A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (31) _ between husband and wife Young couples will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always home with the children Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish themselves and provide a secure environment for the family Husband and wife may also share household chores Some fathers are just as capable

as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry

In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (32) _ and the father becomes the

“househusband." These cases are still fairly rare One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to

be spending more time with their children In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers “This is one of our most significant cultural changes,” says Dr Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very dramatic difference

in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (33) _ around kids' lives.”

Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula The number of people who work from home nearly full-time rose 23% from the last decade The (34) _ of technology - computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive change for the (35) _ of children?

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 36 to 42

Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the

groceries, take place every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen device And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have

risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future

What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in counting are eliminated Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it

reduces the cost of handling money Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers TVs and

games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily and without having to input credit card details

And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card firms want to be in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless-payment systems But the new system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit card statements but on their mobile phone statements And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks

do not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity It's too early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by how much However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic They feel there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of the past They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was predicted On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention

Question 36: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A The absence of traditional payment methods

B Predictions of future payment methods

C Japan's advanced forms of payment

D The increasing popularity of new payment methods

Question 37: Why does the author mention “a small flat-screen device” in the first paragraph?

A to exemplify the e-cash system B to criticize the e-cash system

Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?

Question 39: The word “embedded” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _

Question 40: The author mentions the case of commuters in the third paragraph to illustrate _

A the modern technology of the e-cash system

B a possible drawback of the system

C the banks' cooperation with credit-card companies

D the transferability of the system

Question 41: What does the author think may happen in the future?

A Daily expenses on drinks and tickets will appear on phone statements

B Banks will collect their fees through credit-card companies

C Americans will no longer go to their local bank branches

D Credit-card companies and banks will want to promote cash

Question 42: How does the writer seem to feel about the future of banks?

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 43 to 50

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly

cherished goal Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on

group organization and attitudes

In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse The group contains

nearly all of each individual’s life The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterature societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group Cooperation itself is not a value Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation

In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is

loose and fragile Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks

down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship

Question 43: What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of the passage?

A To urge readers to cooperate more often

B To offer a brief definition of cooperation

C To explain how cooperation differs from competition and conflict

D To show the importance of group organization and attitudes

Question 44: The word “cherished” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

Question 45: The word “fuse” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _

Question 46: Which of the following statements about primary cooperation is supported by information in the passage?

A It is usually the first stage of cooperation achieved by a group of individuals attempting to cooperate

B It is most commonly seen among people who have not yet developed reading and writing skills

C It is an ideal that can never be achieved

D It was confined to prehistoric times

Question 47: According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary cooperation?

A To experience the satisfaction of cooperation

B To associate with people who have similar backgrounds

C To get rewards for themselves

D To defeat a common enemy

Question 48: Which of the following is an example of the third form of cooperation as it is defined in the fourth paragraph?

A Students form a study group so that all of them can improve their grades

B Members of a farming community share work and the food that they grow

C Two rival political parties temporarily work together to defeat a third party

D A new business attempts to take customers away from an established company

Question 50: Which of the following best describes the overall organization of the passage?

A The author provides a number of concrete examples and then draws a conclusion

B The author presents the points of view of three experts on the same topic

C The author compares and contrasts two types of human relations

D The author describes a concept by analyzing its three forms
