Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country’s impressive population growth For every three Canadians in 1945, there were

over five in 1966 In September 1966 Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark Most

of his surging growth came from natural increase The depression of the 1930’s and the war

had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945 The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950’s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956 This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before settle Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950’s supported a

growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier

marriages and an increase in the average size of families In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world

After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline It continued

falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society Young people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families.It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution

Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase

in the first half of the 1960’s was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957

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 from 55 to 64

Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its Evolutionary history Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960’s but has become even more influential today The origins of ethology can be traced

to the work of Darwin Its modern foundations were 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, young goslings may

imprint on it instead Observations of imprinting led to major concept that has been applied

in child 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 physical and social

stimulation during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? If language 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 applied ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant

and its parents He argued that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling,

grasping, and crying, are built-in social signals that 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 and affection necessary for healthy growth The development of attachment in human infants is a lengthy

process involving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep affectional tie

between parent and baby

Question 55: 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

A institutions B inventions C discoveries D researches

Question 57: The word “ensures” in line 7 is closest in meaning to

A assumes B guarantees C proves D teaches

Question 58: According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time

period when imprinting 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 59: The word “He” in line 19 refers to

A an infant B a psychoanalyst C parent D a baby

Question 60: The word “acquire” in line 12 is closest in meaning to

Question 61: The author mentions all of the following as attachment behaviors of human

infants EXCEPT

Question 62: According to the passage, attachment behaviors of infants are intended

B provide the infant with a means of self-stimulation

Question 63: The phrase “affectional tie” in line 24 is closest in meaning to _

A behavioral change B psychological need

C cognitive development D emotional attachment

Question 64: It can be inferred from the passage that ethological theory assumes that

A failure to imprint has no influence on intelligence

B to learn about human behavior only human subjects should be studied

C there are similarities between animal and human behavior

D the notion of critical periods applies only to animals
