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

On March 25, 1911, one of the five hundred employees of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York noticed that a rag bin near her eighth- floor work station was on fire Workers immediately tried to extinguish the flames Their efforts prove futile, as

piles of fabric IGNITED all over the eighth floor The manager of the factory ordered

his employees to unroll the fire extinguisher hose, but they found it rotted and useless

7

The shirt factory occupied the top three floors of the ten- story Asch Building The seventy employees who worked on the tenth floor escaped the fire by way of the

staircases or climbed onto the roof, where students from New York University, located across the street, stretched ladders over to the Asch Building

The 260 workers on the ninth floor had the worst luck of all Although the eighth- floor workers tried to warn them by telephone, the call did not reach them, and by the time they learned about the fire, their routes of escape were mostly blocked Some managed to climb down the cables of the freight elevator Others crammed into the

narrow stairway STILL OTHERS climbed onto the single, inadequately constructed

fire escape But that spindly structure could not support the weight of hundreds of people, and it separated from the wall, falling to the ground and carrying many people with it

To combat the disaster, the New York Fire Department sent thirty five pieces of

equipment, including a hook and ladder The young women trapped on the ninth- floor window ledge watched in horror as the ladder, fully raised, stopped far below them, reaching only as far as the sixth floor

Within minutes, the factory- a fire trap typical of the period’s working conditions- was consumed by flame, killing 146 workers, mostly immigrant women City officials set

up a temporary morgue on 26th Street, and over the next few days streams of survivors filed through the building to identify the dead

The Triangle Shirtwaist fire brought a public outcry for laws to regulate the safety of working conditions The New York Factory Investigating Commission was formed to examine the working conditions in factories throughout the state Their report

introduced many new regulations The fire had occurred during an era of progressive

reform that was BEGINNING TO SWEEP THE NATION, as people decided that

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

In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social

RITUALS Although they are important, these visible expressions of culture, which

are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only THE TIP OF THE

ICEBERG of culture Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside

awareness Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain

“invisible” aspects of their culture exist

Invisible elements of culture are important to us For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it

When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from THOSE

we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin

Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations

Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioural differences

as cultural rather than personal We tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences

Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces,

governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences

If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding For

example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing EXOTIC clothes,

speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would
