For example, It hasbeen suggested that the employment of women inindustry took them out of the household, their traditionalsphere, and fundamentally altered their position insociety.In the nineteenth century, when women began to enterfactories, Jules Simon, a French politician, warned that bydoing so, women would give up their femininity. FriedrichEngels, however, predicted that women would be liberatedfrom the "social, legal, and economic subordination" ofthe family by technological developments that madepossible the recruitment of "the whole female sex intopublic Industry." Observers thus differed concerning thesocial desirability of mechanization's effects, but theyagreed that it would transform women's lives.Historians, particularly those investigating the history ofwomen, now seriously question this assumption oftransforming power. They conclude that such dramatictechnological innovations as the spinning jenny, thesewing machine, the typewriter, and the vacuum cleanerhave not resulted in equally dramatic social changes inwomen's economic position or in the prevailing evaluationof women's work. The employment of young women intextile mills during the Industrial Revolution was largelyan extension of an older pattern of employment of young,single women as domestics.

No of Questions: 25Duration In Minutes: 30It was not the change in office technology, but rather theseparation of secretarial work, previously seen as anapprenticeship for beginning managers, fromadministrative work that in the 1880's created a new classof "dead end" jobs, henceforth considered "women'swork."The increase in the numbers of married women employedoutside the home in the twentieth century had less to dowith the mechaniz"tion of housework and an increase inleisure time for these women than It did with their owneconomic necessity and with high marriage rates thatshrank the available pool of single women workers,previously, in many cases, the only women employerswould hire. Women's work has changed considerably inthe past 200 years, moving from the household to theoffice or the factory, and later becoming mostly whitecollar instead of blue-collar work.Fundamentally, however, the conditions under whichwomen work have changed little since before theIndustrial Revolution: the segregation of occupations bygender, lower pay for women as a group, jobs that requirerelatively low levels of skill and offer women littleopportunity for advancement all perSist, while women'shousehold labor remains demanding. Recent historicalinvestigation has led to a major revision of the notion thattechnology is always inherently revolutionary In it effectson society. Mechanization may even have slowed anychange in the traditional position of women both in thelabor market and in the home.33) Which of the following statements best summarizesthe main idea of the passage?A) The effects of the mechanization of women's work have notborne out the frequently held assumption that new technologyis inherently revolutionary.B) Recent studies have shown that mechanizationrevolutionizes a society's traditional values and the customaryroles of its members.C) Mechanization has caused the nature of women's work tochange since the Industrial Revolution.0) The mechanization of work creates whole new classes ofjobs that did not previously exist.34) The author mentions all of the following inventions asexamples of dramatic technological innovations EXCEPTthe:A) Sewing machineC) Typewriter B) Vacuum cleaner0) Telephone35) It can be inferred from the passage that, before theIndustrial Revolution, the majority of women's work wasdone in which of the following settings?A) Textile millsC) Offices B) Private households0) Factories

36) It can be inferred from the passage that the authorwould consider which of the following to be an indicationof a fundamental alteration in the conditions of women'swork?A) Statistics showing that the majority of women now occupywhite-collar positions.B) Interviews with married men indicating that they are nowdoing some household tasksC) Surveys of the labor market documenting the recentcreation of a new class of jobs in electronics in which womenworkers outnumber men four to one.D) Census results showing that working women's wages andsalaries are, on the average, as high as those of working men.37) The passages states that, before the twentieth century,which of the following was true of many employers?A) They did not employ women in factories.B) They tended to employ single rather than married women.C) They employed women in only those jobs that were relatedto women's traditional household work.D) They resisted technological innovations that would radicallychange women's roles in the family.Directions fo r Questions 38-42:

Keats, perhaps, is the saddest example of a fine spirithounded to death by savage criticism; because, whateverhis biographers may aver, that furious attack of Giffordand Terry undoubtedly expedited his death. But no doubtthere are hundreds who suffer keenly from hostile andunscrupulous criticism, and who have to bear thatsuffering in silence, because it is a cardinal principle inliterature that the most unwise thing in the world fo r anauthor is to take public notice of criticism in the way ofdefending himself. Silence is the only safeguard, as i t isthe only dignified protest against insult and offence.38) Why is the literary life mostly an unhappy one?A) Because a genius suffers the penalty of genius, and atalented person has so many cares and worriesB) Because it is mostly a lonely lifeC) Because it does not pay much materialisticallyD) Because it is difficult to get a reading public39) What are the ambi tions of a young author?A) To be acknowledged as a new light in literatureB) To be able to reveal himselfC) To gain a public ear0) To get his composition published

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on 40) Are editors and publishers sympathetic to youngthe basis of the information provided in the passage. authors?Unquestionably, a literary life is for most part an unhappylife, because, i f you have genius, you must suffer thepenalty of genius; and, if you have only talent, there are somany cares and worries incidental to the circumstances ofmen of etters, as to make life exceedingly miserable.Besides the pangs of composition, and the continuousdisappointment which a true artist feels at his inability toreveal himself, there is the ever-recurring difficulty ofgaining the public ear. Young writers are buoyed up by thehope and the belief that they have only to throw that poemat the world's feet to get back in return the laurel-crown;that they have only to push that novel into print to beacknowledged at once as a new light in literature. You cannever convince a young author that the editors ofmagazines and the publishers of books are a practicalbody of men, who are by no means frantically anlxlousabout placing the best literature before the public. Nay,that for the most part they are mere brokers, who conducttheir business on the hardest lines of a Profit and Lossaccount. Bu t supposing your book fairly launches, it sperils are only beginning. You have to run the gauntlet ofthe critics.To a young author, again, this seems to be as terrible anordeal as passing down the files of Sioux or ComancheIndians, each one of whom is thirsting fo r your scalp.When you are a little older, you will find that criticism Isno t much more serious than the bye-play of clowns In acircus. when they beat around the ring. the victim withbladders slung at the end of long poles. A timecomes in the life of every author when he regards critics

A) They areB) They are notC) They are anxious about placing only the best literaturebefore the publicD) They are mere brokers who conduct their business on thehardest lines of a Profit and Loss account.41) What are the ordeals awaiting the young author fromthe critics?A) The critics harass himB) He has to run the 'gauntlet' oft he criticsC) He has to save his scalp, as the critics throw stones at himD) The critics are sympathetic towards him42) What attitude should an author adopt in the face ofbitter criticism?A) He should defend himselfB) He should regard critics formidable and change his way ofwritingC) He should suffer silentlyD) He should take criticism as not more than the bye-play ofclowns in a circus and go his way unheeding.Directions fo r Question 43:Identify the CORRECT statement(s) in the followingquestion43)
