phone number while you dial it but if you can put the phone number into long-term memory,

you’ll remember that same phone number next week This part of your memory (34)

everything from irregular verbs to the names of all your cousins

When you study, you transfer new information into long-term memory Every time we learn

Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to

each of the questions

If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a particular form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depend primarily

on such physical conditions as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume

reflect social factors such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be

distinguished from or to emulate our fellows

The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some

physical reason such as protecting ourselves from the weather elements Ethnologists and

psychologists have invoked psychological reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to please for the moderns

In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps

through some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other

creatures Ornaments identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men This

identification remains symbolic in more sophisticated societies We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all period children at play have

worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult life

Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes expressing his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and

suggested he was superhuman In more recent times, professional or administrative costume

has been devised to distinguish the wearer and express personal or delegated authority; this

purpose is seen clearly in the judge’s robes and the police officer’s uniform

Costume denotes power, and since power is usually equated with wealth, costume came to be

an expression of social caste and material prosperity Military uniform denotes rank and is

intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a group At the bottom

of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the convict’s uniform Finally, costume

can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic

identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s position of respect
