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.
Universally acclaimed as America’s greatest playwright, Eugene O’Neill was born in 1888
in the heart of the theater district in New York City. As the son of an actor he had early exposure to the
world of the theater. He attended Princeton University briefly in 1906, but returned to New York to
work in a variety of jobs before joining the crew of a freighter as a seaman. Upon returning from voyages
to South Africa and South America, he was hospitalized for six months to recuperate from
tuberculosis. While he was recovering, he determined to write a play about his adventures on the sea. He
went to Harvard, where he wrote the one-act Bound East for Cardiff. It was produced on Cape Cod by the
Provincetown Players, an experimental theater group that was later to settle in the famous Greenwich
Village theater district in New York City. The Players produced several more of his one-acts in the years
between 1916-1920. With the full- length play Beyond the Horizon, produced on Broadway in 1920,
O’Neill’s success was assured. The play won the Pulitzer prize for the best play of the year. O’Neill was
to be awarded the prize again in 1922, 1928, and 1957 for Anna Christie, Strange Interlude, and Long
Day’s Journey Into Night. Although he didn’t receive the Pulitzer prize for it, Mourning becomes
Electra, produced in 1931,is arguably his most lasting contribution to the American theatre. In 1936, he
was awarded the Nobel Prize.
O’Neill’s plays, forty-five in all, cover a wide range of dramatic subjects, but several themes
emerge, including the ambivalence of family relationships, the struggle between the sexes, the
conflict between spiritual and material desires, and the vision of modern man as a victim of
uncontrollable circumstances. Most of O’Neill’s characters are seeking for meaning in their lives.

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, intracratonic 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.

C. Continental structure and crust D. Scientific analyses of continental crusts

Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy varies greatly
between genders and cultures. It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men (1 in every 4
women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than men. Life
expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries. With the advent of such modern miracles as
sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased
by 25 – 30 years.
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/AIDS rate, life expectancy is as
low as 32,6 years. In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates as high as 81 years. There are
an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have. The one that we are
looking at now is how your career can affect your life expectancy. Choosing the wrong career can result in a
shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of money.
That’s right. Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than the people in
poorer areas. Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work its stress.
Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, tension
and aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in serious injuries at
work. They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously affect life expectancy.
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid
careers on “dangerous jobs” list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck drivers.
So if you don’t want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than
timber cutting, but above all, remember to relax.

Rent control is the system whereby the local government tells building owners how much they can
charge their tenants in rent. In the United States, rent controls date back to at least World War II. In 1943
the federal government imposed rent controls to help solve the problem of housing shortages during
wartime. The federal program ended after the war, but in some locations, including New York City, controls
continued. Under New York's controls, a landlord generally cannot raise rents on apartments as long as the
tenants continue to renew their leases. In places such as Santa Monica, California, rent controls are more
recent. They were spurred by the inflation of the 1970's, which, combined) with California's rapid
population growth, pushed housing prices, as well as rents, to record levels. In 1979 Santa Monica's
municipal government ordered landlords to roll back their rents to the levels charged in 1978. Future rents
could only go up by two-thirds as much as any increase in the overall price level.
In any housing market, rental prices perform three functions: (1) promoting the efficient
maintenance of existing housing and stimulating the construction of new housing, (2) allocating existing
scarce housing among competing claimants, and (3) rationing use of existing housing by potential renters.
One result of rent control is a decrease in the construction of new rental units. Rent controls have
artificially depressed the most important long-term determinant of profitability - rents. Consider some
examples. In a recent year in Dallas, Texas, with a 16 percent rental vacancy rate but no rent control laws,
11,000 new housing units were
built. In the same year, in San Francisco, California, only 2,000 units were built. The major difference? San
Francisco has only a 1.6 percent vacancy rate but stringent rent control laws. In New York City, except for

Universally acclaimed as America’s greatest playwright, Eugene O’Neill was born in 1888
in the heart of the theater district in New York City. As the son of an actor he had early exposure to the
world of the theater. He attended Princeton University briefly in 1906, but returned to New York to
work in a variety of jobs before joining the crew of a freighter as a seaman. Upon returning from voyages
to South Africa and South America, he was hospitalized for six months to recuperate from
tuberculosis. While he was recovering, he determined to write a play about his adventures on the sea. He
went to Harvard, where he wrote the one-act Bound East for Cardiff. It was produced on Cape Cod by the
Provincetown Players, an experimental theater group that was later to settle in the famous Greenwich
Village theater district in New York City. The Players produced several more of his one-acts in the years
between 1916-1920. With the full- length play Beyond the Horizon, produced on Broadway in 1920,
O’Neill’s success was assured. The play won the Pulitzer prize for the best play of the year. O’Neill was
to be awarded the prize again in 1922, 1928, and 1957 for Anna Christie, Strange Interlude, and Long
Day’s Journey Into Night. Although he didn’t receive the Pulitzer prize for it, Mourning becomes
Electra, produced in 1931,is arguably his most lasting contribution to the American theatre. In 1936, he
was awarded the Nobel Prize.
O’Neill’s plays, forty-five in all, cover a wide range of dramatic subjects, but several themes
emerge, including the ambivalence of family relationships, the struggle between the sexes, the
conflict between spiritual and material desires, and the vision of modern man as a victim of
uncontrollable circumstances. Most of O’Neill’s characters are seeking for meaning in their lives.

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, intracratonic 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.

Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy varies greatly
between genders and cultures. It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men (1 in every 4
women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than men. Life
expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries. With the advent of such modern miracles as
sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased
by 25 – 30 years.
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/AIDS rate, life expectancy is as
low as 32,6 years. In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates as high as 81 years. There are
an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have. The one that we are
looking at now is how your career can affect your life expectancy. Choosing the wrong career can result in a
shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of money.
That’s right. Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than the people in
poorer areas. Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work its stress.
Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, tension
and aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in serious injuries at
work. They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously affect life expectancy.
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid
careers on “dangerous jobs” list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck drivers.
So if you don’t want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than
timber cutting, but above all, remember to relax.

charge their tenants in rent. In the United States, rent controls date back to at least World War II. In 1943
the federal government imposed rent controls to help solve the problem of housing shortages during
wartime. The federal program ended after the war, but in some locations, including New York City, controls
continued. Under New York's controls, a landlord generally cannot raise rents on apartments as long as the
tenants continue to renew their leases. In places such as Santa Monica, California, rent controls are more
recent. They were spurred by the inflation of the 1970's, which, combined) with California's rapid
population growth, pushed housing prices, as well as rents, to record levels. In 1979 Santa Monica's
municipal government ordered landlords to roll back their rents to the levels charged in 1978. Future rents
could only go up by two-thirds as much as any increase in the overall price level.
In any housing market, rental prices perform three functions: (1) promoting the efficient
maintenance of existing housing and stimulating the construction of new housing, (2) allocating existing
scarce housing among competing claimants, and (3) rationing use of existing housing by potential renters.
One result of rent control is a decrease in the construction of new rental units. Rent controls have
artificially depressed the most important long-term determinant of profitability - rents. Consider some
examples. In a recent year in Dallas, Texas, with a 16 percent rental vacancy rate but no rent control laws,
11,000 new housing units were
built. In the same year, in San Francisco, California, only 2,000 units were built. The major difference? San
Francisco has only a 1.6 percent vacancy rate but stringent rent control laws. In New York City, except for
government-subsidized construction, the only rental units being built are luxury units, which are exempt
from controls. In Santa Monica, California, new apartments are not being constructed. New office rental
space and commercial developments are, however. They are exempt from rent controls.
