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 34 to 40.
Leisure activity isn't just for fun, says a University of Florida psychologist who has developed a scale
that classifies hobbies and avocations based on needs they satisfy in people. The scale can help people find
more personal fulfillment by giving them insight into what they really like and by helping them to find
substitutes when they can't pursue their favorite activities. "The surprising thing is that activities you might
think are very different have similar effects on people," said Howard E.A. Tinsley, a UF psychology professor
who developed the measurement. "Probably no one would consider acting to have the same characteristics as
roller-skating or playing baseball, but men and women who act as a hobby report feeling an intense sense of
belonging to a group, much the same way others do in playing sports."
And activities providing the strongest sense of competition are not sports, but card, arcade and computer
games, he found. Taking part in soccer satisfies our desire for a sense of "belonging" and coin collecting and
baking fulfill their need for "creativity." "With so many people in jobs they don't care for, leisure is a prized
aspect of people's lives," Tinsley said. "Yet it's not something psychologists really study. Economists tell us
how much money people spend skiing, but nobody explains what it is about skiing that is really appealing to
people. Or how one activity relates to another, perhaps in unexpected ways," Tinsley said. Fishing, generally
considered more of an outdoor or recreational activity, for example, is a form of self-expression like quilting
or stamp collecting, because it gives people the opportunity to express some aspect of their personality by

doing something completely different from their daily routine, he said.

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 39 to 45.

Leisure activity isn't just for fun, says a University of Florida psychologist who has developed a scale
that classifies hobbies and avocations based on needs they satisfy in people. The scale can help people find
more personal fulfillment by giving them insight into what they really like and by helping them to find
substitutes when they can't pursue their favorite activities. "The surprising thing is that activities you might
think are very different have similar effects on people," said Howard E.A. Tinsley, a UF psychology professor
who developed the measurement. "Probably no one would consider acting to have the same characteristics as
roller-skating or playing baseball, but men and women who act as a hobby report feeling an intense sense of
belonging to a group, much the same way others do in playing sports."
And activities providing the strongest sense of competition are not sports, but card, arcade and computer
games, he found. Taking part in soccer satisfies our desire for a sense of "belonging" and coin collecting and
baking fulfill their need for "creativity." "With so many people in jobs they don't care for, leisure is a prized
aspect of people's lives," Tinsley said. "Yet it's not something psychologists really study. Economists tell us
how much money people spend skiing, but nobody explains what it is about skiing that is really appealing to
people. Or how one activity relates to another, perhaps in unexpected ways," Tinsley said. Fishing, generally
considered more of an outdoor or recreational activity, for example, is a form of self-expression like quilting
or stamp collecting, because it gives people the opportunity to express some aspect of their personality by
doing something completely different from their daily routine, he said.
