Reading Comprehension

Directions(1 - 5): In these questions, you have two brief passages with five questions following each passage. Read
the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
The recent change to all-volunteer armed forces in the United States will eventually produce a gradual increase in the
proportion of women in the armed forces and in the variety of women's assignments, but probably not the dramatic
gains for women that might have been expected. This is so even though the armed forces operate in an ethos of
institutional change oriented toward occupational equality and under the federal sanction of equal pay for equal work.
The difficulty is that women are unlikely to be trained for any direct combat operations.
A significant portion of the larger society remains uncomfortable as yet with extending equality in this direction.
Therefore, for women in the military, the search for equality will still be based on functional equivalence, not identity
or even similarity of task. Opportunities seem certain to arise. The growing emphasis on deterrence is bound to offer
increasing scope for women to become involved in novel types of noncombat military assignments.

When I think of my family's history on the land. I experience a pang of regret. Unlike much of the arid West, where the
land has gone virtually unchanged for centuries, my place of origin, western Kansas, has been torn up by agriculture.
The flat plains, excellent soil, and sparse but just adequate rainfall permitted farming; therefore farming prevailed, and
a good 90% of the original sod prairie is gone. The consequence, in human terms, is that our relationship to our place
has always felt primarily mercantile. We used the land and denied, or held at bay, its effect on us. Yet from my earliest
childhood, when the most of the Kansas prairie was still intact, I've known that the land also had a romantic quality.
I've felt moved by the expanse of it, enthralled by size. I take pride in my identity as a plains daughter.
