Passage Two
There were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the  two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations  were the Greek and the Roman. Often these two cultures are lumped together  in our minds, as if they were really exactly alike. But that is not the  case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more  different.
The Greeks were truly democratic, often without a single leader but  instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were  semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate, but the political power was  mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.
Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interests  of the two cultures were also different. The Greeks tended to be more
artistic. Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially  interested in temples, columns, and decorative forms. The Romans, on the  other hand, were more engineers than artists. They concentrated their  efforts on urban planning, well-functioning water pipes, and the best  roads.
Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really  similar. Both peoples ate very well inde
ed: lots of fish, fresh vegetables  and fruits, healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and  tasting excellent wines.
In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life  in their warm,sea-oriented climates and they both lived a full life.

B. The artistic decoration of the buildings.
C. The practical functions of the buildings.a
D. The system of water supply and transportation.
43. How are the two cultures alike?

Passage Three
As recently as three decades ago, many Americans believed that using  credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought. Some  even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something  to be ashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they  wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately. Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as some observers have  noted, has become a way of life in the United States. More and more  Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards,
