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.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, was from a wealthy, well-known
family. As a child, he attended private school, had private tutors, and traveled with his parents to
Europe. He attended Harvard University, and afterward studied law. At age 39 Roosevelt suddenly
developed polio, a disease that left him without the full use of his legs for the rest of his life. Even
through the worst of his illness, however, he continued his life in politics. In 1924 he appeared at
the Democratic National Convention to nominate Al Smith for president, and eight years after that

he himself was nominated for the same office. Roosevelt was elected to the presidency during the
Great Depression of the 1930s, at a time when more than 5,000 banks had failed and thousands of
people were out of work. Roosevelt took action. First he declared a bank holiday that closed all
the banks so no more could fail; then he reopened the banks little by little with government
support. Roosevelt believed in using the full power of government to help what he called the
"forgotten people." And it was these workers, the wage earners, who felt the strongest affection
toward Roosevelt. There were others, however, who felt that Roosevelt's policies were destroying
the American system of governments, and they opposed him in the same intense way that others
admired him.
In 1940 the Democrats nominated Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term. No president in
American history had ever served three terms, but Roosevelt felt an obligation not to quit while
the United States' entry into World War II was looming in the future. He accepted the nomination
and went on to an easy victory.
Question 25: What does the passage mainly discuss?

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.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their
actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to
respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey
our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows (‘aibrau; eyslash) and rounding the mouth
say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional
expression has centered on such questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand
substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that
humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological

heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness
on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland,
Sumatra, the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages north of
the Artie Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least
seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are,
however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control
emotional responses - especially negative ones - while many American children are encouraged to
express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show

themselves, to some degree, in people’s behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial
expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention
to facial expressions, and by the age of five they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading
emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities
to express and interpret a basic set of human emotion. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out
over a century ago, some emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For
example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For
Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an
American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean
embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expression.
Question 37: Smiles and frowns_________.
A. have different meaning in different cultures. B. are universal expressions across cultures.
C. do not convey the same emotions in various cultures. D. are not popular everywhere.
Question 38: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to_________.
A. display their emotions openly
B. change their behaviour
C. conceal their positive emotions

D. control their emotions

A. the fact children can control their feelings. B. human facial expressions
C. a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions.
D. the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions.
