The effect of bullying can be serious and even lead to tragedy. Unfortunately, it is still a mostly unresearched area.

__16__ 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.

__17__ Numerous dictators and invaders throughout history have tried to justify their bullying behavior by claiming that they themselves were bullied. __18__

When someone is bullied, it is not only the bully and the victim who are becoming less sensitive to violence. __20__ In this sense, bullying affects not only the bullied but his friends and classmates and the whole society.

With one out of every two American marriages ending in divorce, custody of children has become an issue in the American society. Up until the late 1970s, it had been common practice in the United States to automatically _21_ custody to the mother when a divorce occurred.

However, since the 1970s, this practice has been _22_. Most custody battles today are decided, in theory, on the basis of who is the more fit parent for the child.

The reality, nevertheless, is that most women still win custody of their children in a _23_.

This legal change was the result of the social changes that _24_ in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. These changes challenged many of the _25_ roles men and women were expected to play. As a _26_, it is not uncommon nowadays to

(4)

find women working outside their homes and being very _27_ about their careers and personal lives. It is also not _28_ to see men accepting roles that were once considered the exclusive domain of women, such as shopping for groceries, driving their children to and from school, or cleaning their homes.

Because of the _29_ in the divorce rate, the change in the roles that men and women are expected to play, and the changing attitude of the judicial system toward child custody, more men have started to _30_ for and win custody of their children when divorce occurs.

There is a long-held belief that when meeting someone, the more eye contact we have with the person, the better. The result is an unfortunate tendency for people making initial contact—in a job interview, for example—to stare fixedlyat the other individual. However, this behavior is likely to make the interviewer feel very uncomfortable. Most of us are comfortable with eye contact lasting a few seconds.

But eye contact which persists longer than that can make us nervous.

Another widely accepted belief is that powerful people in a society—often men—show their dominance over others by touching them in a variety of ways. In fact, research shows that in almost all cases, lower-status people initiate touch.

Women also initiate touch more often than men do.

The belief that rapid speech and lying go together is also widespread and enduring. We react strongly—and suspiciously—to fast talk. However, the opposite is a greater cause for suspicion. Speech that is slow, because it is laced with pauses or errors, is a more reliable indicator of lying than the opposite.

31. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

(A) Rapid speech without mistakes is a reliable sign of intelligence.

(B) Women often play a more dominant role than men in a community.

(C) Speaking slowly is more often a sign of lying than speaking quickly.

(D) Touching tends to be initiated first by people of higher social positions.

(A) award (B) challenged (C) concerned (D) consequence (E) divorce (F) fight (G) increase (H) took place (I) traditional (J) unusual

32. What is true about fixing your eyes on a person when you first meet him/her?

(A) Fixing your eyes on the person will make him/her feel at ease.

(B) It is more polite to fix your eyes on him/her as long as you can.

(C) Most people feel uneasy to have eye contact for over a few seconds.

(D) It doesn’t make a difference whether you fix your eyes on him/her or not.

33. What is the main idea of the passage?

(A) People have an instinct for interpreting non-verbal communication.

(B) We should not judge the intention of a person by his body language.

(C) A good knowledge of body language is essential for successful communication.

(D) Common beliefs about verbal and non-verbal communication are not always correct.

It is easy for us to tell our friends from our enemies. But can other animals do the same? Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not.

In Kenya, researchers found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants.

In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all.

Garment color also plays a role, though in a different way. In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing.

The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional reactions are due to their different interpretations of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger

(6)

means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive.

34. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Kamba and Maasai people?

(A) Maasai people are a threat to elephants.

(B) Kamba people raise elephants for farming.

(C) Both Kamba and Maasai people are elephant hunters.

(D) Both Kamba and Maasai people traditionally wear red clothing.

35. How did the elephants react to smell in the study?

(A) They attacked a man with the smell of new clothing.

(B) They needed time to relax when smelling something unfamiliar.

(C) They became anxious when they smelled Kamba-scented clothing.

(D) They were frightened and ran away when they smelled their enemies.
