Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (31) _____ between husband
and wife. Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work opposite hours or
shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children. Since childcare is expensive, this
saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a secure environment
for the family. Husband and wife may also share household chores. Some fathers are just as capable
as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.
In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (32) _____ and the father becomes the
“househusband." These cases are still fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to
be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they
spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. “This is one of our most significant cultural
changes,” says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the Parent Child Center at the New York
Psychoanalytic Society. In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference

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 36 to 42.
Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of
payments. Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the
groceries, take place every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen
device. And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have
risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future.
What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash,
but more so. It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is
required, errors in counting are eliminated. Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it
reduces the cost of handling money. Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers. TVs and
games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily and without having to input
credit card details.
And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card
firms want to be in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactlesspayment systems. But the new system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far as the banks
are concerned. If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made every day by a
commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit card statements but on their
mobile phone statements. And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks

do not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether banks will
miss out and if so, by how much. However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic They feel
there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of the
past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as
was predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So, whether we'll
become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention.
Question 36: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. The absence of traditional payment methods
B. Predictions of future payment methods
C. Japan's advanced forms of payment
D. The increasing popularity of new payment methods
Question 37: Why does the author mention “a small flat-screen device” in the first paragraph?
A. to exemplify the e-cash system
B. to criticize the e-cash system
C. to praise the e-cash system
D. to inform the e-cash system

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 43 to 50.
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly
cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on
group organization and attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains
nearly all of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member.
There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and goals become
one, for cooperation itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterature societies, secondary
cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote
only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel

loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they
can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business
offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the
shared work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is
loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks
down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly
speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is
sometimes used for this relationship.
Question 43: What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of the passage?
A. To urge readers to cooperate more often
B. To offer a brief definition of cooperation
C. To explain how cooperation differs from competition and conflict
D. To show the importance of group organization and attitudes
Question 44: The word “cherished” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. defined
B. agreed on
C. prized
D. set up

C. It is an ideal that can never be achieved
D. It was confined to prehistoric times
Question 47: According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary
cooperation?
A. To experience the satisfaction of cooperation
B. To associate with people who have similar backgrounds
C. To get rewards for themselves
D. To defeat a common enemy
Question 48: Which of the following is an example of the third form of cooperation as it is defined in
the fourth paragraph?
A. Students form a study group so that all of them can improve their grades
B. Members of a farming community share work and the food that they grow
C. Two rival political parties temporarily work together to defeat a third party
D. A new business attempts to take customers away from an established company
