When parents name their children, they often take into consideration their own
preferences, family traditions, or beliefs. In many European cultures, parents typically
select names based on family connections, often honoring grandparents or ancestors.
For instance, in Italy, children are commonly named after their grandparents, starting
with the father's parents and then the mother's. Similarly, in Eastern Europe, children
may be named after their deceased relatives to protect them from harm.

In some Asian countries, the naming process may involve the child's grandfather or a
fortuneteller, who chooses a name believed to shape the child's character. Names
might be inspired by elements like fire, water, earth, wood, or metal, or they may
convey qualities such as beauty, strength, or kindness.

African cultures also have unique naming traditions, such as in Ghana's Akan culture,
where a child's name is determined by the day of their birth. Each day has specific
names for boys and girls, reflecting characteristics associated with that day. For
example, a boy born on Friday might be named Kofi, symbolizing a "wanderer" or
"explorer" while a girl born on the same day could be named Afua, also representing a
traveler.

No matter where a name originates, it holds significant meaning and reflects the
child's cultural heritage. Whether chosen out of preference or dictated by tradition, a
child's name is a cherished and treasured gift.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.

To start with, money-conscious employers regarded air conditioning as a luxury. They

considered that if they were paying people to work, they should not be paying for
them to be comfortable as well. So in the 1940 s and 1950 s, the industry started
putting out a different message about its product: according to their research,
installing air conditioning increased productivity amongst employees. They found that
typists increased their output by 24% when transferred from a regular office to a
cooled one. Another study into office working conditions, which was carried out in
the late 1950s, showed that the majority of companies cited air conditioning as the
single most important contributor to efficiency in offices.

However, air conditioning faces criticism from some quarters. Environmentalist Jed
Brown argues that air conditioning contributes to global warming. Unfortunately, he
adds, because air conditioning leads to higher temperatures, people have to use it even
more paradoxically. However, he concedes that it does offer a healthier environment
for many individuals during the sweltering summer months.
