Passage 1

    The first and smallest unit that can be discussed in relation to language is the word. In speaking, the choice of words is     41     the utmost importance. Proper selection will eliminate one source of     42     breakdown in the communication cycle. Too often, careless use of words     43     a meeting of the minds of the speaker and listener. The words used by the speaker may     44     unfavorable reactions in the listener     45     interfere with his comprehension; hence, the transmission-reception system breaks down.

       46     inaccurate or indefinite words may make     47     difficult for the listener to understand the     48     which is being transmitted to him. The speaker who does not have specific words in his working vocabulary may be     49     to explain or describe in a     50    that can be understood by his listeners.

 Passage 2

     Sleep is divided into periods of so-called REM sleep, characterized by rapid eye movements and dreaming, and longer periods of non-REM sleep.     41     kind of sleep is at all well understood, but REM sleep is     42     to serve some restorative function of the brain. The purpose of non-REM sleep is even more     43    . The new experiments, such as these     44     for the first time at a recent meeting of the Society for Sleep Research in Minneapolis, suggest fascinating explanations     45     of non-REM sleep.

    For example, it has long been known that total sleep     46    is 100 percent fatal to rats, yet,     47     examination of the dead bodies, the animals look completely normal. A researcher has now     48     the mystery of why the animals die. The rats     49    bacterial infections of the blood,     50     their immune systems — the self-protecting mechanism against diseases-had crashed.

 Passage 3

    Vitamins are organic compounds necessary in small amounts in the diet for the normal growth and maintenance of life of animals, including man.

    They do not provide energy,     41     do they construct or build any part of the body. They are needed for     42     foods into energy and body maintenance. There are thirteen or more of them, and if     43     is missing a deficiency disease becomes     44    .

    Vitamins are similar because they are made of the same elements — usually carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and     45     nitrogen. They are different     46     their elements are arranged differently, and each vitamin     47     one or more specific functions in the body.

        48     enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for     49     vitamins. Many people,     50    . believe in being on the "safe side" and thus take extra vitamins. However, a well-balanced diet will usually meet all the body' s vitamin needs.

Passage 4

    Manpower Inc, with 560,000 workers, is the world's largest temporary employment agency. Every morning, its people     41     into the offices and factories of America, seeking a day's work for a day's pay. One day at a time.     42     industrial giants like General Motors and IBM struggle to survive     43     reducing the number of employees, Manpower, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is booming.

        44     its economy continues to recover, the US is increasingly becoming a nation of part-timers and temporary workers. This    "45"    work force is the most important     46     in American business today, and it is     47     changing the relationship between people and their jobs. The phenomenon provides a way for companies to remain globally competitive     48     avoiding market cycles and the growing burdens     49     by employment rules, healthcare costs and pension plans. For workers it can mean an end to the security, benefits and sense of     50     that came from being a loyal employee.

Passage 5

    Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They     41     that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the     42     man. But they insisted that its     43     results during the period from 1750 to 1850 were widespread poverty and misery for the     44     of the English population.     45     contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1650 to 1750, when England was still a     46     agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity.

    This view,     47    . is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists     48     history and economics, have     49     two things: that the period from 1650 to 1750 was     50     by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace.

 Passage 6

    Industrial safety does not just happen. Companies     41     low accident rates plan their safety programs, work hard to organize them, and continue working to keep them     42     and active. When the work is well done, a     43     of accident-free operations is established     44     time lost due to injuries is kept at a minimum.

    Successful safety programs may     45     greatly in the emphasis placed on certain aspects of the program. Some place great emphasis on mechanical guarding. Others stress safe work practices by     46     rules or regulations.     47     others depend on an emotional appeal to the worker. But, there are certain basic ideas that must be used in every program if maximum results are to be obtained.

    There can be no question about the value of a safety program. From a financial standpoint alone, safety      48    . The fewer the injury     49    . the better the workman's insurance rate. This may mean the difference between operating at     50     or at a loss.

 Passage 7

    If a farmer wishes to succeed, he must try to keep a wide gap between his con­sumption and his production. He must store a large quantity of grain     41     consuming all his grain immediately. He can continue to support himself and his family     42     he produces a surplus. He must use this surplus in three ways: as seed for sowing, as an insurance     43     the unpredictable effects of bad weather and as a commodity which he must sell in order to     44     old agricultural implements and obtain chemical fertilizers to     45     the soil. He may also need money to construct irrigation     46     and improve his farm in other ways. If no surplus is .available, a farmer cannot be     47     .He must either sell some of his property or     48     extra funds in the form of loans. Naturally he will try to borrow money at a low     49     of interest, but loans of this kind are not     50     obtainable.

 Passage 8

    The government is to ban payments to witnesses by newspapers seeking to buy up people involved in prominent cases     31     the trial of Rosemary West.

    In a significant     32     of legal controls over the press, Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, will introduce a     33     bill that will propose making payments to witnesses     34     and will strictly control the amount of     35     that can be given to a case     36     a trial begins.

    In a letter to Gerald Kaufman, chairman of the House of Commons media select committee, Lord Irvine said he     37     with a committee report this year which said that self-regulation did not     38     sufficient control.

        39     of the letter came two days after Lord Irvine caused a     40     of media protest when he said the     41     of privacy controls contained in European legislation would be left to judges     42     to Parliament.

    The Lord Chancellor said introduction of the Human Rights Bill, which     43     the European Convention on Human Rights legally     44     in Britain, laid down that everybody was     45     to privacy and that public figures could go to court to protect themselves and their families.

    "Press freedoms will be in safe hands     46     our British judges," he said.

    Witness payments became an     47     after West sentenced to 10 life sentences in 1995. Up to 19 witnesses were     48     to have received payments for telling their stories to newspapers.

 Passage 9

    Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. Yet much had happened     21    . As was discussed before, it was not     22     the 19th

century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic     23    , following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the     24     of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution     25     up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading     26     through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures     27     the 20th century world of the motor car and the airplane. Not everyone sees that process in     28     It is important to do so.

    It is generally recognized,     29    , that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,     30     by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s,radically changed the process,     31     its impact on the media was not immediately     32    . As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became " personal" too, as well as     33    , with display becoming sharper and storage     34     increasing. They were thought of, like people,     35     generations, with the distance between generations much     36    .

    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the     37     within which we now live. The communications revolution has     38     both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been     39     views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed     40     "harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.

    Teachers need to be aware of the emotional, intellectual, and physical changes that young adults experience. And they also need to give serious     21     to how they can best     22     such changes. Growing bodies need movement and     23    . but not just in ways that emphasize competition.     24     they are adjusting to their new bodies and a whole host of new intellectual and emotional challenges, teenagers are especially self-conscious and need the     25     that comes from achieving success and knowing that their accomplishments are     26     by others. However, the typical teenage lifestyle is already filled with so much competition that it would be     27     to plan activities in which there are more winners than losers,     28    . publishing newsletters with many student-written book reviews,     29     student artwork, and sponsoring book discussion clubs. A variety of small clubs can provide     30     opportunities for leadership, as well as for practice in successful     31     dynamics. Making friends is extremely important to teenagers, and many shy students need the     32     of some kind of organization with a supportive adult     33     visible in the background.

    In these activities, it is important to remember that young teens have     34     atten­tion spans. A variety of activities should be organized     35     participants can remain active as long as they want and then go on to     36     else without feeling guilty and without letting the other participants     37    .

 Passage 11

    Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency (crimes committed by young people) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories     21     on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior     22     they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through     23     with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in     24     to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status     25     as a rejection of middle-class values.

    Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families,     26     the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes     27     lack of adequate parental control. All theories, however, are tentative and are     28     to criticism.

    Changes in the social structure may indirectly     29     juvenile crime rates. For example, changes in the economy that     30     to fewer job opportunities for youth and rising unemployment     31     make gainful employment increasingly difficult to obtain. The resulting discontent may in     32     lead more youths into criminal behavior.

    Families have also     33     changes these years. More families consist of one parent households or two working parents;     34     , children are likely to have less supervision at home     35     was common in the traditional family     36    . This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates. Other     37     causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased     38     of drugs and alcohol, and the growing     39     of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act,     40     a direct causal relationship has not yet been established.
