3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use
one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more
than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professional worried. Some
doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile
phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried
about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile
phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment.
In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't
remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his
mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family
doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can
detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some
radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues,
it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often.

A. Technological Innovations and Their Price

4. Read the following passage and choose among A, B, C or D the correct answer to each of the questions.
The custom of paying a bride price before marriage is still a well-established part of many African
cultures. In paying a bride price, the family of the groom must provide payment to the family of the bride
before the marriage is allowed. The bride price can vary greatly from culture to culture in Africa. In the Zulu
and Swazi tribes of southern Africa, the bride price often takes the form of cattle. In Western African kola
nuts, shells, and other goods are often used for the payment of the bride price. The actual payment of money
sometimes takes place, but the payment of goods is more frequent. The amount of paid in a bride price can
also vary. In modern times, the bride price is occasionally quite small and its value is mainly symbolic.
However, the bride price can still be quite high, especially among prominent or highly traditional families.
There are a number of justifications used to explain the payment of bride price. The first is that the
bride price represents an acknowledgement of the expense the bride's family has gone in order to raise her and
bring her up as a suitable bride for the groom. It also represents payment for the loss of a family member,
since the bride will officially become a member of her husband's family and will leave her own. On a deeper
level the bride price represents payment for the fact that the bride will bring children into the family of the
groom, thereby increasing the wealth of the family. This concept is reinforced by the fact that the bride price
must often be returned if the bride fails to bear children.
The payment of the bride price has quite a number of effects on African society. First, the payment of
bride price acts to increase the stability of African family structures. Sons are dependent on their fathers and
older relatives to help them pay the bride price of their wives, and this generally leads to greater levels of
obedience and respect. The negotiations between the two families concerning the bride price allow the parents
and other family members to meet and get to know one another before the marriage. Finally, since the bride
price must often be repaid in case of divorce, the bride's family often works to make sure that any marital
problems are solved quickly. Bride prices also work as a system of wealth distribution in African cultures,
Wealthier families can afford to support the marriage of their son, and thus their wealth is transferred to other families.
1. According to paragraph 1, all of the following are true of the bride price EXCEPT ____.
A its amount and form can vary
B. its practice is occasionally only symbolic
C. it is a relatively new practice in Africa
D. it is generally higher among traditional families
2. The word "prominent" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____. A. educated B. important C. religious D. conservative
3. It can be inferred from the paragraph 2 that African families ____.
A. never see their daughters after marriage
B. pay the bride price on the day of the wedding
C. place more value on men than women
D. place great importance on childbirth
4. The author uses the word "marital" to indicate that the problems are related to ____. A. money B. law C. marriage D. pregnancy
5. Why are women often married to older men?
A. Young men lack the financial to marry.
B. The legal age for marriage is lower for women than for men.
C. Families are eager to gain the bride price from their daughter's marriage.
D. Women live longer than men on average. THE END
