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
There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greek The one most widely accepted today is based
on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual The argument for this view goes as follows In the beginning
human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought,
through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama
Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theatre because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the
“acting area” and “auditorium” In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was attached
to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites Religious leaders usually assumed that task Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect-
success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun-as an actor might Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities
Another theory traces the theatre’s origin from the human interest in storytelling According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue
by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person A closely related theory traces theatre to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sound

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care View a career
as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living Investing the time and effort
to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live Here are just a few of the factors to consider
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision You may want to begin by assessing
your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or co-operative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones
you cannot accept Then rank themin order of importance to you
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account You may not want to sit at a desk all day If not, there are diversity occupations – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it Some industries evoke positive or negative
associations The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less
obvious Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly
paid as some doctors Another point to consider is that as you get mature, you will likely to develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities The choice you make today need not be your final one
