 It is hard to get any agreement on the precise meaning of the term "social class". In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider their equals from which they assume with people they consider higher or lower than themselves in social scale. The criteria we use to "place" a new acquaintance, however, are a complex mixture of factors. Dress, way of speaking, area of residence in a given city or province, education and manners all play a part.
 In ancient civilizations, the Sumerian, for example, which flourished in the lower Euphrates valley from 2000 to 5000 B.C. social differences were based on birth, status or rank, rather than on wealth. Four main classes were recognized. These were the rulers, the priestly administrators, the freemen (such as craftsmen, merchants or farmers) and the slaves.
 In Greece, after the sixth-century B.C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the aristocrats, and a gradual decrease in the power of the aristocracy when a kind of ‘middle class’ of traders and skilled workers grew up. The population of Athens, for example, was divided into three main classes which were politically and legally distinct. About one-third of the total population were slaves, who did not count politically at all, a fact often forgotten by those who praise Athens as the nursery of democracy. The next main group consisted of resident foreigners, the "metics" who were free men, though they too were allowed no share in political life. The third group was the powerful body of "citizens", who were themselves divided into sub-classes.
 The medieval feudal system, which flourished in Europe from the ninth to the thirteenth century, gave rise to a comparatively simple system based on birth. Under the King, there were two main classes - lords and "vassals", the latter with many subdivisions.
 In the later Middle Ages, however, the development of a money economy and the growth of cities and trade led to the rise of another class, the "burghers" or city merchants and mayors. These were the predecessors of the modem middle classes. Gradually high office and occupation assumed importance in determining social position, as it became more and more possible for a person bom to one station in life to move to another. This change affected the towns more than the country areas, where remnants of feudalism lasted much longer.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each o f the questions from 43 to 50.
 Simply being bilingual doesn’t qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, it’s a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue. or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener.
 At one international conference, an American speaker said, "You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear", which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, "A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey". an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea.
 There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said.
Question 43: A precondition of being a translator is.......
A. being bilingual 	B. being a linguist
C. working well with people	D. being able to use high-tech equipment
Question 44: The example "You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear" is used to......
A. stress the importance of word for word translation
B. emphasize the need for translation of the meaning of what is said
C. point out the difference in attributes of animals in English and Spanish
D. show the differences in language A and language B
Question 45: The word "the former" in the last paragraph refers to......
A. the conference	B. consecutive interpreters.
C. simultaneous interpreters	D. both A & B.
Question 46: The author implies that most people have the opinion that the skill of interpreting is.......
A. very complex and demanding	B. simpler than it really is
C. highly valued and admired	D. based on principles of business
Question 47: What is a difference mentioned between a simultaneous interpreter and a consecutive interpreter?
A. The type of dictionary they use. 	B. Their proficiency in the language.
C. The size of group with whom they work.	D. The money they are paid.
Question 48: What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To differentiate between simultaneous and consecutive interpreters.
B. To explain the scope of interpreting
C. To point out the importance of an interpreter.
D. To state the qualifications of an interpreter.
Question 49: The word "converting" is closest in meaning to......

Question 50: Which of the following would a consecutive interpreter be used for?
A. A translation of a foreign book.	B. A large meeting of many nations.
C. An interpretation of a major literary work.	D. A business transaction between 2 foreign speakers.
