northernmost and southernmost regions. One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that
produces honey and wax. Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they
use the honey as a substance that people eat to maintain life and growth. While gathering the nectar and
pollen with which they make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which
they land. Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to
blossom.
Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage space
for the honey. The different types of bees each perform a unique function. The worker bee carries nectar to
hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach. Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a
honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells. The queen lays eggs in
completed cells. As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs.
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen. The male honeybees
are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting. They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their
only job is to impregnate a queen. The queen must be fertilized in order to lay more worker eggs. During
the season when less honey is available and the drone is of no further use, the workers block the drones
from eating the honey so that they will starve to death.

36. Which of the following is the best title for the reading?
A. The Many Species of Bees
B. The Useless Drone
C. The Honeybee - Its characteristics and Usefulness
D. Making Honey
37. The word “which” in the fourth sentence refers to________ .
A. fertilizer B. flowers C. honey D. bees

C. comes from eggs fertilized by other drones

Before the 1500’s. the Western plains of North America were dominated by farmers. One group, the

Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of
labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though
duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails.
Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer
exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern

- Trang | 6 - equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the
products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies still serve as
a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish's central
religious concept of Demut, "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so
typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the
Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal
mechanism for maintaining order.
By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and
constantly changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists,
leading to the establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions, of control such as the
police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy
prevails. Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The
popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-made
objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply
produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner.
