Cooperation is the common endeavor of two more people to perform a task of reach a jointly cherished goad. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and attitudes.

 In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individuals fuse. The group contains nearly all of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are share with each number. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group, and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.

            While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most member of the group fell loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are example of secondary cooperation.

In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the share work. The attitudes of the cooperation parties are purely opportunistic; the organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation involve common means cease to aid achieve antagonistic goals; it breaks when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

ACADEMIC AREN’T THE PROBLEM

Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras.

            Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial pressures don’t seem to be greater now than a generation ago.

            The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did a generation ago – a full 10 hours a week less. Students are also receiving significantly higher grades. So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be.

            The time – use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either. When the time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s. and though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when paid work choices are held constantly.

            In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more. They appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun. It seems hard to imagine that students feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure.

            Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago. The time-use data don’t speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be that these have become more intense lately.

            In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either socializing with friends or playing on the computer for fun. Social activities, in person or on computer would seem to have become the major focus of campus life. It is hard to tell what kinds of pressures would be associated with this change.

Question 44: Research studies have shown that pressures put on students nowadays are _________

            A. getting ever greater                        B. more diversified

            C. much greater than the past D. not greater than the past

Question 45: According to the author, the fact that students have more time for leisure is a proof that__________

            A. they cannot find extra jobs

            B. academic work disinterests them

            C. they are active with extra-curricular activities 

            D. financial pressure on students is not a problem

Question 46: All factors considered, college now seems__________

            A. ever more expensive           B. much more expensive 

            C. more costly             D. less expensive

Question 47: The word “Academics” in the title mostly means_________

            A. students’ workload in college        B. professors and research students 

            C. college students and tutors            D. graduate students’ workload

Question 48: the author finds it hard to point out__________

            A. what is associated with the change in students’ campus life

            B. the cause to students’ financial pressure

            C. how students’ campus life becomes subject to academic pressure

            D. how the background of students’ campus life is built

Question 49: the word “focus” in the last paragraph can be replaced with_______

            A. headline      B. central activity        C. primary theme        D. biggest importance

Question 50: Students nowadays seem to be studying less and ________

            A. giving more time to sports B. taking more extracurricular activities

            C. spending more time doing odd jobs          D. spending more time on leisure

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.

A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (1) __________ between husband and wife. Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share household chores. Some fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.

In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (2) __________ and the father becomes the “househusband." These cases are still fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time with their children. In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. “This is one of our most significant cultural changes,” says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society. In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (3) __________ around kids' lives.”

Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula. The number of people who work from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade. The (4) _________ of technology - computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the (5) __________ of children? Only time will tell.

Read the following passage and mark the letters A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book “Why your Child is Hyperactive”. Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective.

            A. the vast number of different foods we eat

Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 

If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a particular form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depend primarily on such physical conditions as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflect social factors such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or to emulate our fellows.

The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical reason such as protecting ourselves from the weather elements. Ethnologists and psychologists have invoked psychological reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to please for the moderns.

In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps through some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other creatures. Ornaments identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men. This identification remains symbolic in more sophisticated societies. We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all period children at play have worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult life.

Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority. For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes expressing his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was superhuman. In more recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to distinguish the wearer and express personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in the judge’s robes and the police officer’s uniform. Costume denotes power, and since power is usually equated with wealth, costume came to be an expression of social caste and material prosperity. Military uniform denotes rank and is intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a group. At the bottom of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the convict’s uniform. Finally, costume can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s position of respect.

Question 10: Psychological reasons for wearing garments include

            A. protection from cold                      B. availability of materials

            C. prevention of illness                       D. wishing to give pleasure

Question 11: Why does the author mention the police officer’s uniform?

            A. To illustrate the aesthetic function of costume

            B. To identify the wearer with a hero

            C. To suggest that police are superhuman

            D. To show how costume signifies authority

Question 12: The passage mainly discusses costumes in term of its

            A. physical protection             B. religious significance

            C. social function                    D. beauty and attractiveness

Question 13: What is the purpose of the paragraph 1?

            A. To describe the uses of costume

            B. To contrast costume with the clothing

            C. To trade the origins of costume

            D. To point out that clothing developed before costume

Question 14: The word “scale” in line 23 refers to

            A. symbolic identification      B. military rank

            C. social position                    D. the balance

Question 15: Which of the following would most likely NOT be reflected in a person’s costume, as it is defined in the passage?

            A. Having a heart condition   B. Playing in a baseball game

            C. Working in a hospital         D. Participating in a religious ceremony

Question 16: It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that

            A. The function of costume has become very sophisticated

            B. Children like to identify with other creature by wearing costumes

            C. Primitive people wore cloths only for sacred performances

            D. Costume no longer fulfills a function beyond simple utility

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 that follow.

In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms and relationships with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He beins to lose radually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.

He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available - but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.

Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people - often rather frightening - looking people - and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult of life for which he has to be prepared but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

            A. they are taught by many different teachers.

            B. they do not attend lessons in every subject.

            C. the teachers do not want to be friendly.

            D. the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils.

Question 16: The teachers at secondary school do not talk much to the pupils because ................

            A. they want to keep a certain distance with the pupils. 

            B. they are too busy with their academic work.

            C. the pupils are afraid of them.

            D. it is the regulation of the school.

Question 17: In secondary schools every pupil having problems should................

            A. know how to ask for help.

            B. be freed from any pressure of academic work.

            C. be able to discuss his problems in class.

            D. be able to discuss his problems with any teacher.

Question 18: What will the school rightly expect the pupils to do?

            A. they firstly obtain the help.            B. they thinhk carefully.

            C. they understand well.        D. they study hard.

Question 19: The word “adults” in the second paragraph has the nearest meaning with ...................

            A. the pupils at secondary school.      B. the secondary pupils’ parents

            C. the staff at secondary school.        D. the teachers and pupils at secondary school.

Question 20: How many pupils do teachers see in a week?
