Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.

Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the
demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs
small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues,
and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the
Small Business Administration, has noted. “The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and
the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur.”

What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees

in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from most
executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, “In the 1970s women believed if
they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they have found out that
isn’t going to happen, so they go out on their own.”

to hold the company’s cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several
bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK
began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.

Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face
hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still
dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small.

But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtizig in the years ahead.

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.

Scientists believe that dinosaurs came into being about 180 million years ago and died out about 60
million years ago. Since dinosaurs were reptiles, they must have developed from reptiles that lived before
them.

The first reptiles appeared long before the dinosaurs. They were able to live in water and on land. They
hatched eggs and the young ones had legs and lungs. They could breathe air and probably ate insects.

Then the other reptiles became larger and stronger. Some looked like big lizards and others like turtles.
They had short tails, thick legs and big heads. They ate plants.

The first dinosaurs to develop resembled their reptile ancestors. They were slender and probably no
bigger than a turkey and, like a turkey, they walked on their hind legs. Some kinds remained small, but others
grew heavier and longer. There were even a few that were six meters long, weighing as much as an elephant.
They had small heads and short, blunt teeth, which were only good for eating plants. They lived in low,
swampy places.

Then came the next period in the Age of the Reptiles. Some of the plant-eating dinosaurs became so
large that even four legs could not support them on land. These were the largest of all the reptiles. The largest
dinosaurs were probably the biggest animals that ever walked the Earth. They had to spend most of their lives
in rivers and swamps. One of these giants was the Brontosaurus, 25 meters long and weighing about 40,000
kilograms!

At the same time, other dinosaurs were able to walk about on land. One of these, the Allosaurus, was
10 meters long, had sharp teeth and claws and fed on the Brontosaurus and other plant eaters!

Dinosaurs developed in many different ways, but none of them ever developed a good brain. One of
the reasons dinosaurs disappears may be that they were just not bright enough to know how to survive and
escape from all their natural enemies. But some scientists believe that changes in the Earth and in climate
killed off the dinosaurs. Swamps dried up and mountains appeared, making life difficult for dinosaurs that
couldn’t live on dry land. Also, changes in climate produced changes in vegetation, and since many dinosaurs
were plant eaters, their food supply disappeared. Finally as the Earth began to have seasons, shifting from hot
summers to snowy winters, dinosaurs could not fit themselves to these changes and gradually became extinct.
There are other scientists who believe that the dinosaurs disappeared because of an incident that
happened 65 million years ago. An enormous and very heavy asteroid hit the Earth. There was a huge
explosion and this caused tons of dust to be blasted into the Earth’s atmosphere. There was such a thick layer
of dust covering our Earth that it blocked out sunlight for as long as five years. That was how plants died and
the dinosaurs were deprived of food. Eventually they starved to death.
