Preliminary Exam CSAT September 15

1. For two or three generations past, ever- increasing numbers of individuals have been living as workers merely, not as human beings. An excessive amount of labour is rule today in every circle of society, with the result that man's spiritual element cannot thrive. He finds it very difficult to spend his little leisure in serious activities. He does not want to think; or he cannot even if he wants to. He seeks not self-improvement, but entertainment which would enable him to be mentally idle and to forget his usual activities. Therefore, the so-called culture of cur age is dependent more on cinema than on theatre, more on newspapers, magazines and crime stories than on serious literature.

The passage is based on the idea that

(a) man should not work hard (b) the great evil of our age us overstrain (c) man cannot think well (d) man cannot care for his spiritual welfare
