Trang 6Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question
A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly
self-sufficient group that is homogeneous 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 interpersonal relationships are strong
Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ batman 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 States and Canada Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo
-America is the Amish, a German -American farming sect that largely renounce
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 faithful are not permitted to own automobiles The Amish's central religious concept of Demut, “humility" clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typycal of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect The religion, a variety of me Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly , individualistic and constantly 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 as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money
-based economy prevails Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewedas
clearly different from "folk"

or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner

Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question
FINDING THE CAREER THAT FITS YOUR PERSONALITY
If you've finished your exams and have absolutely no idea what to do next, you're not alone.' says Sheridan Hughes, an occupational psychologist at Career Analysts, a career counseling service 'At 18, it can be very difficult to know what you want to do because you don't really know what you're interested in.’ Careers guidance, adds Alexis Hallam, one of her colleagues, is generally poor and 'people can end up in the wrong job and stay there for years because they're good at something without actually enjoying it.’
To discover what people are good at, and more fundamentally, what they will enjoy doing Career Analysts give their clients a battery of personality profile questionnaires and psychometric tests An in-depth interview follows, in which the test results are discussed and different career paths and options are explored with the aid of an occupational psychologist Career Analysts offers guidance to everyone, from teenagers to retirees looking for a new focus in life The service sounded just what I needed Dividing my time as I do between teaching and freelance journalism, I definitely need advice about consolidating
my career
Being too ancient for Career Analysts' student career option guidance and not, unfortunately, at the executive level yet, I opted for the career management package This is aimed at people who are established in their jobs and who either want a change or some advice about planning the next step in their careers
Having filled in a multitude of personality indicator questionnaires at home I then spent a rather grueling morning being aptitude-tested at Career Analysts’ offices The tests consisted of logical reasoning followed by verbal, mechanical and aptitude papers Logical reasoning required me to pick out the next shape in
a sequence of triangles, squares and oblongs I tried my best but knew that it was
really a lost cause I fared rather better when it came to verbal aptitude - finding
the odd one out in a series of words couldn't be simpler My complacency was short-lived, however, when I was confronted with images of levers and
Trang 9pulleys for the mechanical aptitude papers My mind went blank I had no idea what would happen to wheel X when string Y was pulled
At home, filling in questionnaires, I had been asked to give my instinctive reaction (not an over – considered one) to statements like: ‘It bothers me if people think I’m being odd or unconventional', or ‘I like to do my planning alone without interruptions from others.’ I was asked to agree or disagree on a scale of one to five with 'I often take on impossible odds', or 'It is impossible for
me to indicate how important I consider status to be in a job, and how important money and material benefits
The questions attempt to construct a picture of the complete individual Using aptitude tests alongside personality profiling, occupational psychologists will, the theory goes, be able to guide a client towards a rewarding, fulfilling career Some questions are as straightforward as indicating whether or not you would enjoy a particular job Designing aircraft runways?
Preparing legal documents? Playing a musical instrument? Every career going makes an appearance and, as I was shown later, the responses tend to form
a coherent pattern
Having completed my personality and aptitudes tests, I sat down with Sheridan Hughes, who asked me fairy searching personal and professional questions What do my parents and siblings do for a living? Why had I chosen to
do an English degree? ‘I need to get picture of you as a person and how you’ve come to be who you are, ‘I need to get a picture of you as a person and how you’ve come to be who you are,’ she explained ‘What we do works because it’s
a mixture of science and counseling We use objective psychometric measures to discover our clients’ natural strengths and abilities and then we talk to them about what they want from life.’
There were no real superises in my own test results, nor in the interview that followed it 'We're interested in patterns,'Mrs Hughes explained, 'and the pattern
or you is strongly verbal and communicative.' This was putting it rather kindly
ad come out as average on the verbal skills test and below average in logic, numerical, perceptual and mechanical reasoning My spatial visualization was so
bad it was almost off the scale 'A career in cartography, navigation, tiling or
architecture would not be playing to your strengths, she said delicately
Mrs Hughes encouraged me to expand the writing side of my career and gave me straightforward, practical suggestions as to how I could go about it 'Widen the scope of your articles' she said ‘You could an interest and psychological fields’ These latter, she said, would sit comfortably with a interest in human behavior indicated on my personality-profiling questionnaires
Trang 10She suggested that I consider writing e-learning content for on-line course avenue that would never have occurred to me
