Belgium likes to think of itself as the home of the finest chocolate in the world. If this claim is true, then the
Place du Grand Sablon in Brussels must be the centre of the chocolate world. This square is not far from the
city's Museum of Fine Arts and some of the country's (1) chocolate shops can be found there, (2)

such internationally famous names as Wittamer, Godiva and Marcolini.

Marcolini is the most recent arrival in the square and is (3) regarded as the most fashionable

chocolate-maker in Belgium. The designers of the company's shop have evidently been (4) up
ideas from Emporio Armani a few doors down. The Marcolini shop has black walls, a white floor and staff

II. Fill each gap with a suitable word to complete the following passage. (2.0 pts)

A recent study has suggested an answer to a question that has occupied philosophers for centuries: Do
people need words in (1) to think? A tribe living in the Amazon basin could provide the answer.
The Piraha tribe may (2) small, there are only about 200 members all told, but they exhibit a
fascinating cultural peculiarity. These people have no words for numbers, (3) from "one",

"two" and "many". What is more, their words for "one" and "two" are very similar. As (4) as
anyone can tell, this tribe has never had any sort of vocabulary for numbers, but (5) appear to

survive quite well without it.

It was soon realised that these people might supply an insight (6) the way our minds work.
Studies have shown that adult members of tribe are no (7) at counting than a baby is at speaking.
When they were shown a row of objects and asked to duplicate the number they saw, they could not get
beyond two or three (8) starting to make mistakes. This applies even to adults who appear
reasonably intelligent in every other way.

So it looks as though the Piraha are not very good (9) counting simply because they do not have a

vocabulary for numbers. This would suggest that human beings in general cannot think (10) they
have no words to do so.

III. Read the passage and do the tasks below. (2.0 pts)

A. Mammals have brains so they can feel pain and fear and can react in disgust. If a wildebeest did not feel
pain, it would continue grazing as lions slowly devoured it. If an antelope (con linh duang) did not sense
fear, it would not break into a sprint at the first hint of cheetah. If a canine were not disgusted, it would not
vomit, it would not be, as the saying goes, sick as a dog.

Pain, fear and disgust are part of a mammal's survival machinery developed over tens of millions of years of
evolution. Homo sapiens (ngirai co tri tue) have, however, only been around for about 200,000 years so all
three emotional states owe something to mammal origins. If football hooligans can feel those emotions, then
so too do deer, foxes and dogs. The argument is about how 'aware' or 'conscious' non-human mammals
might be during these emotional events. When an animal knows it is being chased and starts to run, is it
obeying some instinct inherited from ancestors that knew when to flee a danger zone or does it actually
'know' to be afraid?

B. That might be the wrong question. A human startled by a strange shape in a darkened corridor
experiences a pounding heart, lungs gasping for air and a body in recoil. This is the well-known flight or
fight reaction. A human appreciates the full force of fear and has already started to counter the danger a
fraction of a second before the brain has time to absorb and order the information presented by the menacing
figure. This is because mental calculations are too slow to cope with surprise attack. Pain precedes logic.
Touch something hot and you withdraw your hand even before you have time to think about doing so. Once
again, the wisdom is after the event.

C. If human can experience the universal emotions of fear, anger, disgust, happiness and surprise, then so
can mammals. But does an animal think about its state of fear? Does it have not just a mind but a theory of
mind? Does it have a sense of its own identity and that of another being? Can it put itself in another's
animal's shoes, so to speak?

All animals communicate, but only humans have language. The puzzle remains: do animals think? Can they
think about abstractions, about the past or about other animals? Researchers have wrestled with a series of
experiments to see whether animals are capable of behaving as if they had the capacity to learn, the will to
improvise and the ability to guess what other animals are thinking. Dogs show a remarkable capacity to
guess human intentions correctly. Dogs, however, have lived intimately with humans for 15,000 years, so
are unlikely to make idea! test subjects.

D. Primates, humanity's closest relatives, show unexpected abilities. Researchers from St Andrews in 1999
counted 39 different ways in which chimpanzees deal with food. Since these differ according to group and
geography, they have used the word 'culture' to describe these differing methods. One female chimpanzee in
Kyoto, convinced researchers that she could place Arabic numerals in ascending order one to nine. Monkeys
astonished a team at Columbia University in New York in 1998 by distinguishing groups of objects
numbering one to four. Chimpanzees in large captive colonies forge alliances, switch sides and double-cross
each other. They have also been seen in the wild systematically searching for leaves that have a medical
effect. From such observations, a new branch of research has been born. It is called zoopharmacognosy.

E. Chimpanzees and humans share a common ancestor, and 98% of their DNA. Do more distant mammal
relatives share the capacity for cogitation? Several years ago, Keith Kendrick at the Babraham Institute in
Cambridge astonished the world by revealing that sheep could recognize up to 50 other sheep and up to ten
human faces for at least two years after first seeing them. If a sheep can tell the difference between its flock
members from flash cards and screen pictures, it must surely have a sense of these other creatures even when
they are not there. Perhaps this means it also has an idea of 'self.

F. More disconcertingly, pigs have demonstrated their own theory of mind. Mike Mendl of Bristol
University reveals astonishing evidence at the British Association science festival in 2002. A larger and
stronger pig that did not know where food was hidden had learned to follow a weaker, but better informed
pig, to the trough. At this point the weaker pig would start to use distracting behaviour to keep the bully pig
guessing, and only lunge for the rations when not being watched. It seems the smaller pig could guess what
the other was thinking and outsmart it. In a human, this is what we call 'intelligence'.

G. One of the animal world's highest achievers, however, is not a mammal at all. Betty the crow lives in an
Oxford laboratory. She repeatly picks up a straight piece of wire, bends it into a hook and uses the hook to lift an
appetising treat from a tube too deep for her beak. Before achieving this feat for the first time, she had never
previously seen a piece of wire. So an animal far removed from humankind could identify a challenge,
contemplate a simple matter of physics, identify a tool shape, select a raw material, make a tool and retrieve the
reward. Birds are cousins not of mammals but of dinosaurs. Humans and birds last shared a common ancestor
200 million years ago. Experiments like these confirm, over and over again, that other mammals are more like us
than we thought. It becomes increasingly difficult to know just what it is that makes humans different.

You may use any letter more than once.

6. acknowledgement that inherited abilities should not be seen as a measure of intelligence
7. an explanation of what happens when a person is frightened

8. an account of how one animal got the better of another
Answer the following questions

9. According to the text, name two animals successfully completed numerical tasks?
10. What type of tool did Betty the crow make from a piece of wire?
