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 following questions.
In the early 1800’s, over 80 percent of the United States labor force was engaged in agriculture. Sophisticated technology and machinery were virtually nonexistent. People who lived in the cities and were not directly involved in trade often participated in small cottage industries making handcrafted goods. Others cured meats, silversmiths, candle or otherwise produced needed goods and commodities. Blacksmiths, silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family.
Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the United States society than the rise of industrialization. Industrial growth hinged on several economic factors. First, industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, water, petroleum, and timber-all readily available on the North American continent. Second, factories demand a large labor supply. Between the 1870’s and the First World War (1914-1918), approximately 23 million immigrants streamed to the United States, settled in cities, and went to work in factories and mines. They also helped build the vast network of canals and railroads that crisscrossed the continent and linked important trade centers essential to industrial growth.
Factories also offered a reprieve from the backbreaking work and financial unpredictability associated with farming. Many adults, poor and disillusioned with farm life, were lured to the cities by promises of steady employment, regular paychecks, increased access to goods and services, and expanded social opportunities. Others were pushed there when new technologies made their labor cheap or expendable; inventions such as steel plows and mechanized harvesters allowed one farmhand to perform work that previously had required several, thus making farming capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive.
The United States economy underwent a massive transition and the nature of work was permanently altered. Whereas cottage industries relied on a few highly skilled craft workers who slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from start to finish, factories relied on specialization. While factory work was less creative and more monotonous, it was also more efficient and allowed mass production of goods at less expense.
Question 36: What aspect of life in the United States does the passage mainly discuss?
 A. The transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy
 B. The inventions that transformed life in the nineteenth century
 C. The problems associated with the earliest factories
 D. The difficulty of farm life in the nineteenth century
Question 37: Blacksmiths, silversmiths, and candle makers are mentioned in lines 5-6 as examples of artisans who ________.
 A. maintained their businesses at home C. produced unusual goods and commodities
 B. were eventually able to use sophisticated technology D. would employ only family members
Question 38: The phrase “hinged on” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
 A. recovered from
B. depended on
C. started on
D. contributed to
Question 39: Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the industrial growth that occurred in the United States before 1914?
 A. The availability of natural resources found only in the United States
 B. The decrease in number of farms resulting from technological advances
 C. The replacement of canals and railroads by other forms of transportation
 D. The availability of a large immigrant work force
Question 40: The word “Others” in paragraph 3 refers to other _______.
 A. adults
B. promises
C. goods and services
D. social opportunities
Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that industrialization affected farming in that industrialization _______.
 A. increased the price of farm products C. created new and interesting jobs on farms
 B. limited the need for new farm machinery D. reduced the number of people willing to do farm work
Question 42: What does the author mean when stating that certain inventions made farming “capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive”?
 A. Workers had to be trained to operate the new machines.
 B. Mechanized farming required more capital and fewer laborers.
 C. The new inventions were not helpful for all farming activities.
 D. Human labor could still accomplish as much work as the first machines.
Question 43: According to the passage, factory workers differed from craft workers in that factory workers ________.
 A. were required to be more creative C. changed jobs frequently
 B. worked extensively with raw materials D. specialized in one aspect of the finished product only
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 following questions.	 
	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 is diversity of 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 hostels, 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 mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choices you make today need not be your final one.
