Text 1 In spite of the common belief, there is no evidence that accidents are more likely to occur on Friday the 13th. In contrast, related research has demonstrated that actually fewer accidents happen on that day. Recent reports prepared by an insurance company revealed that there were fewer incidents of fire and theft on Fridays the 13th than on any other Fridays of the same year. It is highly probable that this reduction in the number of various types of accidents is due to the fear of Friday the 13th. If people are more cautious on Friday the 13th, then fewer accidents are likely to occur.

2 Now that there is no clear indicator that Friday the 13th is more dangerous than any other day of the year, why do so many people think that it brings bad luck? Though the historical or folk traditions discussed earlier may have something to do with this belief, people might use associational connections to justify their superstition. If a superstitious person loses his wallet on Tuesday the 21st, he or she would not probably assign any meaning to the date. On the other hand, if this happened on Friday the 13th, then he or she might think that the nature of Friday the 13th is true.

60. Which of the following is TRUE about Friday 13th?

A. It causes a decrease in several sorts of accidents. B. People avoid going out that day for daily activities. C. It really brings bad luck for people. D. No research has been conducted about it yet.

61. There are several _____ about the unluckiness of Friday the 13th.

A. insurance companies B. folk traditions C. indicators D. studies

62. The word this in paragraph 2 refers to _____. A. superstition B. Tuesday the 21st C. assigning any meaning D. losing one’s wallet

1 The banking crisis of 2008 again raised concerns that our economy is based too much on individual greed. Such an economic model, critics say, comes from a false understanding of human

nature. Human society is not made up of individuals pursuing private gain through competition with each other. The real essence of human nature lies in the social bonds that we make through family, friendships, professional associations and local communities. These bonds produce a sense of common purpose and shared values, in which groups of people strive for the things that are for the common good: a sound education, a pleasant environment to live in and a healthy population. It is this idea of shared social interests that is at the heart of the gift economy. 2 Gift economies thrived in earlier times when people lived in a world of greater abundance and when their wants were fewer. Stone Age hunter-‐gatherers had shelter and enough food and did not need many possessions – a few weapons for hunting and clothing to keep warm.

They helped each other by sharing food and tools without any expectation of payment or immediate reward. However, this is not only an idea that applies to a more primitive way of life. There are also many recent examples of the gift economy at work. In the past, American companies operating in Japan found it difficult to attract Japanese recruits, even though, compared with Japanese employers, they offered more generous wages, shorter work hours and better promotion prospects. But these factors were traditionally not so important to Japanese employees, who did not think of their services as being ‘bought’. Rather, they felt they were entering into a long-‐term – ‘gift exchange’ – relationship with their employer, which was of mutual benefit.

84. Current economic models______.

A. are not responsible for economic crises B. don’t appeal to real human nature C. are based on individuals’ cooperation D. lack economic competition by its nature

85. As stated in the text, _____ are not among the ties connecting people with one another in society.

A. family affairs B. local communities C. financial organisations D. occupational organisations

86. _____ could be regarded as a factor facilitating an ideal society in the text.

A. Good educational system B. Financial support for the society C. Free public health service D. Low bank interest rates


A-‐19

87. According to the text, gift economies pay special attention to _____. A. diversity in production B. buying as much as desired C. common social benefits D. ignoring the needs of the rich

88. Stone age hunters are mentioned in the text to _____.

A. illustrate the difference between the two economic models B. explain why they lacked some survival skills C. support the idea that people were self-‐centered D. exemplify how isolated individuals they were

89. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to _____.

A. Japanese recruits B. American companies C. Japanese employers D. generous wages

90. The word “mutual” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.

A. possible B. profitable C. destructive D. two-‐way

91. The best title for the text might be ________.

A. Primitive and Modern People B. What to do for a healthy economy C. The role of people in economies D. Economies and Human Nature

Text 2

1 Some anthropologists once thought that romance was a Western idea developed in the Middle Ages. Non-‐Western societies, they thought, were too occupied with social and family relationships rather than romance. Even in primitive tribes, love was the main concern. Today, scientists believe that romance has existed in human brains in all societies since prehistoric times. In one study, for example, men and women from Europe, Japan, and the Philippines were asked to fill out a survey to measure their experiences of passionate love. All three groups said that they felt passion with the same extreme intensity.

2 Although romantic love may be universal, its cultural reflection is not. To the Fulbe people of northern Cameroon, the men who spend too much time with their wives are insulted and looked down on. Those who fall deeply in love are thought to have fallen under a dangerous spell. For the Fulbe, to be controlled by love is seen as shameful.

3 In India, marriages have traditionally been arranged, usually by the bride’s and groom’s parents. However, today love marriages appear to be on the rise, often in defiance of traditional parents’ views. The victory of romantic love is celebrated in Bollywood films. However, most Indians still believe arranged marriages are more likely to succeed than love marriages. In one survey of Indian college students, 76 percent said they would marry someone with all the right qualities even if they weren’t in love with the person. Marriage is considered too important a step to leave to chance.

4 Some psychiatrists hypothesize that romantic love is rooted in experiences of physical closeness in childhood. These feelings of comfort and affection –for example, how we felt in our mother’s arms-‐ are written on our brain, and as adults, our constant inclination is to find them again. According to this theory, we love whom we love not so much because of the future we hope to build, but rather because of the past we hope to live again. The person who “feels right” has a certain look, smell, sound, or touch that activates very deep memories.

92. According to Paragraph 1, _________. A. Romance has existed since the beginning of history B. Romance was important for non-‐Western societies C. All societies experience romance in different ways D. Primitive societies gave more importance to social life and family

93. The word occupied in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. confused by B. worried about C. engaged with D. consisted of

94. What do Fulbe people of Cameroon think about love?

A. Men should spend too much time with their wives. B. Being controlled by love is embarrassing. C. It is universal to fall deeply in love. D. Married women are insulted and looked down on.


A-‐21

95. Which of the following is true for marriages in Indian culture?

A. Love marriages only exist in Bollywood films. B. Right qualities are necessary for love marriages. C. Love marriages appear to be declining. D. Arranged marriages are traditionally approved.

96. The word “defiance” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. defense B. reflection C. disapproval D. reliance

97. “Marriage is considered too important a step to leave to chance” in paragraph 3 probably means

___________. A. chance is an important factor in marriage B. marriage is very important, so have your chance C. marriage is an important chance in people’s lives D. marriage is very important, do not trust your chance

98. The word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to ________.

A. feelings of comfort and affection B. our mother’s arms C. adults D. some psychiatrists

99. This theory in paragraph 4 implies that _____.

A. we first fall in love during our childhood B. romantic love is closely related to our past experiences C. the person we love needs to have good characteristics D. we dream of having a good future with our love

100. The best title for the passage might be “__________”.

A. Arranged Marriages in Different Cultures B. Cultural Differences in Marriages C. Aspects of Love and Marriage D. How to Find Your True Love
