III. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, the families place them in nursing homes. They are left there in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their grown children visit them only occasionally. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth – a fictitious story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of care that elderly people need.
Because Americans are living longer than ever, more psychologists and social workers have begun to study care giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: All caregivers believe they are the best person for the job. One caregiver said that she had always been closed to her mother. Another was the oldest child. Another was the youngest child. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibilities of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believed that they had an obligation to help their relative. Some stated that helping others made them more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent.
When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services, such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the reason for this difference was fear of poverty. All ill, elderly people may live years, and medical care and nursing homes are very expensive. An elderly couple’s saving can disappear very quickly. The surviving spouse, usually the wife, can be left poverty. As a result, she often tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can.
Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when care giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing homes and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to be assertive and ask for help from others, especially siblings. Brothers and sisters are willing to help, but they do not know what to do.
We can expect to live longer lives than ever before. Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutual satisfying experience for everyone involved.

Midsummer, the celebration of the turning of the sun, has been being the highlight of the northern summer for centuries- an event full of symbolism, customs, magic and superstitions. In Finland, Midsummer night is so short as that evening duck flows into morning dawn almost unnoticed. Even in southern Finland, midnight is the best described as strong twilight. Midsummer night was, most of all, the cerebration of greenery and fruit. Nature is in a full bloom then and the day is never-ending. It was customary throughout Finland to bring branches and greenery to indoors on Midsummer Eve. Houses were so thoroughly cleaned and decorated with birch branches and flower garlands. This ‘indoor forest’ was complete when leaves on the scrubbed floor gave out a fresh forest aroma. Midsummer is still the Finns’ most important summer cerebration. They gather together around the bonfire to make dance, play and be with family and friends themselves. In some areas Midsummer poles decorated with flowers garlands and leaves are erected for the festivities. Although some of the old ceremonies are now performed only for fun, Midsummer night, as bathed in the strange white light of the North, is still mysterious.

Sigmund Fred was not a literary theorist. However, he did contribute to critical theory through both his theories and his use of art to show that the application of psychology can extend to the highest forms of cultures. Freud was always interested in literature, and he drew some of the best illustrations of his theories from classic poems and plays.
Freud saw the unconscious as the impetus of both natural and psychic activity. Therefore, the same principles operated in both, and that the same mechanisms – such as displacement and symbolization – applied. While Freud was not the first to note the importance of the unconscious mind, he was the first to attempt to coherent theory of its operation and function. He argued that the unconscious operates according to universal law and is crucial to all aspects of mental life that involve fantasy, or diversion from reality.

{[[W+bz0FkV43GmRt7u4DpvuYxd]]}
From this point of view, it is natural to apply Freudian principles to imaginative literature. Writers transform individual, unconscious fantasy into universal art – a kind of formal fantasy halfway between a reality that denies wishes and a world of imagination in which every wish is granted.
In focusing on the unconscious origins for literature, Freud was in a sense reviving the traditional idea of divine inspiration. (1) Philosophers and art theorists have often turned to such a theory of the imagination to explain multiple meanings, repetition, and any apparent disorder in art. Similarly, psychoanalysis uses the theory of the unconscious to explain examples of “disorder” in consciousness, such as dreams.
(2) This analogy allowed Freud to suggest that fantasies called art could be interpreted in the same way as dreams. Writers, as Freud noted, have always seen great significance in dreams. In his view, portrayals of dreams in works of literature supported his own theories about their structures, mechanism, and interpretation. For example, the mechanisms of displacement and symbolization obviously resemble the literary devices of metaphor and symbolism. (3)
Critics of Freud have objected that the non-logical processes of the unconscious do not resemble the conscious effort that results in work of literature. Freud would reply that while conscious thought is necessary to produce works of art, the creative source of art remain in the conscious. In this view, conscious activity merely obscures what is truly important in art. What interested Freud were the deep unconscious structure literature shares with myth and religion, as well as with dreams. The apparent individuality of literature was not as significant as its ultimate universality. (4)
