Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 37<br />
Clothing is a distinctly human artifact. Even more than the use of tools, it distinguishes humans<br />
from the other creatures on this planet. While there are other creatures which use implements to a<br />
greater or lesser degree, clothing is unique to humanity. Clothing is also uniquely human, in that it<br />
serves more than one function.<br />
The basic purpose of clothing was utilitarian. By putting on an artificial skin, humans were able to<br />
move into regions for which they would otherwise have been unsuited. An extreme example of this<br />
use of clothing can be seen among the Eskimos, and other people who live in extreme climates.<br />
However, clothing was not only used for protection from the elements, but has also been a means of<br />
displaying one's status and sense of style for as long as humans have had civilization. Thus clothing<br />
also developed in countries where there is no real practical need for it, apart from the other, very<br />
human function of preserving the modesty of the wearer.<br />
Clothing tells us many things about the wearer. It can be used to indicate whether she is a member<br />
of a particular group or organization, the most extreme example of this type of clothing being a<br />
uniform. It tells us a lot about the importance of clothing that the clothes a person was wearing have<br />
been, literally, the difference between life and death. In war, soldiers recognize friends and enemies<br />
by their uniforms. Spies may be shot if captured, but if they go about their business in the uniform of<br />
their country, they are regarded as legitimate members of that country's armed forces.<br />
Uniforms can also be less formal. Anyone who has seen a group of teenagers walking together will<br />
have noticed that their clothing conforms to the standard set by their particular group. Nor are teens<br />
the only ones who are subject to such pressures. It is a rare businessman who does not feel the need to<br />
wear a suit and tie. Most politicians also try to be neat and well-dressed. People who wish to impress<br />
others often do so by the selection of their clothes-sometimes by choosing more expensive versions.<br />
This can be seen particularly in the fashion industry, where clothing by a particular designer fetches<br />
prices which are out of all proportion to the actual utilitarian value of the material.<br />
Therefore, even though we are steadily managing to adjust our micro-environments to<br />
temperatures which are as close to ideal as the human body wants, and even though sexual taboos of<br />
undress are being steadily eroded, it is highly unlikely that there will be no use for clothing in our<br />
future, unless humanity evolves into a completely new species.<br />
