     Throughout history, the search for salt has played an
  important role in society. Where it was scarce, salt was traded
  ounce for ounce with gold. Rome's major highway was called the
  Via Salaria, that is, the Salt Road. Along that road, Roman
  soldiers transported salt crystals from the salt flats at Ostia
  up the Tiber River. In return, they received a salarium or
  salary, which was literally money paid to soldiers to buy salt.
  The old saying "worth their salt", which means to be valuable,
  derives from the custom of payment during the Empire.

    Questions 35-38 refer to the following passage:

     In May, 1966, the World Health Organization was authorized to
  initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to
  eliminate the disease in one decade. Because similar projects for
  malaria and yellow fever failed, few believed that smallpox could
  actually be eradicated, but eleven years after the initial
  organization of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field.
     The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also
  to isolate patients with active smallpox in order to contain the
  spread of the disease and to break the chain of human
  transmission.  Rewards for reporting smallpox were assisted in
  motivating the public to aid health workers. One by one, each
  smallpox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others,
  and treated. At the same time, the entire village where victim
  had lived was vaccinated.
     Today smallpox is no more a threat to humanity. Routine
  vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.

    Questions 39-42 refer to the following passage:

     The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their
  children may be more an American ideal than an American reality.
  Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always
  more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very
  different racial, ethnic, class, and religion customs among
  different American groups.
      The most recent government statistics reveal that only about
  one third of all current American families fit the traditional
  mold and another third consists of married couples who either have
  no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one
  third, about twenty percent of the total number of American
  households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years
  of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists
  of unmarried people who choose to live together, and the rest,
  about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at
  least one child.

    Questions 43-47 refer to the following passage:

      Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates
  without protection. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any
  organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In
  response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is
  a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of
  adrenaline released in response to fear.
      Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society,
  we are constantly responding in the same way that we would respond
  to danger. Recently, researches have concluded that noise and our
  response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious
  threat to physical and psychological health and  well-being,
  causing damage not only to the ear and the brain but also to the
  heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is
  America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are
  learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be
  victims of noise as well.
