The Mystery of the Electra and Oedipus Complexes

    Have you ever noticed how little kids sometimes seem to have a "favorite" parent? A young boy might want his mother’s attention all the time, while a little girl might run to her father for comfort. Psychologists Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung believed this wasn’t just a phase but part of a deeper psychological process. Freud’s Oedipus complex and Jung’s Electra complex describe how children form attachments to one parent while feeling some rivalry with the other. But how true are these ideas today?

    The Oedipus complex, named after a tragic Greek hero, suggests that boys, around ages 3-6, develop an unconscious attachment to their mothers. They might prefer spending time with her, seek her approval, and even feel jealous when she pays attention to their father. Freud believed that this was a normal stage of childhood and that boys eventually learn to respect and imitate their fathers instead of competing with them. Some psychologists say this theory helps explain why many young boys look up to their fathers as role models later in life.

    On the other hand, the Electra complex, named after another Greek mythological character, describes how young girls form a strong bond with their fathers. They might prefer their father’s company, seek his approval, or even try to act like him. This idea suggests that a girl’s relationship with her father can influence how she interacts with men later in life. However, unlike Freud’s Oedipus complex, the Electra complex was not developed in as much detail. Some psychologists question whether it happens in the same way.

    Are these complexes still relevant today? Many experts argue that children’s attachments depend more on their upbringing than unconscious desires. For example, in single-parent households, children don’t always show favoritism but instead bond deeply with the available parent. Studies also show that in families where both parents are equally involved, children tend to form balanced relationships rather than strong attachments to just one parent.

    So, while the Electra and Oedipus complexes offer interesting ideas about childhood, they don’t apply to everyone. What’s most important is that children grow up feeling loved and secure, whether they are closer to their mom, dad, or both.

Question 12. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?

A. Descriptions of the two complexes

B. Creators of the two complexes

C. Arguments against the two complexes

C. harmony

D. conflict

Question 15. The phrase they refers to _________.

A. ideas

B. complexes

C. parents

D. children

Question 16. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?

A. Conversely, the Electra complex suggests that young girls tend to oppose to attachment to their fathers inspired by a Greek mythological character.

B. In contrast, named after another character in Greek mythology, the Electra complex accounts for the strong attachment between a daughter and her father.

C. On the contrary, the Electra complex, which takes its name from a Greek mythological figure, states that young girls develop a close relationship with their fathers.

D. Similarly, the Electra complex, describes the strong emotional connection young girls often have with their fathers named after a character from Greek mythology.

Question 17. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The two complexes are both named after characters in Greek mythology.

B. The two complexes suggest that children feel equal attachment to both parents from a young age.
C. Psychologists today highly appreciate Freud and Jung’s theories as the best explanation for parent-child relationships.

D. In families where both parents share household chores, children always develop a stronger bond with the father.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 20 to 29.

Can Computers Catch Criminals?

    Have you ever seen a security camera staring at you in a shop? Well, it’s not just sitting there for decoration. Thanks to clever computer technology, some cameras can now spot bad behavior! These “smart cameras” use something called computer vision algorithms to analyze what’s happening in real time. Sounds like something from a spy movie, right? But don’t worry! They’re not watching you just for fun (unless you’re making silly faces at them).

    [I] Here’s how it works. Smart cameras are programmed to notice unusual actions, like someone grabbing something off a shelf and running out the door. [II] The computer “learns” what normal behavior looks like – walking, shopping, chatting – and then flags anything strange. [III] So, if you’re doing cartwheels in a supermarket or dancing in the frozen food aisle, the camera might think, “Wait, what’s going on here?” [IV]

    These smart cameras aren’t just for catching shoplifters. They’re also used in airports and train stations to keep people safe. For example, if someone leaves a bag unattended in a crowded area, the camera can detect it and alert security. Imagine someone suspiciously pacing back and forth near a gate at the airport. The smart camera might recognize this as unusual and send a message to human guards. It’s like giving cameras a sixth sense, though they still rely on humans to make the final call.

    But, of course, these high-tech systems aren’t perfect. Sometimes they make mistakes. Imagine you’re in a store, juggling your phone, a bag of snacks, and a water bottle, and then you trip and drop everything. The camera might think you’re causing a scene or stealing. Oops! Or let’s say you’re at a bus stop doing yoga stretches (weird but possible), and the camera decides you’re acting “too strange.” Computers don’t understand everything – they’re smart, but they’re not genius-level yet.

    So, what’s next for these super-smart cameras? Some scientists think they might one day predict crimes before they even happen – like in futuristic movies. Or maybe they’ll be used for more harmless tasks, like spotting lost pets in parks. Whatever happens, it’s clear that technology is getting smarter every day. Just remember: if you’re planning to do something goofy, you might end up confusing the camera. At least you’ll make the robot detective’s job a bit harder!

It’s like having a robot detective watching over everything!

A. Security technology is aiming at being independent of human oversight.

B. There have been advances in security technology such as smart cameras.

C. Though mistakes are inevitable, they help improve the technology.

Keeping Your Home Safe: Simple Steps to Deter Burglars

In recent times, our community has faced a rise in the number of home burglaries. This troubling trend highlights the need for all of us to take proactive steps to secure our homes and protect our loved ones. Here are several effective measures you can implement to minimize the risk of your home becoming a target for thieves.

Lock Your Doors and Windows: It may sound obvious, but the first step in home security is to ensure that all doors and windows are locked, especially when you are away or sleeping. Surprisingly, many burglaries happen because intruders simply walk through unlocked doors. Double-check locks on all entry points, and consider upgrading to high-quality deadbolts.

Light Up Your Home: A well-lit home is a major deterrent for burglars. Install motion-sensor lights around the perimeter of your house, particularly at entry points. These lights can startle potential intruders, making them think twice about breaking in.

Install an Alarm System: Alarm systems are great tools for home security. They not only alert you and your neighbors of a possible intrusion but also can directly notify the police. Many modern systems include cameras that you can monitor via your smartphone, giving you peace of mind no matter where you are.

Keep Valuables Out of Sight: Avoid leaving expensive items where they can be easily seen from outside. If a burglar sees valuable items through a window, it might tempt them more. Always store such items away from view and use curtains or blinds to cover your windows, especially at night.

Be Mindful About Social Media: Be cautious about what you post on social media. Announcing vacations or trips can signal to burglars that your house will be empty. It’s best to post about trips after you have returned home.

Get to Know Your Neighbors: Neighbors can be invaluable in keeping an eye on your home when you are not around. Joining a neighborhood watch program can significantly enhance security through mutual cooperation and alertness.

By implementing these simple measures, you can significantly lower the chances of your home being burgled. Remember, the key to home security is prevention and awareness. Let’s work together to keep our homes and community safe.
