Reading passages
I. Dates and periods are necessary to the study and discussion of history, for all historical phenomena are conditioned by time and are produced by the sequence of events. Periods, especially, are retrospective conceptions that we form about past events; they are useful to focus discussion but very often they lead historical thought astray. Thus, while it is certainly useful to speak of the Middle Ages and of the Victorian Age, those two abstract ideas have deluded many scholars and millions of newspaper readers into supposing that during certain decades called the Middle Ages, and again during certain decades called Age of Victoria, everyone thought or acted more or less in the same way -till at last Victoria died or the Middle Age came to an end. But in fact there was no such sameness.

A) was more uniform in the Middle Ages than in the Victorian Age
B) is a subject that should also be studied by historians
C) in any given period is always the same
D) is unrelated to the age we live in
E) was not uniform, at all, in any given period
2. The division of history into periods ............... .
A) is avoided by modern historians
B) was rejected in the Victorian Age
C) is both useful and deceptive
D) has been in use since the Middle Ages
E) serves no useful purpose at all
3. According to the passage, the study of history ..................... .
A) began in the Middle Ages and reached its height in the Victorian Age
B) has changed greatly in our time
C) includes a great variety of interrelated subjects
D) should concentrate on the reconstruction of past events
E) requires a knowledge of dates and periods
II. Both as a profession and as a science, economics lost considerable prestige during the recession of 1974-1975. The crisis that sized the western industrialised countries, including Japan, was of a character not to be found in economics textbooks: rate of inflation exceeding 10% a year coupled with declining production and high levels of unemployment. Hitherto, peacetime inflation had been associated with high employment and an overactive economy, while high rates of employment went with the recession and depression. The next combination was aptly called stagflation.
