Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.


Who talks more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk
more. However, linguist Deborah Tannen, who has the studied the
communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype. According

to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in private situations, where
they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationship together. But, she says,
men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange
information and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these difference
even in children. Little girls often play with one ‘best friend’ and their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups, their play
usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal
skills, while boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this
difference. Researchers studied conversation between children aged 3-6 and
their parents. They found evidence that parents talk very differently to their sons
than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use
more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their
daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also
far more talk about emotions, especially with daughters than with sons.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 35 to 41.
Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States
coins and their number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the

coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore
thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen
stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky has joined the Union. At that
time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new
state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties
of half dimes, dimes, and half-dollars were produced with sixteen starts.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became
apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from A798 on
were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each of the original colonies. Due to
an error at the mint, one variety of the A828 half cent was issued with only
twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only A2 stars, but this
is the result of a die break and is not a true error.
