correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
In 1900 the United States had only three cities with more than a million residents-New York,
Chicago, and Philadelphia. By 1930, it had ten giant metropolises. The newer ones experienced
remarkable growth, which reflected basic changes in the economy. The population of Los Angeles
(114,000 in 1900) rose spectacularly in the early decades of the twentieth century, increasing a dramatic
1,400 percent from 1900 to 1930.
A number of circumstances contributed to the meteoric rise of Los Angeles. The agricultural
potential of the area was enormous if water for irrigation could be found, and the city founders had the
vision and dating to obtain it by constructing a 225-mile aqueduct, completed in 1913, to tap the water of
the Owens River. The city had a superb natural harbor, as well as excellent rail connections. The climate
made it possible to shoot motion pictures year-round; hence Hollywood not only supplied jobs but also
disseminated an image of the good life in Southern California on screens all across the nation. The most
important single industry powering the growth of Los Angeles, however, was directly linked to the
automobile. The demand for petroleum to fuel gasoline engines led to the opening of the Southern
California oil fields, and made Los Angeles North America’s greatest refining center.
Los Angeles was a product of the auto age in another sense as well: its distinctive spatial
organization depended on widespread private ownership of automobiles. Los Angeles was a decentralized
metropolis, sprawling across the desert landscape over an area of400 square miles.
It was a city without a real center. The downtown business district did not grow apace with the city
as a whole, and the rapid transit system designed to link the center with outlying areas withered away
from disuse. Approximately 800,000 cars were registered in Los Angeles County in 1930, one per 2.7
residents. Some visitors from the east coast were dismayed at the endless urban sprawl and dismissed Los
Angeles as a mere collection of suburbs in search of a city. But the freedom and mobility of a city built on
wheels attracted floods of migrants to the city.

A. The growth of cities in the United States in the early 1900s

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 35 to 42.
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become
recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the tamily, traditional cultural patterns
confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more
persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger
groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ubility, decades ot research
have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category ot “natural leaders”. It seems that
there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be
recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs ot that particular group.
Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research
suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals.
Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group.
Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things” done.” Expressive leadership, on the
other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social group’s member.
Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional
support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members

Trang 4/20

Trang 112
expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to
individual members.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members.
They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals.
Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer
sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a
serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the differences
in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group
members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant
respect.
