<b>V. Read the 3 following passages and circle the best answer A, B, C or D. </b>
A)To a European, money means power, the freedom to do as he likes, which
also means that, consciously or unconsciously, he says: “I want to have as much
money as possible myself and others to have as little money as possible.”

In the United States, wealth was also acquired by stealing, but the real
exploited victim was not a human being but poor Mother Earth and her creatures who
were ruthlessly plundered. It is true that the Indians were expropriated or
exterminated, but this was not, as it has always been in Europe, a matter of the
conqueror seizing the wealth of the conquered, for the Indian had never realized the
potential riches of his country. It is also true that, in the Southern states, men lived on

the labor of slaves, but slave labor did not make them fortunes; what made slavery in
the South all the more inexcusable was that, in addition to being morally wicked, it
didn’t even pay off handsomely.

Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite
recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money than his father, so
that, if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient. What an
American values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his power to
make it as proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has
served its function and can be lost or given away. In no society in history have rich
men given away so large a part of their fortunes. A poor American feels guilty at
being poor, but less guilty than an American renter who had inherited wealth but is
doing nothing to increase it; what can the latter do but take to drink and
psychoanalysis?

1. Which of the following can be concluded from the first paragraph?
A. Those who have a lot of money enjoy real freedom.

B. Money is made either consciously or unconsciously.

C. Some European acquire money and power without even being conscious of it.
D. Some people not only want to get rich but wish others to be poor.

2. To an American, money means …………

A. The freedom to do whatever he likes B. proof of ability and
manhood

C. diligence and efficiency D. both B and C

3. The author seems to believe that the natural resources in the U.S. are …………
A. poor B. limited C. rich D. on the increase
4. In the passage, the word “fortunes” (Para.2 and 3) is used twice. What does it

mean?

A. luck B. good opportunitiesC. wealth D. power
5. In the author’s opinion, an American renter …………

A. should feel more guilty than a poor American
B. should feel content with this inherited wealth

C. is even lazier and more inefficient than a poor American
D. will take to drink if he does nothing to increase his wealth
