Passage 1 ?/hS1yD;  
  Guthrie's contiguity principle offers practical suggestions for how to break n[y^S3}%;  
babies. =x(k)RTDu  
  One application of the thrcshoM method involves the time young children rP"Y .;s  
spend on academic activities. Young children have short attention spans, so the }7{( o-  
length of time they can sustain work on one activity is limited. Most activities mAIl)mq|g  
are scheduled to last no longer than 30 to 40 minutes. However, at the start of S7cD}yx*[  
the school year, attention spans quickly wane and behavior problems often (k"0/*F4_  
result. To apply Gutiarie's theory, a teacher might, at the start of the year, limit 7T!t*sSO'  
activities to 15 to 20 minutes. Over the next few weeks the teacher could #_3-(H5u  
gredually increase the time students spend working on a single activity. 3|G~_'`RLt  
  The threshold methoci also can be applied to teaching printing abd asp\4-?$o  
handwriting. When children first learn to form letters, their movements w kPomTO  
awkward and they lack free motor coordination. The distances between lines on I3x+pa^]2  
a page are purposely wide so children can fit the letters into the space. If paper "iK'O =M  
with narrow lines is initially introduced, students' letters would spill over the |rhB@k  
borders and students might become frustrated. Once students can form letters &,l7wK  
within the larger borders, they can use paper with smaller borders to help them 9T`YHA'g  
refine their skills. &lzCRRnvt  
  The fatigue method can be applied when disciplining disruptive students f1o^:}5x  
who build paper airplanes and sail them across the room. The teacher can F60m]NUM)c  
remove the students from the classroom, We them a large stack of paper, and l#+@!2z  
tell them to start making paper airplanes. After the students have made several i \lr KA  
airplanes, the activity should lose its attraction and paper will become a cue for Z.aeE*Hs$  
not building airplanes. |Df`Aq(eYJ  
  Some students continually race around the gym when they first enter their tI9p2!  
physical education class. To employ the fatigue method, theteacher might ~Z#\f5yv@  
decide to have these students continue to run a few more laps after the class has |-GbHfz  
begun. duCXCX^n T  
  The incompatible response method can be used with students who talk and C^U>{jf !  
misbehave in the media center. Reading is incompatible with talking. The += gU`<\  
media center teacher might ask the students'to find interesting books and read >w\3.6A  
them while in the center. Assuming that the studentS find the books enjoyable, Yc5) ^v  
the media center will, over time, become a cue for selecting and reading books w5Ucj*A\  
rather than for talking with other students. w/(2fU(  
In a social studies class some students regularly fall asleep. The teacher y{tM|  
realized that using the board and overhead projector while lecturing was very $"Ci{iE  
boring. Soon the teacher began to incorporate other elements into each lesson, su8()]|0x  
such as experiments, videotapes, and debates, in an attempt to involvs students [,z>msEB.  
and raise their interest in the course. W7T2j+]  
41. The purpose of this passage is to___ /KO2y0`  
A. inform     B. persuade     C. debate   D. narrate 9Z3Y,`R,  
42. Guthrie identified three methods for__ "!Hm.^1  
A. educating students       B. altering bad habits  /zir$  
C. avoiding undesired action     D. forming good hobbies 5* ~E dT  
43. Which of the following is not the example of applying the threshold GN|xd+O_  
method? : +fW#:  
A. Parents introduce spinach in small bites or mixed with a food than the Nb>C5TjR  
  child enjoys over time so that the child will not refuse to eat it. Thp!X/2O`  
B. Teachers introduce academic content in short blocks of time for young +/#Lm#*nu%  
  children and gradually increase session length but not to where students FJ sg3D*@J  
  become frustrated or bored. K!!#";Eo  
C. Paper with wider lines is first used and then paper with narrow lines is If@%^'^ON=  
  introduced step by step to help children learn printing and handwriting. re@OPiXa v  
D. A child might be made to throw toys until it is no longer fan by his Novn#0a  
  parents in order to change his behavior of repeatedly throwing toys. m&6)Vt  
44. To stop snacking while watching television, people should keep their hands }/%^;@q;  
busy by sewing, painting, working crossword puzzles, and so forth. Over =l}XKl->  
time. watching TV becomes a cue for engaging in an activity other than $-mwr,i  
snac 'king. What method is used in this example? nrz2f7d$  
A. The threshold method.         B. The fatigue method. Jn1(-  
C. The incompatible response method.   D. The punishment method. p=f8A71  
45. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that +H3;{ h9,  
A. The incompatible response method is to force child to make unwanted qMcOSZ%8J  
  response repeatedly in presence of stimulus until he or she becomes :k oXS  
  exhausted Hl*/s  
B. The threshold method refers to introducing undesired behavior with a $4rMYEn08  
  response incompatible with the undesired response so they can not be um mkAeWb  
  performed simultaneously E&2mF g  
C. The fatigue method means that engaging in the behavior is transformde "]1| %j  
  into avoiding it by introducing the stimulus at full strength so it becomes P&8QKX3 j^  
  a cue for not performing it c_.4~>qw  
D. The fatigue method is that in presence of stimulus teachers have child L t.Vo  
  make response incompatible with unwanted response `F' >NNY  
Passage 2 X!/  
The increase in global trade means that international companies cannot /m+\oZ ]d  
afford to make costly advertising mistakes if they want to be competitive. ^CQVqa${]  
Understanding the language and culture of target markets in foreign sT%^ W  
countries is one of the keys to successful international marketing. Too many ^-pHhh|g  
companies, however, have jumped into foreign markets with embarrassing Uz; pNW Mk  
wralts . '?v-o)X  
Translation mistakes are at the heart of many blunders in international SRpPLY{:F  
advertising. C\C*' l6d  
General Motors, the US auto manufacturer, got a costly lesson when it Zjkrne{  
introduced its Chevrole Nova to the Puerto Rican market. "Nova" is Latin for 'hH3d"a^=  
new (star)" and means "star" in many languages, but in spoken Spanish it can *Z=:?4u  
sound like "no va", meaning "it doesn't go". Few people wanted to buy a car , aQ{  
with that cursed meaning. When GM changed the name to Caribe, sales /?g:`NT  
picked up" dramatically. IA?v[xu  
Marketing blunders have also been made by food and beverage companies. M?zwXmTVW0  
3ne American food company's friendly "Jolly Green Giant" (for advertising 9 54O=9PQ  
,egetables) became something quite different when it was translated into \4pWHE/  
Arabic as "Intimidating Green Ogre". Z4'8x h)-  
When translated into German Pepsi's popular slogan, "Come Alive with A +J&(7N  
Pepsi" came out implying "Come Alive from the Grave". No wonder customers G^=C#9c.m  
in Germany didn't rush out to buy Pepsi. [qGj*`@C  
Successful international marketing doesn't stop with good R#i{eE*WF  
ranslafions--,-other aspects of culture must be researched and understood ff ,"Nfo`7  
aarketers are to avoid blunders. NU?05sF  
When marketers do not understand and appreciate the values, tastes, MehMhH Y  
geography, climate, superstitions, religion, or economy of a culture, they fail to 3BWYSJ|  
capture their target market. :#=XT9  
For example, an American designer tried to introduce a new pentare ihto uzpW0(_i3a  
the Latin American market but the product aroused little interest. The mail )cd5iE:FO  
reason was that the camellia used in it was traditionally used for funerals in BYBf`F)4  
many South American countries. %qf ?_2v  
  Having awakened to the special nature of foreign advertising, companies _R?:?{r,  
are becoming much more conscientious in their translations and more sensitive LmQS;/:  
to cultural distinctions. $8"G9r  
                        chr^ >%Q_  
The best way to prevent errors is to hire professional translators who p Y[dJxB  
understand the target language and its idiomatic usage, or to use a technique vUU)zZB ~  
called "back translation" to reduce the possibility of blunders. 4)XZ'~|  
  The process uses one person to translate a message into the target sF`ELrR \  
language and another to translate it back. Effective translators aim to capture ^ YLk&A)X  
the, overall message of an advertisement because a word-for-word duplication .+ w#n<  
of the original rarely conveys the intended meaning and often causes CtO`t5  
misunderstandings. KPcOW#.T  
In designing advertisements for other countries, messages need to be shot 1D/ 9lR,  
and simple. x&SG gl  
They should also avoid jokes, since what is considered funny in one part 'nO%1BZj+  
of the world may not be so humorous in another. mrgieb%

Passage 3 ?G48GxJ  
It is not unusual for chief executives to collect millions of dollars a year in vU X(h.}8  
pay, stock options, and bonuses. In the last fifteen years, while executive LZ97nvK  
remuneration rose, taxes in the highest income bracket went down. Millionaires &rcC7v K9  
are now commonplace. H R/"Nwr  
Amiability is not a prerequisite for rising to the top, and there are a A1mxM5N  
number of chief executive officers with legendary bad tempers. It is not the X/5\L.g2  
boss's job to worry about the well-being of his subordinates although the man &_L FV@/  
with many enemies wi!! be swept out more quickly in hard times; it is the !yo/ F& 6  
company he worries about . His business savvy is supposed to be based on qM."W=XVN  
intimate knowledge of .his company and the industry .so he goes home nightly ~s :M l  
with a full briefcase. At the very top - and on the way up - executives are 8hTtBa  
exceedingly dedicated. y?t2@f]!XK  
The American executive must be capable of enough small talk to get him N^G:m~>  
through the social part of his schedule, but he is probably not a highly cultured v-V#?+#  
individual or an intellectual. Although his wife may be on the board of the t3~ZGOn  
symphony or opera, he himself has little time for such pursuits. His reading Qj?qWVapA  
may largely concern business and management, despite interests in other fields. Auq)  
Golf provides him with a sportive outlet that combines with some useful | JmEI9n2  
socializing. w4:  
These days, he probably attempts some form of aerobic exercise to "keep -|?I'~[#(  
the old heart in shape" and for the same reason goes easy on butter and alcohol, #s'UA!)  
and substances thought to contribute to taking highly stressed executives out of Q: H`TSR]  
the running. But his doctor's admonition to "take it easy" falls on deaf eyes. He /~ ,|zz  
likes to work. He knows there are younger men nipping at his heels. [<HU ~P P  
Corporate head-hunting, carried on by "executive search fares," is a KRY%B[k  
growing industry. America has great faith in individual talent, and dynamic and 'u \my  
aggressive executives are so in demand that companies regularly raid each *u2pk>y)  
other's managerial ranks. X-tc Ud  
51. We can infer from the second paragraph that___ MOiTz L*  
  A. promotion depends on amiability yFIB/ln:  
  B. chief executives do not work hard enough at the top level VSK!Pc.G}  
  C. it is the duty of the chief executive to look after the well-being of his (QO8_

  D. a chief executive is expected to know more about his company and the /M:R|91:_

In November 1970 Yukio Mishima, together withsome of his fanatical (x} >tm  
followers from the ultranationalistic Shield Society WhiCh. he had four, dod in zEG6T*  
1966, broke into the headquarters of Japan's Eastern Defense Forces armed [dG&"%5vD

After Mishima had driven a dagger deep into his left abdomen, one of his aides !+sC'/

  In 1936 there had been a similar revolt and, though equally unsuccessful, = NHE_ 4/p  
it had foreshadowed the repressive re,me of General Tojo that was to stage tho [}xVz"8V  
attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. That earlier revolt is the one referred to in B3 x4sK s  
"Patriotism," one of Mishima's most powerful stories. Here life and fiction baLO~C  
become joined. The act of seppuku was for Mishima a fulfdlment, "the ultimate ~q5aMy d<  
dream of my life." Bom of an ancient samurai family, he longed to die a hero's F52%og~N  
death in accordance with the ancient samurai code; but his weak body kept him k|C~qe3E  
from service in the war, and he had to compensate through body building (he {e'P* j  
became expert at karate and kendo) and, most important, through the discipline 6Zr_W#SE  
writing. In his short lifetime he turned out twenty novels, thirty plays, many u|;?FQ$M  
essays, and more than eighty stories: he also produced, directed, and acted in ldd8'2  
movies, and even sang on stage. His first book of stories, A Forest in Flower, JD`IPQb~E

One might ask why speculation is permitted when there is so real a danger of 'Q dDXw5o  
loss. The basic reason is that speculation can perform useful functions in the iw{rns  
economy. Buying a commodity or stock in the belief that prices will rise speeds LOEiV  
market equilibrium and encourages faster entry of more suppliers. If the price ["H2H rI2  
change lagged until after an actual commodity shortage had occurred, the 5F78)q u6N  
fluctuation would probably be sharper and more sudden. Remedial supply zHX7%x,Cq  
action could not be further delayed. Similarly, if speculators foresee a surplus in "oT&KW   
some commodity, their selling of futures will help drive the price down to some adtgNwg  
extent before the SurpluS actually occurs. When speculators foresee a shortage M,vCAZ  
and bid up the price, they are also helphng to conserve the present supply. As 7P bwCRg  
the price goes up,less of the commodity is purchased; a rise in price $/kZKoF{f  
encourages users to ecor, om2ze. Similarly, a lowering of price encourages users gl~9|$ivj>  
to buy more, thus helping to sell the surplus which is developing. ,UNnz&H+f
