Mark your choice on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points) Text 1 People used to be born at home and die at home. In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a beloved family member. Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are usually unwelcome and are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients —— even when those patients are their parents. It is important for next of kin and members of the helping professions to understand these patients' communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their predicament. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition, and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death. Two things seem to determine terminal illness. When patients were allowed hope at the beginning of a fatal illness and when they were informed that they would not be deserted “no matter what,” they were able to drop their initial shock and denial rather quickly and could arrive at a peaceful acceptance of their finiteness. Most patients respond to the awareness that they have a terminal illness with the statement, “Oh no, this can’t happen to me.” After the first shock, numbness, and need to deny the reality of the situation, the patient begins to send out cues that he is ready to “talk about it.” If we, at that point, need to deny the reality of the situation, the patient will often feel deserted, isolated, and lonely and unable to communicate with another human being what he needs so desperately to share. When, on the other hand, the patient has one person with whom he can talk freely, he will be able to talk about his illness and about the consequences of his deteriorating health, and he will be able to ask for help. Sometimes, he’ll need to talk about financial matters; and, toward the end of the life, he will frequently ask for some spiritual help. What we have to learn is that the stage of anger in terminal illness is a blessing, not a curse. These patients are not angry at their families or at the members of the helping professions. Rather, they are angry at what these people represent: health, pep, energy. 41. The elders of contemporary Americans used to [A] transfer their sick relatives to day-care institutions.

Text 3 People think what I do is so prestigious because I get to interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job. For the first couple of months, anyway Then I noticed how celebrities would fool me around for months, rescheduling our interv iews or completely backing out at the last minute. I could never get enough time with a celebr ity to find out any thing interesting, and ome acted just plain rude. I started getting resentful over the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had sort of worshipped from afar were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keep ing up their myths. If the celeb was a jerk, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, or pretentious, I did not hold back that information. I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Instead, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character, like the over-1, 000-letter attack of hate mail following my negative New Kids on the block article No talents become celebrities all the time The result is that no one in any walk of life seems to care about achievement or talent -- fame is the only objective. Everyone wants to be famous, because in our society you re not considered a success unless you are famous, no matter what your career. Even being famous for doing thing is more desirable than being truly creative and talented Why do we need celebrities? In effect, the media created celebr ities to satisfy our primitive need for gossip Over time, talking about people we have never met and are never likely to meet became an obsession. It's gotten to the point where some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than es of their family and friends.

And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job. For the first couple of months, anyway. Then I noticed how celebrities would fool me around for months, rescheduling our interviews or completely backing out at the last minute. I could never get enough time with a celebrity to find out anything interesting, and some acted just plain rude. I started getting resentful over the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had sort of worshipped from afar were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths. If the celeb was a jerk, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, or pretentious, I did not hold back that information. I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Instead, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character, like the over-1,000-letter attack of hate mail following my negative New Kids on the Block article. No talents become celebrities all the time. The result is that no one in any walk of life seems to care about achievement or talent —— fame is the only objective. Everyone wants to be famous, because in our society you are not considered a success unless you are famous, no matter what your career. Even being famous for doing nothing is more desirable than being truly creative and talented. Why do we need celebrities? In effect, the media created celebrities to satisfy our primitive need for gossip. Over time, talking about people we have never met and are never likely to meet became an obsession. It’s gotten to the point where some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their family and friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a celeb wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview —— like we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives. There is another reason we worship celebrities. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems like people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did.

It seems that some people as pointed out by the author are [A] obsessed with remarks on celebrities. [B] in the habit of poking fun at others. [C] caught in inevitable dilemmas. [D] out of step with modern lifestyles. 53. It is generally accepted that celebrities are [A] a mirror of true mass media. [B] mythical and artificial. [C] a bunch of good-for-nothings.

Text 4 Nineteen fifty-one wasn’t so long ago. You may even remember the events that unfolded in Topeka, Kans., that year. Ten-year-old Linda Brown, a student at the all-black Monroe School, wished to enroll at the Summer Elementary School, an all-white school across the street from her house. The resulting conflict led to Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 Supreme Court ruling that ended school segregation in the United States. It was a historic episode —— and so, six years ago, the National Park service named the Monroe School a National Historic Site, in hopes that it might inspire future generations. Today, however, the Monroe School is anything but inspiring. It lies gutted and empty utterly unfit for visitors. And it’s not alone. “Literally thousands” of publicly and privately held historic sites and artifacts across the country will require significant attention if they’re to last any distance into the next millennium, says Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHF), a 270,000-member education and advocacy organization. President Bill Clinton, it seems, agrees. In his budget message earlier this year, he asked Congress to set aside $50 million in each of the next three years to help in the maintenance and restoration of the buildings, battlefields, landmarks and artifacts that are the legacy of our nation’s history. The proposed funds are part of a new White House initiative called the Save America’s Treasures Millennium Program, which will team public agencies with private groups like the NTHP to identify and carry out the country’s most Urgent preservation projects. “We’re in danger of losing some of our heritage,” says Moe. Saving that heritage will take both money and ingenuity. The park service alone has a maintenance backlog estimated at $5 billion to $8 billion. Of the 20,000 historic structures so far identified on park sites, more than half are thought to be in poor, fair or unknown condition. “Right now, there’s just no federal money,” says NPS chief historical architect Randy Biallis.
