During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions

of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States Lacking the right to vote and absence from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force

in history Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis

Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams

penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States But little or no notice was taken of these contributions During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books

Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur

historians Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and

use of sources

During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged National, regional, and local women’s

organizations compiled accounts of their doings Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored These sources came from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States - one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at

Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians

Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most

of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of history, just as much of

mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.” To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were

not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman The lives of ordinary people continued,

generally, to be untold in the American histories being published

D only three women were able to get their writing published

Question 54 The word “celebratory” in line 11 means that the writings referred to were…

centuries…

A women had right to vote and could take seats of power

B women’s contribution to the society was not highly appreciated

C women had a great influence on the politics, literature and history

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business ……(61)…… , involves the utilization

of a decision worksheet Psychologists ……(62)…… optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions ……(63)…… there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects

Worksheets require defining the problem ……(64)…… a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each

decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence ……(65)……

Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages One of the benefits of a pencil and paper ……(66)……

X 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 from 71 to 80.

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 to 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 leader

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 mote distant respect

Question 71 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A How leadership differs in small and large groups B The role of leaders in social groups

C The problems faced by leaders D How social groups determine who will lead them

Question 72 The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders

EXCEPT…

A recruitment B specific leadership training

C traditional cultural patterns D formal election process

Question 73 In mentioning “natural leaders” in line 7, the author is making the point that……

A “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics

B few people qualify as “natural leaders”

C there is no proof that “natural leaders” exist

D “natural leaders’ are easily accepted by the members of a social group

Question 74 Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?

A A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership

B Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications

C A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another group

D Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person

Question 75 The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on……….

A sharing responsibility with group members B achieving a goal

C ensuring harmonious relationships D identifying new leaders

Question76 The word “collective” in line 14 is closest in meaning to….

A necessary B group C particular D typical

Question 77 It can be understood that…

A There is lots of tension and conflict in an election of a leader in the family

B There is usually an election to choose leaders in a family as well as in larger groups

C It has been said that there must be a set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common

D Leaders are sometimes chosen formally or informally

Question 78 A “secondary relationship” mentioned in line 18 between a leader and the members of

a group could best be characterized as……

A unreliable B personal C distant D enthusiastic

Question 79 The word “resolve” in line 22 is closest in meaning to……

A talk about B find a solution for C avoid repeating D avoid thinking about

Question 80 Paragraphs 3 and 4 organize the discussion of leadership primarily in term of……

A examples that illustrate a problem B narration of events

C comparison and contrast D cause and effect analysis
