Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42
 The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms' bodies that are used grown larger. Those parts that are not tend to wither away. It is an observed fact that when you exercise particular muscles, they 	grow. Those that are never used dimish. By examining a man's body, we can tell which muscles he uses and 	which he doesn't. we may even be able to guess his profession or his reaction. Enthusiasts of the "body- building" cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to "build" their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture, into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture. Muscles are not the only parts of the body that respond to use in this kind of way. Walk barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles. It is easy to tell a farmer from a bank teller by looking at their hands alone. The farmer's hands are horny, hardened by long exposure to rough work. The teller's hands are relatively soft.
 The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their world, progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world. Humans, through direct exposure to sunlight, or lack of it, develop a skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local conditions.
 Too much sunlight is dangerous. Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are susceptible to skin cancer. Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and rickets. The brown pigment melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen to protect the underlying tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight. If a suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate, the melanin disappears, and the body is able to benefit from what little sun there is. This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not.
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss?
	A. How the principles of use and disuse change people's concepts of themselves.
	B. The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion.
	C. The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse.
	D. The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.
Question 37. The word "Those" in line 3 refers to___.
	A. organisms 	B. bodies 	C. parts 	D. muscles

Question 39. The word "horny" in line 9 is closest in meaning to____.
	A. firm	B. strong 	C. tough 	D. dense 
Question 40. It can be inferred from the passage that the principle of use and disuse enables organisms to____.
	A. change their existence B. automatically benefit C. survive in any condition	D. improve their lifetime
Question 41. The author suggests that melanin_____.
	A. is necessary for the production of vitamin-D	B. is beneficial in sunless climates

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions. 
 According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings. 
 The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.
Question 43. According to the passage, we respond to others by _________. 
 A. observing their looks B. observing their emotional expressions 
 C. watching their actions D. looking at their faces
Question 44. Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether __________. 
 A. different cultures have similar emotional expressions. 
 B. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar. 
 C. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth. 
rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar.

	A. reduced	B. increased	C. simplified 	D. developed 
Question 46. Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of ____________. 
 A. lacked many main ingredients 	 B. researchers on universal language
 C.researchers who can speak and understand many languages D.investigators on universal emotional expressions
Question 47. Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _______.
 A. control their emotions B. conceal their positive emotions 
 C. display their emotions openly D. change their behaviour 
Question 48. Young children _______.
 A. spend a long time learning to read others’ emotions B. are sensitive towards others’ emotions
 C. make amazing progress in controlling their emotions D. take time to control their facial expressions 
Question 49. The phrase “ this evidence” in line 24 refers to _________.
A. the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions B. human facial expressions 
C. a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions D. the fact that children can control their feelings 
Question 50. The best title for the passage is ________________.

 C. review of research on emotional expressions D. Human habit of displaying emotions
