The effect of bullying can be serious and even lead to tragedy. Unfortunately, it is still a mostly unresearched area.
4 1 That year two shotgun-wielding students, both of whom had been identified as gifted and who had been bullied for years, killed 13 people, wounded 24 and then committed suicide. A year later an analysis by the US government found that bullying played a major role in more than two-thirds of the campus violence.
4 2 Numerous dictators and invaders throughout history have tried to justify their bullying behavior by claiming that they themselves were bullied. 4 3 Although it is no justification for bullying, many of the worst humans in history have indeed been bullies and victims of bullying.
Since bullying is mostly ignored, it may provide an important clue in crowd behavior and passer-by behavior. 4 4 Many of them have suggested bullying as one of the reasons of this decline in emotional sensitivity and acceptance of violence as normal. When someone is bullied, it is not only the bully and the victim who are becoming less sensitive to violence. 45 In this sense, bullying affects not only the bullied but his friends and classmates and the whole society.
(A) Hitler, for example, is claimed to have been a victim of bullying in his childhood.
(B) Campus bullying is becoming a serious problem in some high schools in big cities.
(C) The friends and classmates of the bully and the victim may accept the violence as normal.
(D) Research indicates that bullying may form a chain reaction and the victim often becomes the bully.
(E) Psychologists have been puzzled by the inactivity of crowds and bystanders in urban centers when crimes occur in crowded places.
(AB) The link between bullying and school violence has attracted increasing attention since the 1999 tragedy at a Colorado high school.

On December 1, 1955, a black woman called Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, after refusing to give up
her seat on a bus to a white person. At the time, the segregation laws said black Americans had to leave their seats if there were
white passengers standing. Mrs. Parks later said she was tired of accepting this kind of oppression and felt she shouldn't have to stand up.
It was not the first time Mrs. Parks had defied the law on segregation. In 1943, she was thrown off a bus for refusing to get on through the back door, which was reserved for black passengers. She became known to other drivers who sometimes refused to let her on. In fact, the bus driver who called the police in 1955 was the same one who had thrown her off twelve years previously.
Five days later, Mrs. Parks appeared in court and was fined $10. That day, however, was the start of an important event in American civil rights history. In support of Mrs. Parks, thousands of black residents of Montgomery stopped taking the city's buses. In fact, nearly all Montgomery's 40,000 black citizens took part in the protest, which lasted for 381 days.
Rosa Parks also received support from Dr. Martin Luther-King and the Civil Rights Movement. Through her role in starting the bus protest, she helped promote international awareness of racial segregation in the American South. She also helped to speed up changes in the law that ended this type of injustice.
( ) 46. In the 1950s, there were laws in Alabama to _______.
(A) prevent black people from taking buses (B) prevent white people from standing on buses (C) keep white and black people separate (D) make sure that all bus drivers were black ( ) 47. Why did Rosa Parks refuse to stand up on the bus?
(A) She had already paid for her bus ticket. (B) She didn't like the way she was being treated.
(C) The law said that she could not be forced to. (D) She was feeling tired and needed to sit.
( ) 48. When Rosa Parks was thrown off the bus in 1955, _______.
(A) it had happened to her before (B) many people were surprised
(C) the bus driver broke the law (D) she got on a different bus
( ) 49. The black citizens of Montgomery stopped taking buses _______.
(A) for five days (B) for more than a year. (C) if there were no seats (D) that were not legal ( ) 50. What does the passage say about the effects of Rosa Parks' action?

Coffee experts are willing to pay large sums of money for high-quality coffee beans. The high-end beans, such as Kona or Blue Mountain, are known to cost extraordinary sums of money. Then there is Kopi Lowak (translated as “Civet Coffee”), the world’s most expensive coffee, which sells for as much as US $50 per quarter-pound.
This isn’t particularly surprising, given that approximately 500 pounds a year of Kopi Lowak constitute the entire world supply. What is surprising is why this particular coffee is so rare. In fact, it’s not the plants that are rare. It’s the civet droppings. That’s right, the civet droppings—the body waste of the palm civet. Coffee beans aren’t Kopi Lowak until they’ve been digested and come out in the body waste of the palm civet.
Palm civets are tree-dwelling, raccoon-like little animals, native to Southeast Asia and the Indonesian islands. They also have a love for coffee cherries. According to Kopi Lowak suppliers, palm civets eat the fruit whole, but only digest the outer fruit, leaving the beans intact.
While the beans are not destroyed, they undergo a transformation in the animal’s body. A chemical substance in the digestive system of the palm civet causes some changes to the beans to give them a unique flavor. However, this is not the only explanation why coffee beans retrieved from civet droppings have a special flavor all their own. Another possible reason is that palm civets have an unfailing instinct for picking the coffee cherries at the peak of their ripeness.
Kopi Lowak is reported to have a character in taste unlike any other coffee, complex with caramel undertones and an earthy or gamey flavor. Currently, most of the world’s supply of Kopi Lowak is sold in Japan, though a few US markets are also starting to stock up on Kopi Lowak.
51. What does “This” in the second paragraph refer to?
(A) Civet Coffee. (B) Blue Mountain coffee. (C) The high price of Kopi Lowak. (D) The unique taste of Kona.
52. Why is Kopi Lowak expensive?
(A) There is a very limited supply of the beans. (B) The coffee trees that grow the beans are scarce.
(C) It takes a long time for the coffee beans to ripen. (D) Only a few experts know how to produce the beans.
(A) Why palm civets like the coffee beans. (B) Where Kopi Lowak is mainly harvested.
(C) What chemicals are found in the civet’s digestive system. (D) How palm civets change coffee fruit to Kopi Lowak beans.
54. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?
(A) Little palm civets eat only the outer layer of the coffee cherries.
(B) Palm civets somehow know the right time when the coffee fruit ripens.
(C) Kopi Lowak is most popular in Southeast Asia and the Indonesian islands.
(D) Kona and Blue Mountain are the most expensive coffees but only of average quality.
