Questions 51 - 60. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer 
to each of the following questions.

Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do. Refrigerators preserve their
food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When
they are ill, they rely on the surgeon's knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if
they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now
we had a shortage of donors to give their hearts: to keep one person alive, another donor had to die.

Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human heart, and
humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being as other animals. This includes
the life and well-being of other humans. Therefore in the early years of the 21st century - I was told - the mass
killings of monkeys may occur. We'll need to use their hearts for human consumption.

Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo Sapiens, or man. They know
fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us. They create no
unnecessary dangers for themselves; they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold - that
utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits. I have a vague feeling that it is not
monkeys' hearts that we ought to implant in ourselves but monkeys' brains.
