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
Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child's baby teeth fall out. In
Korea, for example, they have the custom of throwing lost teeth up on the roof of a house.
According to tradition, a magpie will come and take the tooth. Later, the magpie will return
with a new tooth for the child. In other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam, children
follow a similar tradition of throwing their lost teeth onto the roofs of houses.

Birds aren't the only animals thought to take lost teeth. In Mexico and Spain, tradition
says a mouse takes a lost tooth and leaves some money. However, in Mongolia, dogs are
responsible for taking teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture and are
considered guardian angels of the people.
Tradition says that the new tooth will grow good and strong if the baby tooth is fed to a
guardian angel. Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their child's lost tooth in a piece of
meat and feed it to a dog.
The idea of giving lost teeth to an angel or fairy is also a tradition in the West. Many
children in Western countries count on the Tooth Fairy to leave money or presents in exchange
for a tooth. The exact origins of the Tooth Fairy are a mystery, although the story probably
began in England or Ireland centuries ago. According to tradition, a child puts a lost tooth under
his or her pillow before going to bed. In the wee hours, while the child is sleeping, the Tooth
Fairy takes the tooth and leaves something else under the pillow. In France, the Tooth Fairy
leaves a small gift. In the United States, however, the Tooth Fairy usually leaves money. These
days, the rate is 1 USD to 5 USD per tooth, adding up to a lot of money from the Tooth Fairy!

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.
There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. 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 theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used.
Furthermore, a suitable site hard to be provided for the performances, and when the entire
community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the "acting areas and
the "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 theater'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 theater to
those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitation of animal
movements and sounds.
Question 44: The passage supports which of the following statements?
A. Storytelling is an important part of dance.
B. Dramatic activities require the use of costumes.
C. No one really knows how the theater began.
D. Myths are no longer represented dramatically.

A. human beings

B. seasonal changes

C. natural forces

D. theories

Question 46: What aspect of drama does the author discuss in the first paragraph?
