Part 2: The passage below contains 5 mistakes Underline the mistakes and write the corrections in the corresponding numbered boxes (5pts)

Though some of the clothes of the 1950s were childish, or at least

youth, they were usually the clothes of good, well-behaved,

conventional teenagers, suitable for a society that was

well-behaved and conventional, if not particularly good Then, in the

early 1960s, a new wave of romantic enthusiasm and innovation

political, spiritual and cultural, or rather countercultural - broke

over the Western world At first, only a few social and aesthetic

radical were involved in what presently came to be called the

Youth Culture The majority of right-thinking persons were

offended or bored by the new music, the new art and the new

politics, but a shrewd student of fashion, observing what was

being worn in the streets of Europe and America, might have

predicted that in a few years youth would be adored and emulated

everywhere; that, indeed, simply to be under 30 would be

accounted a virtue

Cynical social critics have suggested that this worship of the

young was homage shown to economic clout By the mid-1960s,

half of the population of the United States was under 25, and a

third of the population of France was under 20 Since times were

prosperous, these young people had a lot of disposable income

And in a commercially sophisticated society, the tastes, habits,

more and appearance of such people tend to be celebrated and

encouraged Many social commentators announced that the

golden age of youth had arrived in the 1960s

Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover

The magical world of (0) LITERATE _was first revealed to me when I was still young enough to be held (1- COMFORT) _ on my father’s lap To my (2- IMPRESS) _young mind, my father’s reading aloud to me could only be bettered by the process of preparation which immediately preceded it Choosing the book, holding it (3-CARESS) _in one’s hands, admiring the jacket, and, finally, opening it to the first page to begin, seemed to me akin to following the rites of some sort of (4-CEREMONY) _occasion

  Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops

by skilled artisans As master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades

to apprentices and journeymen In addition, women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists After

1815 this older form of manufacturing began to give way to factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers Cheap transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production

The creation of a labor force that was accustomed to working in factories did not occur easily Before the rise of the factory, artisans had worked within the home

Apprentices were considered part of the family, and masters were responsible not only for teaching their apprentices a trade but also for providing them some education and for supervising their moral behavior Journeymen knew that if they perfected their skill,

they could become respected master artisans with their own shops Also, skilled artisans did not work by the clock, at a steady pace, but rather in bursts of intense labor alternating with more leisurely time

The factory changed that Goods produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by hand, and pride in craftsmanship gave way to the pressure to increase rates of productivity The new methods of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of time Factory life necessitated a more regimented schedule, where work began at the sound of a bell and workers kept machines going at a constant pace At the same time, workers were required to discard old habits, for industrialism demanded a

worker who was alert, dependable, and self-disciplined Absenteeism and lateness hurt productivity and, since work was specialized, disrupted the regular factory routine.

Industrialization not only produced a fundamental change in the way work was organized; it transformed the very nature of work

The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules One mill worker who finally quit complained revealingly about "obedience to the ding-dong of the bell— just as though we are so many living machines." With the loss of personal freedom also came the loss of standing in the community Unlike artisan workshops in which apprentices worked closely with the masters supervising them, factories sharply separated workers from management Few workers rose through the ranks to supervisory positions, and even fewer could achieve the artisan's dream of setting up one's own business Even well-paid workers sensed their decline in status

In this newly emerging economic order, workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and traditional ways of life Craftworkers such as carpenters, printers, and tailors formed unions, and in 1834 individual unions came together in the National

Trades' Union The labor movement gathered some momentum in the decade before the Panic of 1837, but in the depression that followed, labor's strength collapsed During

hard times, few workers were willing to strike or engage in collective action And skilled

craftworkers, who spearheaded the union movement, did not feel a particularly strong

bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers More than a decade of agitation did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to most industries by the 1850's, and the courts also recognized workers' right to strike, but these gains had little immediate impact

Workers were united in resenting the industrial system and their loss of status, but they were divided by ethnic and racial antagonisms, gender, conflicting religious perspectives, occupational differences, political party loyalties, and disagreements over

tactics For them, the factory and industrialism were not agents of opportunity but

reminders of their loss of independence and a measure of control over their lives As United States society became more specialized and differentiated, greater extremes of wealth began to appear And as the new markets created fortunes for the few, the factory system lowered the wages of workers by dividing labor into smaller, less skilled tasks
