A considerable body of research has demonstrated a correlation between birth order and aspects suchas temperament and behavior, and some psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects thedevelopment of personality. Psychologist Alfred Adler was a pioneer in the study of the relationshipbetween birth order and personality. A key point in his research and in the hypothesis that he developedbased on it was that it was not the actual numerical birth position that affected personality; instead, it wasthe similar responses in large numbers of families to children in specific birth order positions that had aneffect. For example, first-borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and do not have to deal withsiblings in the first part of their lives, tend to have their first socialization experiences with adults andtherefore tend to find the process of peer socialization more difficult. In contrast, later-born children have todeal with siblings from the first moment of their lives and therefore tend to have stronger socialization skills.

Numerous studies since Adler’s have been conducted on the effect of birth order and personality. Thesestudies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, second-born and/or

middle, last, and only child.Studies have consistently shown that first-born children tend to exhibit similar, positive and negative

personality traits. First-borns have consistently been linked with academic achievement in various studies;in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first-borns was found to be equal tothe number of second-and third-borns combined. First-borns have been found to be more responsible andassertive than those born in other birth-order positions and tend to rise to positions of leadership more oftenthan others; more first-borns have served in the U.S. Congress and as U.S. presidents than have thoseborn in other birth-order positions. However, studies have shown that first-borns tend to be more subject tostress and were considered problem children more often than later-borns.

Second-born and/or middle children demonstrate markedly different tendencies from first-borns. Theytend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend that theirlower level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to succeed in areas

other than those in which their older sibling or siblings excel. They tend to be more trusting, accepting, andfocused on others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a comparatively higher


6/60


level of success in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who more often excel in individualsports.

The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits astrong sense of security. Last-borns collectively achieve the highest degree of social success anddemonstrate the highest levels of self-esteem of all the birth-order positions. They often exhibit lesscompetitiveness than older brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitive groupgames or in social organizations such as sororities and fraternities.

Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of the

characteristics of last-borns. Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and self-esteemexhibited by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely thanmiddle-or last-borns to achieve academic success. However, only children tend to have the most problemsestablishing close relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children.

( ID: 98081 ) Read the fol low ing p assage and mark the letter A, B, C or D o n yo ur answ er sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the fol low ing qu estions

In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory ofteninvolves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. Agood example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made

up of many small particles that are in constant motion. A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not asyet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. Ifobservations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm thepredictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory mayhave to be revised or rejected.

Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information andperforming experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincaresaid: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be calledscience any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."

Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about aparticular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the

investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated.These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown . Itextends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performscalculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigationlacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.

Question 36: Which of the following is the main subject of the passage?A. The importance of models in scientific theories. B. The sorts of facts that scientists find most interesting. C. The ways that scientists perform different types of experiments. D. The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation.

Question 37: The word "related" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.A. Described B. Identified C. connected D. completed

Question 38: The word "this" in paragraph 1 refers to________.A. the kinetic molecular theory B. a good example C. an observed event D. an imaginary model

Question 39: According to the second paragraph, a useful theory is one that helps scientists to_______.A. observe events B. publicize new findings C. make predictions D. find errors in past experiments

Question 40: The word "supported" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.A. upheld B. finished C. adjusted D. investigated

Question 41: “Bricks” are mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate how________.A. science is more than a collection of facts B. scientific experiments have led to improved technology C. mathematicians approach science D. building a house is like performing experiments

Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its Evolutionaryhistory. Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960’s but has become evenmore influential today. The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin. Its modern foundationswere laid by two European zoologists, Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen.

Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz, and Tinbergen observed behavior patterns that promote survival. The most well-known of these is imprinting, the early following behavior of certain baby birds that ensures that the young will stay close to their mother and be fed and protected from danger. Imprinting takes place during an early, restricted time period of development. If the

mother goose is not present during this time, but an object resembling her in important features is, younggoslings may imprint on i t instead . Observations of imprinting led to major concept that has been applied inchild Development” the critical period . It refers to a limited times span during which the child is biologically

prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but needs the support of suitably stimulating environment.Many researchers have conducted studies to find out whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must

be learned during restricted time periods. for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physicaland social stimulation during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? Iflanguage is not mastered during the preschool years, is the child’s capacity to acquire it reduced?

Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby appliedethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant and its parents. He argued thatattachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling, grasping, and crying, are built-in social signalsthat encourage the parents to approach, care for, and interact with the baby. By keeping a parent near, these

behaviors help ensure that the baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided with the stimulation andaffection necessary for healthy growth. The development of attachment in human infants is a lengthy processinvolving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep affectional tie between parent and baby.

Question 26: What was Darwin’s contribution to ethology? A. Darwin was the first person to apply ethological theory to children.B. Darwin’s work provided the basis for ethology.C. Darwin was the professor who taught Lorenz and Tinbergen.D. Darwin improved on the original principles of ethology.

Question 27: The word “diverse” is closest in meaning to A. small B. wild C. varied D. particularQuestion 28: The word “ensures” is closest in meaning to

A. assumes B. guarantees C. proves D. teachesQuestion 29: According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time period whenimprinting takes place, which of the following will most likely occur?

A. The mother will later imprint on the gosling.B. The gosling may not find a mate when it matures.C. The gosling will not imprint on any object.D. The gosling may imprint on another object.

Question 30: The word “it” refers to

A. time B. object C. development D. gooseQuestion 31: The word “suitably” is closest in meaning to

A. moderately B. appropriately C. willingly D. emotionallyQuestion 32: The author mentions all of the following as attachment behaviors of human infants EXCEPT

A. smiling B. crying C. eating D. graspingQuestion 33: According to the passage, attachment behaviors of infants are intended to

Question 34: The phrase “affectional tie” is closest in meaning to A. behavioral change B. psychological needC. cognitive development D. emotional attachment

( I D: 98303 ) Read the foll owing passage and mark the letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the fol lowing questions

The biologist's role in society as well as his moral and ethical responsibility in the discovery and

development of new ideas has led to a reassessment of his social and scientific value systems. A scientist canno longer ignore the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of hisfindings as he is with the basic research in which he is involved . This emerging social and poli tical role ofthe biologist and all other scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy orthe objectivity of a laboratory balance. As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefinehis social obligations and his functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical

problems as man's control of his environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionarydevelopment.

As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which humantraits are made to order, may soon be a reality. As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishmentwould entail many value judgments. Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected forchange? In cases of genetic deficiencies and disease, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the

possibilities for social misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits.Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb

environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life.Many scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population.A rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products ofwhich increase the pollution of air, water, and soil. The question of how many people the resources of theEarth can support is one of critical importance.

Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the need for biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements

necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet. For although many of man's present and future problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biologicalramifications that could affect the very existence of life itself.

Question 36: According to the passage, a modern scientist should be more concerned about ____.A. the consequences of his discoveriesB. his basic researchC. his manipulation of genesD. the development of new ideas

Question 37: The pronoun "it" in paragraph 2 refers to ____.A. genetic engineering B. an accomplishment

Question 39: The pronoun "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ____.A. possibilities for genetic deficienciesB. cases of genetic deficienciesC. discoveries concerning hereditary mechanismsD. effects of genetic engineering misuse

Question 40: What is probably the most important biological problem mentioned in the passage?A. environmental pollution B. manipulation of genes

C. genetic engineering misuse D. social and economic deficienciesQuestion 41: The word "which" in paragraph 3 refers to ____.

A. the waste products dumped into our environmentB. serious environmental pollution
