Social parasitism involves one species relying on another to raise its young Among vertebrates, the best known social parasites are such birds as cuckoos and cowbirds; the female lays egg

in a nest belonging to another species and leaves it for the host to rear

The dulotic species of ants, however, are the supreme social parasites Consider, for

example, the unusual behavior of ants belonging to the genus Polyergus All species of this ant have lost the ability to care for themselves The workers do not forage for food, feed their brood

or queen, or even clean their own nest To compensate for these deficits, Polyergus has become specialized at obtaining workers from the related genus Formica to do these chores

In a raid, several thousand Polyergus workers will travel up to 500 feet in search of a Formica

nest, penetrate it, drive off the queen and her workers, capture the pupal brood, and transport

it back to their nest The captured brood is then reared by the resident Formica workers until

the developing pupae emerge to add to the Formica population, which maintains the

mixed-species nest The Formica workers forage for food and give it to colony members of both mixed-species

They also remove wastes and excavate new chambers as the population increases

The true extent of the Polyergus and dependence on the Formica becomes apparent when the worker population grows too large for existing nest Formica scouts locate a new nesting site, return to the mixed-species colony, and recruit additional Formica nest mates During a period

that may last seven days, the Formica workers carry to the new nest all the Polyergus eggs, larvae, and pupae, every Polyergus adult, and even the Polyergus queen

Because geologists have long indicated that fossil fuels will not last indefinitely, the U.S government finally acknowledged that sooner or later other energy sources would be needed and, as a result, turned its attention to nuclear power It was anticipated that nuclear power plants could supply electricity in such large amounts and so inexpensively that they would be integrated into an economy in which electricity would take over virtually all fuel-generating functions

at nominal cost Thus, the government subsidized the promotion of commercial nuclear power

plants and authorized their construction by utility companies In the 1960s and early 1970s, the

public accepted the notion of electricity being generated by nuclear power plants in or near

residential areas By 1975, 54 plants were fully operational, supplying 11 percent of the nation’s electricity, and another 167 plants were at various stages of planning and construction Officials estimated that by 1990 hundreds of plants would be on line, and by the turn of the century as many as 1000 plants would be in working order

Since 1975, this outlook and this estimation have changed drastically, and many utilizes have cancelled existing orders In some cases, construction was terminated even after billions of

dollars had already been invested After being completed and licensed at a cost of almost $6 billion, the Shoreham Power Plant on Long Island was turned over to the state of New York to be dismantled without ever having generated electric power The reason was that residents and state authorities deemed that there was no possibility of evacuating residents from the area should an accident occur

Just 68 of those plants under way in 1975 have been completed, and another 3 are still under construction Therefore, it appears that in the mid 1990s 124 nuclear power plants in the nation will be in operation, generating about 18 percent of the nation’s electricity, a figure that will undoubtedly decline as relatively outdated plants are shut down

Question 9: In line 13, the phrase “this outlook” refers to _

A the number of operating nuclear plants

Question 21: When being interviewed, You should focus on what the interviewer is saying or

A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many

households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70% This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not

When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labour, women with jobs felt that

housework should be shared equally between male and female partners Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work - if

their husbands did remainder Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these

percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant

After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes So the division of labour becomes unbalanced, as a man's share increases much less than the woman's It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression The research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage

Question 29: The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to

being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior

In American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour On the other hand,

in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but they also end at the scheduled time In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at noon, many remained past 12:30 to

discuss the class and ask more questions While arriving late may not be important in Brazil, neither is staying late

The explanation for these differences is complicated People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time In fact, Brazilians expect a person with status or prestige to arrive late, while in the United States, lateness is usually considered to be disrespectful and unacceptable Consequently, if a Brazilian

is late for an appointment with a North America, the American may misinterpret the reason for

the lateness and become angry

in the new culture
