SECTION III: READING (6.0 POINTS)
Part 1. Questions 46–55 (3 points - 0.3/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D for each question.
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a
career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time
and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and
rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences
virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by
assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and
surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do
you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right
or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require,
which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to
you.The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If
not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, and real estate agent – that involve a
great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some
fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the
other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of
the country. If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such
as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with
your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or
negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber
does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits
that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers
can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you get mature, you will likely to
develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.

Part 2: Questions 56–65 (3 points - 0.3/ each)
Read the text below and answer the questions that follow.
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF GAINING KNOWLEDGE? A Page 6 of 12
‘I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any subject' That was the founders
motto for Cornell University, and it seems an apt characterization of the different university, also in the
USA, where I currently teach philosophy. A student can prepare for a career in resort management,
engineering, interior design, accounting, music, law enforcement, you name it. But what would the founders
of these two institutions have thought of a course called ‘Arson for Profit’? I kid you not, we have it on the
books. Any undergraduates who have met the academic requirements can sign up for the course in our program in 'fire science’. B
Naturally, the course is intended for prospective arson investigators, who can learn all the tricks of the trade
for detecting whether a fire was deliberately set, discovering who did it, and establishing a chain of
evidence for effective prosecution in a court of law. But wouldn’t this also be the perfect course for
prospective arsonists to sign up for? My point is not to criticize academic programs in fire science: they are
highly welcome as part of the increasing professionalization of this and many other occupations. However,
it’s not unknown for a firefighter to torch a building. This example suggests how dishonest and illegal
behavior, with the help of higher education, can creep into every aspect of public and business life. C
I realized this anew when I was invited to speak before a class in marketing, which is another of our degree
programs. The regular instructor is a colleague who appreciates the kind of ethical perspective I can bring
as a philosopher. There are endless ways I could have approached this assignment, but I took my cue from
the title of the course: 'Principles of Marketing’. It made me think to ask the students, 'Is marketing
principled?’ After all, a subject matter can have principles in the sense of being codified, having rules, as
with football or chess, without being principled in the sense of being ethical. Many of the students
immediately assumed that the answer to my question about marketing principles was obvious: No. Just look
at the ways in which everything under the sun has been marketed; obviously it need not be done in a principled (=ethical) fashion. D
Is that obvious? I made the suggestion, which may sound downright crazy in light of the evidence, that
perhaps marketing is by definition principled. My inspiration for this judgment is the philosopher Immanuel
Kant, who argued that any body of knowledge consists of an end (or purpose) and a means. E
Let us apply both the terms 'means' and ‘end' to marketing. The students have signed up for a course in
order to learn how to market effectively. But to what end? There seem to be two main attitudes toward that
question. One is that the answer is obvious: the purpose of marketing is to sell things and to make money.
The other attitude is that the purpose of marketing is irrelevant: Each person comes to the program and
course with his or her own plans, and these need not even concern the acquisition of marketing expertise as
such. My proposal, which I believe would also be Kant's, is that neither of these attitudes captures the
significance of the end to the means for marketing. A field of knowledge or a professional endeavor is
defined by both the means and the end; hence both deserve scrutiny. Students need to study both how to achieve X, and also what X is. F Page 7 of 12
It is at this point that ‘Arson for Profit’ becomes supremely relevant. That course is presumably all about
means: how to detect and prosecute criminal activity. It is therefore assumed that the end is good in an
ethical sense. When I ask fire science students to articulate the end, or purpose, of their field, they
eventually generalize to something like, ‘The safety and welfare of society,’ which seems right. As we have
seen, someone could use the very same knowledge of means to achieve a much less noble end, such as
personal profit via destructive, dangerous, reckless activity. But we would not call that firefighting. We
have a separate word for it: arson. Similarly, if you employed the ‘principles of marketing’ in an
unprincipled way, you would not be doing marketing. We have another term for it: fraud. Kant gives the
example of a doctor and a poisoner, who use the identical knowledge to achieve their divergent ends. We
would say that one is practicing medicine, the other, murder.
