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 31 to 35.
When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal preference. In other families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child’s name. And in some cases, the time of a child’s birth influences how the child’s name is determined.
In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents’ choice for their child’s name may be based on names of relatives or ancestors within their particular family. For example, in Italy, children are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father’s parents’ names first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother’s parents’ names. Similarly, some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death.
Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child’s grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the child’s name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child’s name is chosen to influence the child’s character. For example, names may be based on a connection to certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.
In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child’s name. In Ghana’s Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child’s name. But each day has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua are names meaning “wanderer” or “explorer.” Children with these names are seen as travelers.
No matter where the name comes from, a child’s name is the first gift in life. Whether it is chosen according to preference or dictated by tradition, the name reflects something about a child’s culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected.

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 36 to 42.
“Perfume,” says expert perfumer Sophia Grojsman, “is a promise in a bottle.” That promise might be reflected in a perfume’s name: Joy, Pleasures, or Beautiful, for example. Millions of dollars are spent on the marketing of a perfume, trying to get customers to connect luxury, attraction, or attitude to a fragrance.
Even without all the marketing, fragrance has power over our thoughts and emotions. Some scientists insist that memory and smell are especially closely linked. Certain aromas have the power to call up deep memories. Perfume makers are aware of this and use aromas that can touch us deeply.
Of every ten new perfumes put on the market, perhaps only one will succeed. It’s risky to try, as a company introducing a new fragrance can easily run through a budget of 20 million dollars. Profits, wever, can be very high. One successful fragrance, CK One from designer Calvin Klein, made 250 million dollars in its first year.
In the perfume world, an essence is a material with its own special aroma. Some are natural, derived from flowers, plants, or wood, for example. Others are synthetic copies of rare or difficult-to-obtain essences. According to perfume authority Harry Frémont, a good fragrance “is a balance between naturals and synthetics. Naturals give richness and roundness; synthetics, backbone and sparkle.”
Sephora is France’s leading perfume store. In a store of shining stone, metal, and glass, famous perfumes are displayed and guarded like works of art in the nearby Louvre Museum.? Salespeople are dressed entirely in black, and each type of perfume is sold in a distinctly shaped bottle. In perfume sales, the emphasis is on presentation at least as much as on the product.
France’s main competitor in the global perfume market is the United States, where image is all-important. The recent launch in the U.S. of one cologne for men, named after basketball star Michael Jordan, was preceded by a flood of TV commercials and talk show appearances by the player to create plenty of excitement and hype. If you’re confused about which perfume to buy, perfumer Annie Buzantian offers this advice: you really can’t get an idea whether a perfume works or not until you wear it. “It’s like the difference between a dress on the hanger and a dress on your body,” says Buzantian. And Frémont adds, “Your first impression is often the right one.”
