Reading comprehension 1: Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question from 636 to 640.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born on July 18, 1918, in the small village of Qunu in South Africa. His father, Henry, was the chief counselor to the tribe’s leader and also a sort of “unofficial priest.”

Mandela’s father rejected the prejudices those in his tribe, the Xhosa, held against the Mfengu tribe, who were considered better educated and more ‘Western’ than other tribes in the region. Chief Henry befriended two Mfengu brothers, George and Ben Mbekela. George, a retired schoolteacher, suggested Rolihlahla be sent to school. There he was given the English name Nelson in accordance with the usual custom in South African schools at the time.

When Mandela was twelve years old, his father died. The tribe’s leader, Dalindyebo, became Mandela’s guardian and began grooming him for leadership. Mandela attended tribal meetings, in which issues of concern to all the villagers were discussed and voted upon. Mandela observed how Dalindyebo would open the meetings by addressing his amapakati, or “the middle ones,” who were sent to represent the interests of local clans. After explaining the reason for convening the meeting, Dalindyebo would yield the floor to the amapakati. Then he would remain silent until each person had spoken.

Even when meetings became hostile, Dalindyebo would listen patiently until all opinions were voiced. He would then help the group reach a consensus. Mandela credits his early exposure to this process, “democracy in its purest form,” for his later principles and practices as a political activist and leader.

Reading comprehension 2: Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question from 641 to 645.

Parasocial relationships refer to one-sided relationships where an individual develops a strong sense of connection, intimacy, or familiarity with someone they don’t know, most often a celebrity or media personality. These relationships exist only in the mind of the individual who perceives the connection despite the lack of reciprocity.

This term was first introduced by psychologists Donald Horton and R. Richard Wohl in 1956, when television became widely popular, as they noticed that TV viewers began to form “illusions of intimacy” with characters on screen. There are no definitive conclusions about why people develop parasocial relationships, but one hypothesis suggests that the human brain is developed to be social, and when so much of our time is spent online or watching TV or movies, we’re naturally inclined to recognize faces we see repeatedly and develop warm feelings for them.

Originally believed to be unhealthy, contemporary research has largely refuted this view. These relationships are often harmless and, in fact, quite common. Research shows that such relationships can improve an individual’s well-being by providing a sense of companionship and someone with whom they can relate.

However, when parasocial relationships become a full-time occupation for an individual, they may be considered unhealthy – the individual may cease maintaining real-life relationships, or their daily functioning may decline, hindering personal growth and emotional fulfillment. In rare cases, these relationships may contribute to an individual losing touch with reality. One typical example of an unhealthy and delusional parasocial relationship is John Hinckley, Jr., who was infatuated with the actress Jodie Foster. John, who also suffered from psychiatric conditions, shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981 in an attempt to impress Foster.
