Passage 1 .9NYa|+0  
  Guthrie's contiguity principle offers practical suggestions for how to break l+nT$IPF  
babies. *Jwx,wF}4  
  One application of the thrcshoM method involves the time young children g1kYL$o4  
spend on academic activities. Young children have short attention spans, so the gpw,bV  
length of time they can sustain work on one activity is limited. Most activities rdH3!   
are scheduled to last no longer than 30 to 40 minutes. However, at the start of -DuI 6K  
the school year, attention spans quickly wane and behavior problems often +)xjw9b  
result. To apply Gutiarie's theory, a teacher might, at the start of the year, limit dtj+ av G  
activities to 15 to 20 minutes. Over the next few weeks the teacher could x^zw1e,y  
gredually increase the time students spend working on a single activity. 8IkmFXj  
  The threshold methoci also can be applied to teaching printing abd $c {fPFe-  
handwriting. When children first learn to form letters, their movements }el7@Gv  
awkward and they lack free motor coordination. The distances between lines on a[_IG-l|i4  
a page are purposely wide so children can fit the letters into the space. If paper R53^3"q~  
with narrow lines is initially introduced, students' letters would spill over the {E[t(Ig  
borders and students might become frustrated. Once students can form letters bj6;>Ezp3(  
within the larger borders, they can use paper with smaller borders to help them XL[Dmu&  
refine their skills. t"s$YB>}  
  The fatigue method can be applied when disciplining disruptive students xtBu]I)%  
who build paper airplanes and sail them across the room. The teacher can Z;<:=#  
remove the students from the classroom, We them a large stack of paper, and * Z$W"JP  
tell them to start making paper airplanes. After the students have made several |}?H$d  
airplanes, the activity should lose its attraction and paper will become a cue for JZdRAL2#v  
not building airplanes. 7gcR/HNeF  
  Some students continually race around the gym when they first enter their &]h`kvtBC  
physical education class. To employ the fatigue method, theteacher might '&+]85_&$  
decide to have these students continue to run a few more laps after the class has d_,Ql708f  
begun. ~N%+ZXh&E  
  The incompatible response method can be used with students who talk and mW$Oi++'d  
misbehave in the media center. Reading is incompatible with talking. The 's.e"F#  
media center teacher might ask the students'to find interesting books and read 0l3[?YtXc  
them while in the center. Assuming that the studentS find the books enjoyable, ^TD%l8o6  
the media center will, over time, become a cue for selecting and reading books xG;;ykh.]  
rather than for talking with other students. 2F+"v?n=\  
In a social studies class some students regularly fall asleep. The teacher =;4K5l{c  
realized that using the board and overhead projector while lecturing was very }N} Js*  
boring. Soon the teacher began to incorporate other elements into each lesson, Q}G2f4  
such as experiments, videotapes, and debates, in an attempt to involvs students ; Xf1BG r  
and raise their interest in the course. O,Tp,w T  
41. The purpose of this passage is to___ ?e m8nZ'  
A. inform     B. persuade     C. debate   D. narrate " F}dZ  
42. Guthrie identified three methods for__ q 'd]  
A. educating students       B. altering bad habits MhR`  
C. avoiding undesired action     D. forming good hobbies < =~=IZ)  
43. Which of the following is not the example of applying the threshold U3C"o|   
method? v)T# iw[  
A. Parents introduce spinach in small bites or mixed with a food than the ]tXIe?>9  
  child enjoys over time so that the child will not refuse to eat it. 2*<Zc|uNW  
B. Teachers introduce academic content in short blocks of time for young z"T+J?V/  
  children and gradually increase session length but not to where students #6 vf:94  
  become frustrated or bored. 78{9@\e"0  
C. Paper with wider lines is first used and then paper with narrow lines is PJ; WNo8  
  introduced step by step to help children learn printing and handwriting. =^GPQ _"  
D. A child might be made to throw toys until it is no longer fan by his kc0MQ TJU  
  parents in order to change his behavior of repeatedly throwing toys. Y<|JhqOXK  
44. To stop snacking while watching television, people should keep their hands :o' |%JE  
busy by sewing, painting, working crossword puzzles, and so forth. Over Yb^e7Eug  
time. watching TV becomes a cue for engaging in an activity other than p:TE##  
snac 'king. What method is used in this example? 9DJ&J{2W  
A. The threshold method.         B. The fatigue method. }2@Z{5sh)  
C. The incompatible response method.   D. The punishment method. v @|<.  
45. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that <!g]q1  
A. The incompatible response method is to force child to make unwanted n<bU'n  
  response repeatedly in presence of stimulus until he or she becomes >t)Pcf|s  
  exhausted Cyd/HTNh<  
B. The threshold method refers to introducing undesired behavior with a  :`N ZD  
  response incompatible with the undesired response so they can not be [:.wCG5  
  performed simultaneously Dc@O Mr  
C. The fatigue method means that engaging in the behavior is transformde <zR{'7L/  
  into avoiding it by introducing the stimulus at full strength so it becomes >({qgzV`  
  a cue for not performing it A[uE#T ^  
D. The fatigue method is that in presence of stimulus teachers have child jhm/ <=  
  make response incompatible with unwanted response WI4<2u;  
Passage 2 ;.Bz'Q  
The increase in global trade means that international companies cannot :-}K:ucaj  
afford to make costly advertising mistakes if they want to be competitive. E+i*u   
Understanding the language and culture of target markets in foreign %h@1lsm1+  
countries is one of the keys to successful international marketing. Too many F<k+>e  
companies, however, have jumped into foreign markets with embarrassing y 62f{ks_/  
wralts . w[ v {)  
Translation mistakes are at the heart of many blunders in international }lIc{R@H  
advertising. JY2<ECO  
General Motors, the US auto manufacturer, got a costly lesson when it m;~}}~&vQ  
introduced its Chevrole Nova to the Puerto Rican market. "Nova" is Latin for vSR&>Q%X  
new (star)" and means "star" in many languages, but in spoken Spanish it can A:< %>  
sound like "no va", meaning "it doesn't go". Few people wanted to buy a car u:f ]|Q  
with that cursed meaning. When GM changed the name to Caribe, sales UqI #F  
picked up" dramatically. iT :3e%  
Marketing blunders have also been made by food and beverage companies. 4W" A*A  
3ne American food company's friendly "Jolly Green Giant" (for advertising 4>=M"D hB  
,egetables) became something quite different when it was translated into oj djy#:  
Arabic as "Intimidating Green Ogre". = g{I`u  
When translated into German Pepsi's popular slogan, "Come Alive with :s_> y_=g  
Pepsi" came out implying "Come Alive from the Grave". No wonder customers OM[MRZEh G  
in Germany didn't rush out to buy Pepsi. Uw("+[5O0  
Successful international marketing doesn't stop with good !G-+O#W`  
ranslafions--,-other aspects of culture must be researched and understood ff W_2;j)i  
aarketers are to avoid blunders. %3a-@!|1<  
When marketers do not understand and appreciate the values, tastes,  wnokP  
geography, climate, superstitions, religion, or economy of a culture, they fail to X% 'z  
capture their target market. <2U@O` gC  
For example, an American designer tried to introduce a new pentare ihto G1z*e.+y  
the Latin American market but the product aroused little interest. The mail X} k;(rb  
reason was that the camellia used in it was traditionally used for funerals in @q'kKVJs  
many South American countries. pJ] Ix *M  
  Having awakened to the special nature of foreign advertising, companies GM6, LzH  
are becoming much more conscientious in their translations and more sensitive .n D#:86M  
to cultural distinctions. \C3I6Qx  
                        "r&,#$6W6  
The best way to prevent errors is to hire professional translators who k4ti#3W5eG  
understand the target language and its idiomatic usage, or to use a technique n4k q=Z%  
called "back translation" to reduce the possibility of blunders. g,+ e3f  
  The process uses one person to translate a message into the target LU:xmDv  
language and another to translate it back. Effective translators aim to capture ({!!b"B2  
the, overall message of an advertisement because a word-for-word duplication (t-hi8"  
of the original rarely conveys the intended meaning and often causes l53i {o  
misunderstandings. TwkT|Piw S  
In designing advertisements for other countries, messages need to be shot |q w0:c=7!  
and simple. *C*ZmC5  
They should also avoid jokes, since what is considered funny in one part XGSFG ~d  
of the world may not be so humorous in another. }:#WjH^

Passage 3 e/D{^*~S  
It is not unusual for chief executives to collect millions of dollars a year in SP%X@~d  
pay, stock options, and bonuses. In the last fifteen years, while executive Bq8#'K2i,  
remuneration rose, taxes in the highest income bracket went down. Millionaires ~}_^$l8#-Q  
are now commonplace. %],BgLhS.  
Amiability is not a prerequisite for rising to the top, and there are a zVE" 6  
number of chief executive officers with legendary bad tempers. It is not the H: (B^uH  
boss's job to worry about the well-being of his subordinates although the man |P5dv>tb F  
with many enemies wi!! be swept out more quickly in hard times; it is the e4YfJd  
company he worries about . His business savvy is supposed to be based on p cLKE ZK  
intimate knowledge of .his company and the industry .so he goes home nightly 8>C4w 5kF  
with a full briefcase. At the very top - and on the way up - executives are g}+|0FTV  
exceedingly dedicated. `:C1Wo^<  
The American executive must be capable of enough small talk to get him Z|qI[uiO  
through the social part of his schedule, but he is probably not a highly cultured s@L ;3WdO  
individual or an intellectual. Although his wife may be on the board of the Mq91HmC(@  
symphony or opera, he himself has little time for such pursuits. His reading FS"Ja`>j~  
may largely concern business and management, despite interests in other fields. &kb~N-  
Golf provides him with a sportive outlet that combines with some useful mP^B2"|q  
socializing. "(mJupI  
These days, he probably attempts some form of aerobic exercise to "keep *8)?ZZMM  
the old heart in shape" and for the same reason goes easy on butter and alcohol, 6[t<g=  
and substances thought to contribute to taking highly stressed executives out of L\4rvZa  
the running. But his doctor's admonition to "take it easy" falls on deaf eyes. He ]>~.U ~  
likes to work. He knows there are younger men nipping at his heels. j([b)k=  
Corporate head-hunting, carried on by "executive search fares," is a !>Nlp,r&~  
growing industry. America has great faith in individual talent, and dynamic and W1)SgiXnuy  
aggressive executives are so in demand that companies regularly raid each _h1bVd-  
other's managerial ranks. x;[)#>.'  
51. We can infer from the second paragraph that___ s`x2Go  
  A. promotion depends on amiability #. Dl1L/  
  B. chief executives do not work hard enough at the top level ]:f.="  
  C. it is the duty of the chief executive to look after the well-being of his 91z=ou

Passage 4 [HXd|,~_j-  
In November 1970 Yukio Mishima, together withsome of his fanatical }`whg8 fZ  
followers from the ultranationalistic Shield Society WhiCh. he had four, dod in ; |rFP  
1966, broke into the headquarters of Japan's Eastern Defense Forces armed 2QHu8mFU  
with swords and daggers, overpowered some aides, tied up the commanding #;2mP6a[  
general, and demanded that the troops be assembled to hear a speech. Mishima  ">|L<  
addressed the troops for ten minutes, inciting them to rebel against the `5t~ Vlp  
constitutional govemment imposed by the United States that had, in his words, Xa8_kv_  
"turned Japan spineless." Receiving only ridicule in response, he returned to the sN[q. M?

severed his head with a sword. The aide likewise 'killed himself and was USf;}F:-C  
5eheaded; the others surrendered. {flxZ}  
  In 1936 there had been a similar revolt and, though equally unsuccessful, ^oHK.x#{  
it had foreshadowed the repressive re,me of General Tojo that was to stage tho ;hDIoSz  
attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. That earlier revolt is the one referred to in 'vIVsv<p  
"Patriotism," one of Mishima's most powerful stories. Here life and fiction K0^+2lx  
become joined. The act of seppuku was for Mishima a fulfdlment, "the ultimate )N ^g0 L  
dream of my life." Bom of an ancient samurai family, he longed to die a hero's !]f:dWSLB  
death in accordance with the ancient samurai code; but his weak body kept him ``?Z97rH  
from service in the war, and he had to compensate through body building (he i V%tn{fc  
became expert at karate and kendo) and, most important, through the discipline Yi"jj;!^S  
writing. In his short lifetime he turned out twenty novels, thirty plays, many vw q Y;7  
essays, and more than eighty stories: he also produced, directed, and acted in p)Q='  
movies, and even sang on stage. His first book of stories, A Forest in Flower, W$Z""  
appeared in 1943, but it was Confession of a Mask (1948), dealing with the :'dH)yO  
meditations of a young man of homosexual leanings in a repressive society, that mK7eg Ao

One might ask why speculation is permitted when there is so real a danger of (JHL0Z/  
loss. The basic reason is that speculation can perform useful functions in the Bp`?inKBOd  
economy. Buying a commodity or stock in the belief that prices will rise speeds SAt{At  
market equilibrium and encourages faster entry of more suppliers. If the price %klC& _g~_  
change lagged until after an actual commodity shortage had occurred, the h`OX()N  
fluctuation would probably be sharper and more sudden. Remedial supply 7 p(^I*|  
action could not be further delayed. Similarly, if speculators foresee a surplus in DDT)l+:XP  
some commodity, their selling of futures will help drive the price down to some ([='LyH];z  
extent before the SurpluS actually occurs. When speculators foresee a shortage Yqy7__vm  
and bid up the price, they are also helphng to conserve the present supply. As Ms.1RCup  
the price goes up,less of the commodity is purchased; a rise in price "]81+ D  
encourages users to ecor, om2ze. Similarly, a lowering of price encourages users c@%:aiEl  
to buy more, thus helping to sell the surplus which is developing. e`fN+
