Cet-6-1.20-Exercise 01One hundred years ago, “Colored” was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent. Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for “Negro.” By the late 1960s, that term was overtaken by “Black.” And then, at a press conference in Chicago in 1988, Jesse Jackson declared that “African American” was the term to embrace. This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups, such as “Italian Americans” and “Irish Americans,” that had already been freed of widespread discrimination. Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term “African American” for people of African descent?

A. It follows the standard naming practice.
B. It is more accurate and scientific in terms of statistics.
C. It encouraged them to embark on a political career.
D. It is free from racial biases.

Cet-6-1.20-Exercise 02“The grim economy seems to make the participants keener than ever to think ‘out of the box’ in the way poetry encourages,” he told me. I’m not suggesting that poetry will guide our legislators to wisdom any more than prayer has. Just that it might make them a little more human. Poetry is no substitute for courage or competence, but properly applied, it is a challenge to self-certainty, which we currently have in excess. Poetry serves as a spur to creative thinking, a reproach to dogma and habit, a remedy to the current fashion for pledge signing. What was the impact of the poetry session on the program participants according to Professor Filreis?

A. It led them to think poetry indispensable to management.
B. It inspired them to view things from broader perspectives.
C. It can help to locate profitable niches.
D. It is noted for its detailed data analysis.
