we know that this picture of the past (32) cannot be true, and there are plenty of statistics dealing with health and prosperity which prove that it is not true, why is it that we all have a (33) - to idealize the past ?

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 questions.
Etymologically, anthropology is the science of humans In fact, however, it is only one of the sciences of humans, bringing together those disciplines the common aims of which are to describe human beings and explain them on the basis of the biological and cultural characteristics of the populations among which they are distributed and to emphasize, through time, the differences and variations of these populations The concept of race, on the one hand, and that of culture, on the other, have received special attention; and although their meaning is still subject to debate, these terms are doubtless the most common of those in the anthropologist's vocabulary
Anthropology, which is concerned with the study of human differences, was born after the Age of Discovery had opened
up societies that had remained outside the technological civilization of the modern West In fact, the field of research was at first restricted to those societies that had been given one unsatisfactory label after another, "savage," "primitive," "tribal," "traditional,"
or even "preliterate," "prehistorical," and so on What such societies had in common, above all, was being the most "different" or the most foreign to the anthropologist; and in the early phases of anthropology, the anthropologists were always European or North American The distance between the researcher and the object of his study has been a characteristic of anthropological research; it has been said of the anthropologist that he was the "astronomer of the sciences of man."
Anthropologists today study more than just primitive societies Their research extends not only to village communities
within modern societies but also to cities, even to industrial enterprises Nevertheless, anthropology's first field of research,
and the one that perhaps remains the most important, shaped its specific point of view with regard to the other sciences of man and defined its theme If, in particular, it is concerned with generalizing about patterns of human behavior seen in all their dimensions and with achieving a total description of social and cultural phenomena, this is because anthropology has observed small-scale societies, which are simpler or at least more homogeneous than modern societies and which change at a slower pace Thus they are easier to see whole
What has just been said refers especially to the branch of anthropology concerned with the cultural characteristics of man? Anthropology has, in fact, gradually divided itself into two major spheres, the study of man's biological characteristics and the study of his cultural characteristics The reasons for this split are manifold, one being the rejection of the initial mistakes regarding correlations between race and culture More generally speaking, the vast field of 19th century anthropology was subdivided into a series of increasingly specialized disciplines, using their own methods and techniques, that were given different labels according to national traditions
Question 46: According to the passage, anthropology is most likely defined as the study of
A one of the sciences of humans B the biological and cultural characteristics of human beings
C the lives of peoples all over the world D the distribution of human beings the world over

A large societies B modern groups C racial minorities D civilized societies
Question 49: It can be inferred from the passage that anthropology was first developed in _.
A Europe and North America B some primitive societies C some tribal societies D some prehistoric societies
Question 50: Anthropologists of the early phases were regarded as the "astronomers of the sciences of man" because .
A they also studied the sun, moon, stars, planets, etc B they also studied our planets as the sciences of man
C they did not belong to the societies into which they did research D they applied the sciences of man to astronomy
Question 51: According to the passage, modern anthropologists study _.
A only primitive and tribal societies B both communities and modern societies
C only modern industrial enterprises D both primitive and modern societies
Question 52: The phrase "first field of research" in paragraph 3 most likely refers to the study of .

Trang 4Question 53: Small societies are preferable to anthropological research because they are .
A simple, homogeneous, and change slowly B small, isolated, and easy to study
C ancient, exotic, and interesting D similar to primitive societies
Question 54: It is mentioned in the passage that the split of anthropology into two major areas is partly due to .
A more knowledge to be gained B the development of the sciences of humans
C the interpretation of race and culture D the development of modern anthropology
Question 55: It is mentioned in the passage that anthropology began to divide into various disciplines in _.
A prehistoric times B the Age of Discovery C the 20th century D the 19th century

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 questions
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a
social group in the United States In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there
is no formal process of selection In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to
produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders.” It seems that there is no set of personal
qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group
Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group Group members look into instrumental leaders to “get things
”done.” Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social
group’s member Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional
support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them Group members expect
expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members They give orders and
may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal
or primary relationship to others in the group They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is
subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to
divide the group As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a most distant respect

B A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership
C Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications
D A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another group
