You are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the statement. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage One

Until the twentieth century, women did not often participate in sports. Part of the explanation for this is that women simply did not have time. Many women cooked, cleaned, and took care of children. They were so busy that they did not have time for sports. A second reason especially in the late nineteenth century, is that a woman’s image at that time was one of weakness, illness, and delicacy. In the Victorian era, people thought that it was unladylike for a woman to be involved in any sports activity.

There have been changes in both the view of women in the modern world, and also changes within the world of sports. These changes have allowed many more women to participate in sports. The general view of women has changed substantially since the Victorian era. Women are no longer considered delicate. People do not think it is unladylike for a woman to compete in sports. Women who win in sports activities are highly regarded. Many women now take part in sports and games of many different kinds, and enjoy doing so. This development is partly the result of a change in the image of women in the modern world.

Women are also more active in sports now because of two changes in sports. First, in the early twentieth century, women began to compete regularly in the Olympics. Also, the number of events for women in the Olympics has been growing quite steadily. The fact that women can compete in the Olympics encourages many to become active in the various Olympic activities. In more recent years, television has had a noticeable effect on the popularity of women’s professional sports. Many women’s tennis matches and golf matches are on TV, along with many other competitions. Seeing women in professional sports on TV has made certain sports much more popular among women, as amateurs and as professionals.

Passage Two

New research is trying to find how we learn and make decisions exactly. To the brain, a new thought or idea is like a spider. If it works hard enough, a web of knowledge spins out from it. Photos of the brain taken during learning actually show a kind of nerve cells firing, growing, and forming new connections. This is fascinating in itself, but what’s even more fascinating is that failure can cause this to happen.

That’s right; failure can enhance your brain.

Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck has compared the brain waves of people with growth and fixed mind-sets. She finds that, when those with growth mind-sets fail at a task, they would enter a more focused mental state. And as they try again and again, they improve. In effect, they’ve learned, and their brains have grown. Those with fixed mind-sets, however, never enter this focused state of learning and show little advancement.

Antoine Bechara, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southern California, has taken Dweck’s work a step further he recently isolated two equally sized centers in the brain. These areas interact during the decision-making process. Although more research is needed, these centers may turn out to be the physical locations for Dweck’s twin mind-sets.

“We always knew people could learn from their mistakes, but now we’re finding out exactly how and where this happens,” explains Bechara. In a normally functioning brain, failure is taken as an opportunity for learning and strengthening the species.

16. According to the passage, like a spider, a new thought or idea could ________.

A. come from hard work

B. enrich your brain

C. be very fascinating

D. form a knowledge web

17. Which of the following statements about Antoine Bechara is true?

A. He explored how human beings survive.

B. He found how the brain normally functions.

C. He probably discovered the physical locations for the twin mind-sets.

D. He studied the brain waves of people with growth and fixed mind-sets.

18. Carol Dweck’s work has something to do with ________.

A. how to take photos of the brain

B. how failure helps the brain “grow”

C. when the areas in the brain interact with each other

D. when nerve cells fire, grow, and form new connections

19. The passage is most probably from a ________.

A. laboratory journal

B. newspaper report

C. medical magazine

D. personal resume

20. The author’s tone can be best described as ________.

A. objective

B. critical

C. personal

D. official

Many people often enjoy eating out either before or after a visit to the theatre. However, most of us would rather keep the two ___21___ separate.

The man is Paul Thornton, and the place is the Hollics, an old farmhouse.

Whenever I visit a new restaurant, I feel the same excitement that keen theatre-goers must experience on opening night.

May I offer a few words of advice in case you are thinking of paying him a visit. Try not to arrive just after noon, as Mr. Thornton does not serve a normal lunch.
