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

Although management principles have been implemented since ancient times, most management scholars trace the beginning of modern management thought back to the early 1900s, beginning with the pioneering work of Frederick Taylor (1856-1915) Taylor was the first person to study work scientifically He is most famous for introducing techniques of time and motion study, differential piece rate systems, and for systematically specializing the work of operating employees and managers Along with other pioneers such

as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage, labeling his philosophy and methods “scientific

management’ At that time, his philosophy, which was concerned with productivity, but which was often

misinterpreted as promoting worker interests at the expense of management, was in marked contrast to the

prevailing industrial norms of worker exploitation

The time and motion study concepts were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth The Gilbreths had

12 children By analyzing his children’s dishwashing and bed making chores, this pioneer efficiency expert, Frank Gilbreth, hit on principles whereby workers could eliminate waste motion He was memorialized by two of his children in their 1949 book called “Cheaper by the Dozen”

The Gilbreth methods included using stop watches to time worker movements and special tools (cameras and special clocks) to monitor and study worker performance, and also involved identification of

“therbligs” (Gilbreth spelled backwards) - basic motions used in production jobs Many of these motions and accompanying times have been used to determine how long it should take a skilled worker to perform a given job In this way an industrial engineer can get a handle on the approximate time it should take to produce a product or provide a service However, use of work analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to

useful results unless all five work dimensions are considered: physical, psychological, social, cultural, and

power

Question 20.What is the passage primarily about?

A The limitations of pioneering studies in understanding human behavior

B How time and motion studies were first developed

C The first applications of a scientific approach to understanding human behavior

A workers welcomed the application of scientific management

B Talor’s philosophy is different from the industrial norms

C by the early 1900s science had reached a stage where it could be applied to the workplace

D workers were no longer exploited after the introduction of scientific management

Question 23.The word “prevailing” is closest in meaning to

A predominant B broadly accepted C prevalent D common

Question 24.According to the passage, Frank Gilbreth discovered how workers could eliminate waste motion by

A using special tools such as cameras and clocks

B using stop watches

C applying scientific management principles

D watching his children do their chores

Question 25.According to the passage, the time it takes a skilled worker to perform the motion of a given job can be measured by using

A stop watches B all five work dimensions

Question 26.The word “motions” is closest in meaning to

A stop watches B habits C actions D special tools

Question 27.Where in the passage does the author comment that the principles of scientific management were often misunderstood?

A Lines 1-5 B Lines 6-10 C Lines 11-15 D Lines 16-20

Question 29.All of the following are true except

A Scientific management was concerned with productivity

B the beginnings of modern management thought commenced in the 19th century

C Frank Gilbreth’s fame was enhanced by two of his children writing a book

D Analyzing work to increase productivity is not likely to be useful unless all of the dimensions are considered

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

In most of the earliest books for children, illustrations were an afterthought But in the Caldecott

“toy books”, which first appeared in 1878, they were almost as important as the lines of text, and

occupied far more space in the book One can almost read the story from the dramatic action in the pictures

Since then, thousands of successful picture books have been published in the United States and around

the world In the best, the words and illustrations seem to complement each other perfectly Often a

single person is responsible for both writing and illustrating the book One of the greatest, and certainly one

of the most successful, illustrator-authors was Dr Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Geisel His first

children’s book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of

children’s literature was changed forever Seuss’s playful drawings were a perfect complement to his

engaging stories and unforgettable characters In 1957, Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat became the first book in

Random House’s best -selling series, Beginner Books, written by Seuss and several other authors These combine outrageous illustrations of people, creatures, and plants, and playful stories written in very simple language

Dr Seuss is not the only well-known author-illustrator, of course There is Max Sendak, who wrote and

illustrated Where the Wild Things Are, the story of a little boy named Max, who becomes king of the fierce ( but funny) creatures that live in the Land of the Wilds Things Robert McCloskey produced both the richly textured illustrations and delightful story of a family of ducks living in downtown Boston, Make Ways for Ducklings Some books are produced by a collaborative author artist team Author Margaret Wise

Brown combined with illustrator Clement Hurd to produce two delightful books loved by very young

children, Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny Another example is the husband-and-wife team of

writer Audrey Wood and illustrator Don Wood, who were responsible for King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub and The Napping House

Wordless and nearly wordless picture books have become popular With a little help, threeand four-year-olds can follow the sequence of events, and they can understand the stories suggested in them The marvel of books with few or no words is that they allow children and their parents the opportunity to tell and retell the same stories over and over in their own words One of the most charming examples of a wordless book is Jan Omerod’sSunshine Barbara Berger’s Grandfather Twilight and David Weisner’s Tuesday are examples of books containing only a few words

works have brought their different visions to American children’s books Among them are Leo Lionni from Italy, Feodor Rojankovsky from Russia, and Taro Yashimi from Japan
