Diffusion, the process of introducing cultural elements from one society into another, occurs in three
basic patterns: direct contact, intermediate contact, and stimulus diffusion.
In direct contact, elements of a society's culture may be adopted first by neighboring societies and then
gradually spread farther afield. The spread of the manufacture of paper is an example of extensive diffusion
by direct contact. The invention of paper is attributed to the Chinese Ts'ai Lun in A.D. 105. Within fifty
years, paper was being made in many places in central China. By 264 it was found in Chinese Turkmenistan,
and from then on the successive places of manufacture were Samarkand (751), Baghdad (793), Egypt (about
900), Morocco (about 1100), and France (1189). In general, the pattern of accepting the borrowed invention
was the same everywhere. Paper was first imported into each area as a luxury, then in ever-expanding
quantities as a staple product. Finally, usually within one to three centuries, local manufacture started.
Diffusion by intermediate contact occurs through the agency of third parties. Frequently, traders carry
a cultural trait from the society that originated it to another group. As an example of diffusion through
intermediaries, Phoenician traders spread the alphabet which may have been invented by another Semitic
group, to Greece. At times, soldiers serve as intermediaries in spreading a culture trait. During the Middle
Ages, European soldiers acted as intermediaries in two ways: they carried European culture to Arab societies
of North Africa and brought Arab culture back to Europe. In the nineteenth century Western missionaries
brought Western-style clothing to such places as Africa and the Pacific Islands.
In stimulus diffusion, knowledge of a trait belonging to another culture stimulates the invention or
development of a local equivalent. A classic example of stimulus diffusion is the creation of the Cherokee
syllabic writing system by a Native American named Sequoya. Sequoya got the idea from his contact with the
English; yet he did not adopt the writing system nor did he even learn to write English. He utilized some
English alphabetic symbols, altered others, and invented new ones.
1. The passage mainly discusses how ____.
A. cultures retain their unique characteristics
B. cultural elements transfer from one culture to another
C. paper came into general use
D. economies grew through trade and manufacturing
2. The word "attributed" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.

A. Adopt the English writing system for use in Cherokee
B. Study English intensively in order to learn to write it
C. Teach English to Cherokee Native Americans
D. Create a Cherokee writing system based on elements of the English alphabet
6. The origins of the Greek and Cherokee writing systems were discussed in the passage because both systems
____.
A. underwent identical patterns of development in different parts of the world
B. influenced the development of alphabets of other languages

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions from 1 to 7.
A large number of inventions require years of arduous research and development before they are
perfected. For instance, Thomas Edison had to make more than 1,000 attempts to invent the incandescent
light bulb before he finally succeeded. History is replete with numerous other examples of people trying, yet
12
failing to make inventions before they eventually succeeded. Yet some inventions have come about not
through hard work but simply by accident in most cases, when someone unintentionally invented something,
the inventor was attempting to create something else. For example, in the 1930s, chemist Roy Plunkett was
attempting to make a new substance that could be used to refrigerate items. He mixed some chemicals
together. Then, he put them into a pressurized container and cooled the mixture. By the time his experiment
was complete, he had a new invention. It was not a new substance that could be used for refrigeration though.
Instead, he had invented Teflon, which is today most commonly used to make nonstick pots and pans.
Similarly, decades earlier, John Pemberton was a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia. He was attempting to create
a tonic that people could use whenever they had headaches. While he was not successful in that endeavor, he
managed to invent Coca-Cola, the world - famous carbonated soft drink.
Scientists have also made crucial discoveries by accident when they were conducting experiments. In
1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, an antibiotic in this manner. He discovered some mold
growing in a dish with some bacteria. He noticed that the bacteria seemed to be avoiding the mold. When he
investigated further, he determined some of the many useful properties of penicillin, which has saved millions
of lives over the past few decades. Likewise, in 1946, scientist Percy Spencer was conducting an experiment
with microwaves. He had a candy bar in his pocket, and he noticed that it suddenly melted. He investigated
and learned the reason why that had happened. Soon afterward, he built a device that could utilize
microwaves to heat food, the microwave oven.

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 from 1 to 7.
A survey into the media habits of teenagers in the USA reveals some surprising statistics. The average
teenager spends an incredible eleven hours each day on their mobile phones, computers, games consoles or
TVs. That's more hours than they are awake outside school time! How are they able to do this? The answer, of
course, is multitasking.
The results of the survey came as no surprise to fifteen-year-old participant Jake Kendall. He told
researchers that he multitasked every second that he was online. He said that he was completing their survey
at the same time as watching a TV show, chatting to friends online and reading reviews of the latest film
releases. For sixteen-year-old Marisa Sanchez, the survey simply confirmed the facts. She said that she had
watched two hours of TV in the three hours since the end of school, and also researched her homework about
volcanoes, played an online game for two hours, and arranged her weekend plans by texting friends.
Some experts are worried about the survey results. Sylvia de Lupis of the Family Action Institute told
our reporter that teenagers would have difficulties because of their multitasking habits. She added that, as
adults, they would struggle to focus their attention. However, Dr. Michael Rich from the Center on Media
and Child Health said that worries about multitasking had become pointless a long time ago, and that high
levels of media use were now a part of young people's environment, 'like the air that they breathe, the water
that they drink and the food that they eat'.

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 from 1 to 7.
Although Spain is widely credited with popularising the term “siesta” the idea of taking siestas
seems to have roots in Islamic Law. Siesta rests are specifically mentioned in the Koran.
But it’s worth mentioning that there is a strong Spanish connection to siestas. The word siesta is
actually a Spanish word. It comes from the Latin word “hora sexto,” which means “the sixth hour.”
Many people believe “the sixth hour” is a reference to noontime since noon is situated about six hours
after dawn. That’s why siesta is now defined as “a midday or afternoon nap or rest.”
There are several different theories about why siestas have become so popular in Spain over the years.
They range from practical theories to theories that are relatively dark in nature.
One of the dark theories suggests that people in Spain started taking siestas back in the 1930s at the
height of the Spanish Civil War. According to the theory, siestas were a necessity because of the economic
conditions at the time.
During the Spanish Civil War, most of those living in Spain were forced to deal with poverty. To
make ends meet, they had to work two or three jobs at a time in order to generate enough income to support
their families.
Siestas provided people with a break from their work. Many of them would work all morning long,
take siestas, and then get back to work in the afternoon before working a night shift as well.

Preserving the environment is crucial for the well-being of future generations and the planet. Human
activities, such as deforestation, excessive pollution, and overconsumption of resources, are leading to climate
change, loss of biodiversity, and environmental degradation. To counter these effects, individuals and
communities must adopt sustainable practices.
Reducing waste, conserving water, and minimizing energy use are practical steps everyone can take.
Recycling materials, using renewable energy, and supporting eco-friendly businesses are other ways to
protect the environment. Governments play a key role by enforcing regulations to reduce emissions and
promoting green initiatives, like reforestation and clean energy.
Additionally, raising awareness about environmental issues is vital. Educational programs can inspire
individuals to make informed decisions that benefit the planet. By working together, we can significantly
reduce environmental damage and preserve natural ecosystems, ensuring a healthier Earth for future
generations. Every small action counts in protecting the environment.
