superhuman. In
more
recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to distinguish the wearer and express
personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in the judge’s robes and the police officer’s
uniform.
Costume denotes power, and since power is usually equated with wealth, costume came to be an expression of
social caste and material prosperity. Military uniform denotes rank and is intended to intimidate, to protect the
body and to express membership in a group. At the bottom of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as
the
convict’s uniform. Finally, costume can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an
actual
or symbolic identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the
wearer’s
position of respect.
Question 36. Psychological reasons for wearing garments include _______.
A. protection from cold B. availability of materials

A.physical protection B. religious significance
C. social function D. beauty and attractiveness

A. To describe the uses of costume
B. To contrast costume with the clothing
C. To trade the origins of costume
D. To point out that clothing developed before costume

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 43 to 50.
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a
substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank
among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer
greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a
varying
interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to
develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different
ways.
Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking
arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood,
wheat,
nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed
to
an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to be protective.
Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium
nitrate.
Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken
livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people
have
been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children
who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in
salicylates
from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular
by
Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book “Why your Child is Hyperactive”. Other researchers have had
mixed
results when testing whether the diet is effective.
