A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that ishomogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals.Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonalrelationships are strong Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly There isrelatively little division of labor into specialized duties Rather, each person is expected to perform agreat variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes Most goods are handmade, and a

subsistence economy prevails Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social

classes Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United Statesand Canada Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German

American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial

age In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the faithfulare not permitted to own automobiles

The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness ofindividualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength ofAmish group identity Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect The religion, a variety of theMennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order

By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic andconstantly changing Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists,leading to the establishment of many specialized professions Secular institutions, of control such asthe police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-basedeconomy prevails Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from

“folk”

The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly

Folk-or cheaply produced, is easier Folk-or time saving to use, Folk-or lends mFolk-ore prestige to the owner

Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Two decades in modern society B The influence of industrial technology

C The characteristics of “folk” and “popular” societies

D The specialization of labor in Canada and the United States

Question 44: Which of the following is typical of folk cultures?

A There is a money-based economy B Social change occurs slowly

Trang 5

C Contact with other cultures is encouraged

D Each person develops one specialized skill

Question 45: What does the author imply about the United States and Canada?

A They value folk cultures B They have no social classes

C They have popular cultures D They do not value individualism

Question 46: The phrase “largely renounces” is closest in meaning to _

A generally rejects B greatly modifies C loudly declares D often criticizesQuestion 47: What is the main source of order in Amish society?

A The government B The economy C The clan structure D The religionQuestion 48: Which of the following statements about Amish beliefs does the passage support?

A A variety of religious practices is tolerated

B Individualism and competition are important

C Pre-modern technology is preferred

D People are defined according to their class.

Question 49: The word “prevails” is closest in meaning to _

Question 50: Which of following is NOT given as a reason why folk-made objects are replaced bymass-produced objects?
