DOLPHINS HAVE THEIR OWN NAMES 1
Scientists studying the species of dolphin called bottlenose dolphins has made an interesting
discovery. Each of the dolphins in the group the scientists studied has their own name, consisting of a 2
series of whistles. As many animals can copy and learn complicated sequences of sounds, few species
are capable of associating particular sounds to specific individuals or things. Dolphins use sounds 3
when they communicate for a variety of reasons, include leading other dolphins to places where food
is available and showing how friendly or aggressively they are feeling. Dolphins mainly use their 4
names, known as 'signature whistle", when they are travelling, to let the others in their group know
where are they. And when a group of dolphins comes across another group while out at sea, they 5
appear to use them like a means of greeting each other, exchanging information before the groups
join. The whistles also used when mothers and their young get separated. 6 7 8 9 10

Every day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force - both online and on foot - searching excitedly for the
perfect gifts. Last year, Americans spent over $30 billion at retail stores in the month of December alone. Aside
from purchasing holiday gifts, most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year,
including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and baby showers. This frequent experience of gift-
giving can engender ambivalent feelings in gift-givers. Many relish the opportunity to buy presents because gift-
giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds with one's closest peers. At the same time, many dread the thought of buying
ces. gifts; they worry that their purchases will disappoint, rather than delight, the intended recipients.
Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process, serving various political, religious, and
psychological functions. Economists, however, offer a less favourable view. According to Waldfogel (1993),
gift-giving represents an objective waste of resources. People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy
on their own, or at least not spend as much money to purchase (a phenomenon referred to as "the deadweight loss
of Christmas"). This "deadweight loss" suggests that gift-givers are not very good at predicting what gifts others
will appreciate. That in itself is not surprising to social psychologists. Research has found that people often
struggle to take account of others' perspectives - their insights are subject to egocentrism, social projection, and
multiple attribution errors. What is surprising is that gift-givers have considerable experience acting as both gift-
givers and gift-recipients, but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift.
In the present research, we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem, i.e. that
gift-givers equate how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift (the more expensive
the gift, the stronger a gift-recipient's feelings of appreciation). Although a link between gift price and feelings of
appreciation might seem intuitive to gift-givers, such an assumption may be unfounded. Indeed, we propose that
gift-recipients will be less inclined to base their feelings of appreciation on the magnitude of a gift than givers assume.
Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients' feelings of appreciation? Perhaps
givers believe that bigger (that is, more expensive) gifts convey stronger signals of thoughtfulness and
consideration. According to Camerer (1988) and others, gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual, whereby gift-
givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes toward the intended recipient and their willingness to invest
resources in a future relationship. In this sense, gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in
order to send a "stronger signal" to their intended recipients. As for gift-recipients, they may not construe smaller
or larger gifts as representing smaller or larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration .
31. What is the main idea discussed in the passage?
A. Gift-recipients are widely acknowledged as considerably experienced in gift-giving.
B. Gift-giving may have certain drawbacks alongside its positive qualities.
C. Gifts can serve as Implicit signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.
D. Gift-giving, despite its uneconomical downsides, cultivates a positive social process.
32. In paragraph 4, the word 'construe" most probably means A. understand B. state C. respond D. take

A. regularity with which people shop for gifts
B. recent increase in the amount of money spent on gifts
C. anxiety gift-shopping causes for consumers

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides information
concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the
Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an
important part of political lite in the United States. North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the
street interviews on local television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not
necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only the people who
appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or
factory workers, depending on which area the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to attract
outgoing people who are willing to appear on air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a
camera, A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of
the population In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand. It must also
be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured
must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources
of information, but only if the sampling is done properly, and the questions are worded accurately. There are two
main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of survey research has its
advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because most people find it more difficult to turn
down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer
can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons. However,
questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.
51. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The history of surveys in North America
B. The importance of polls in American political life
C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys D. The principles of conducting surveys
52. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live interviews A. are easier to interpret
B. can produce more information C. cost less
D. minimize the influence of the researcher
53. The word "they in paragraph 2 refers to A. North Americans B. news shows C. opinions D. interviews
54. The word "elicit" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to A. take out B. rule out C. leave out D. bring out
55. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?!
A. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results B. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings C. Carefully worded questions
D. A high number of respondents
