 ❖ Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the past decades, there has been a
remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at
the middle of the 20th century would probably have been in her early twenties, and would be likely to have
seven or eight children, several of whom lived till they were only five years old. By the time the youngest was
fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during
which customs, opportunities and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women have fewer
children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live
another thirty-five years, and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care
of children, her world is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s
economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took
a full-time job. However, when they got married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today
the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry
younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before the first child is born. Very many more
afterwards return to full- or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage: with the
husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and
wife sharing equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of
each of them.

 ❖ Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Along with the rapid growth of the national economy and increased living standards, the use of disposables
and over-packaged products has become common, which causes a waste of resources, and brings about a
negative impact on the environment. Many countries have started to act to control the use of disposables and
over-packaged, products.
In 1994, the Ministry of Environment in Korea has put restrictions on packaging methods. Korea's legal
regulations require businesses to restrict their use of disposable products by reducing unnecessary packaging
materials or not giving them out to customers for free. The use of materials are difficult to recycle is also
prohibited.
Thanks to development of technology, biodegradable materials were invented to produce packaging products.
They are able to decay naturally by bacteria. Therefore, biodegradable packaging helps to limit the amount of
harmful chemicals released into the environment. In 2008, biodegradable bags were put in use in most of the
supermarkets in Korea. Paper cups and paper bags are also given to shoppers for free, but in a limited use.
The ministry also established the detailed Guidelines on the Restrictions of Use of Disposable Products in
order to ensure that local governments could conduct systematic checks and inspections of businesses, and
implemented reductions on over-packaged products during national holidays, and school admission and
graduation seasons.
