Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is
the country’s impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were
over five in 1966. In September 1966 Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark. Most
of his surging growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930’s and the war
had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom
continued through the decade of the 1950’s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen
percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate of increase had been exceeded only
once before settle. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950’s supported a
growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier
marriages and an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate
stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world.
After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued
falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the

low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in
Canadian society. Young people were staying at school longer; more women were working;
young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising
living standards were cutting down the size of families.It appeared that Canada was once
more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the
Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution.
Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase
in the first half of the 1960’s was only nine percent), another large population wave was
coming over the horizon. It would be composed of the children who were born during the
period of the high birth rate prior to 1957.

A. Educational changes in Canadian society.
B. Canada during the Second World War.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and
its Evolutionary history. Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in
the1960’s but has become even more influential today. The origins of ethology can be traced
to the work of Darwin. Its modern foundations were laid by two European zoologists,
Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen.
Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz, and
Tinbergen observed behavior patterns that promote survival. The most well-known of these is
imprinting, the early following behavior of certain baby birds that ensures that the young will
stay close to their mother and be fed and protected from danger. Imprinting takes place
during an early, restricted time period of development. If the mother goose is not present
during this time, but an object resembling her in important features is, young goslings may
imprint on it instead . Observations of imprinting led to major concept that has been applied
in child development” the critical period . It refers to a limited times span during which the
child is biologically prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but needs the support of
suitably stimulating environment. Many researchers have conducted studies to find out
whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must be learned during restricted time
periods. for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physical and social
stimulation during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? If
language is not mastered during the preschool years, is the child’s capacity to acquire it
reduced?
Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John
Bowlby applied ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant
and its parents. He argued that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling,
grasping, and crying, are built-in social signals that encourage the parents to approach, care
for, and interact with the baby. By keeping a parent near, these behaviors help ensure that the

baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided with the stimulation and affection
necessary for healthy growth. The development of attachment in human infants is a lengthy
process involving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep affectional tie
between parent and baby.
Question 55: What was Darwin’s contribution to ethology?
A. Darwin was the first person to apply ethological theory to children.


B. Darwin’s work provided the basis for ethology.
C. Darwin was the professor who taught Lorenz and Tinbergen.
D. Darwin improved on the original principles of ethology.

Question 58: According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time
period when imprinting takes place, which of the following will most likely occur?
A. The mother will later imprint on the gosling.
B. The gosling may not find a mate when it matures.
C. The gosling will not imprint on any object.
D. The gosling may imprint on another object.
Question 59: The word “He” in line 19 refers to __________.
