probably have neighbors. You also have a number of other acquaintances. Add those people you know from your own activities,
such as religious groups, clubs, or volunteer organizations, and you’ve just put together your own pool of contacts.

statue that can ensure marriage. Legend has it that if a woman walks around this statue three times, she will hear wedding bells in
the near future. If you are eager for marriage, it might be worth doing. Of course, if you really want to get married, you had better

be heavy, or binge drinkers—those who consume over five drinks at one sitting at least once a week; 22 percent of students
under age 21 classify themselves as heavy drinkers, compared with 18 percent of students over age 21.

Passage 4
Traditionally, mental tests have been divided into two types. Achievement tests are designed to measure acquired skills and
knowledge, particularly those that have been explicitly taught. The proficiency exams required by some states for high school
graduation are achievement tests. Aptitude tests are designed to measure a person’s ability to acquire new skills or knowledge. For
example, vocational aptitude tests can help you decide whether you would do better as a mechanic or musician. However, all
mental tests are in a sense achievement tests because they assume some sort of past learning or experience with certain objects,
words, or situations. The difference between achievement and aptitude tests is one of degree and intended use.
40. The author’s main purpose in this passage is to _____.
(A) show the importance of testing (B) relate a story about aptitude and achievement tests
(C) compare and contrast achievement and aptitude tests (D) criticize the use of testing to measure a person’s ability

(A) other types of psychological testing (B) the relation between education and achievement

(A) indifferent (B) critical (C) objective (D) emotional
Passage 5
A headache is more than just a pain in the head. Sometimes neck or upper back pain may also be involved in a headache. It
ranks among the most common physical complaints. Two of the most common types of headaches are migraines and tension
headaches. Possible causes of migraine headaches include lack of sleep, stress, or flashing flights. The symptoms include blurry
vision and vomiting. Another common type of headache is the tension headache. A person will feel tense if he or she is too
anxious about something at work or school. Also, doing a repetitive activity in the same position for a long time can result in a
bad headache. The neck and head muscles become tense, and the headache begins.
Some methods to prevent migraines include taking deep breathes and lying down to rest in a dark room. Another method
is to imagine scenes in which one feels warm and comfortable. Bright or flashing lights should be avoided. For a tension headache,
one can relax tired muscles with a massage or head, neck, and shoulder exercises. In order to deal with different sources of stress,
experts recommend doing activities that can help release stress, such as meditation or yoga. In addition to that, some
over-the-counter medications such as aspirin might also help. However, if one has a headache and the symptoms persist over
several days, one should see a doctor for further treatment.

Passage 6
Have you ever felt you were being watched? Some new technologies might make you feel that way. Digital billboards are
being created with ability to recognize certain characteristics. These high-tech devices have cameras pointed at the people on the
street, and software that tries to recognize people by age and gender. A computer inside the billboard then uses the information to
display ads that are directed at the people who are looking at the billboard. For example, if a man passes a billboard featuring an
ad for cosmetics, the computer can change the ad to something that is more likely to catch the man’s attention, such as football
games.
While advertisers see this as a great opportunity to reach their target customers, some people feel that this kind of profiling
is an invasion of their privacy. People are now much more aware of how information is exposed, shared, bought, and sold on the
Internet. Now this debate will involve technologies such as “smart” billboards. But advertisers claim that they are sensitive to
people’s concerns about privacy—companies that have tested the billboards in Japan and the U.S. assure consumers that the
billboards can only guess your age and gender, but they will not be able to recognize your face or obtain any personal information
about you.
Until recently, this kind of personal advertising has been mostly limited to the Internet. Search engines like Google and
Bing can follow what we search for because each computer that connects to those sites has a unique identity. Companies then pay
search engines to use this information to display ads for products and services that you have searched for. So if you search for
travel information, you are likely to see ads for airlines and hotels. This kind of advertising has proven to be much more
effective—and valuable—than traditional advertising.
In addition to taking steps to deliver more personalized messages, advertisers are using billboards to offer more useful
information. Digital billboards can connect to the Internet to display information such as the time, weather, and news headlines. In
the future, this technology could be used to relay immediate social events.
In today’s world, people ignore thousands of ads every day. Advertisers are trying to change that trend by personalizing the
experience of seeing an ad. So pay attention: next time you see a billboard, it could be talking to you.
47. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
(A) High-tech billboards do not collect personal information.
(B) People do not mind the billboards tested in Japan and in the U.S.
(C) Advertisers are not senstive to people’s concerns about privacy.
(D) People are worried about information collection initiated by companies using digital billboards.
48. Why is Google mentioned in the passage?
(A) It is an example of a search engine that sells information to companies.
(B) It is better than other search engines in gathering information.
(C) It has started using high-tech billboards to get information.
(D) It plans to develop better ways to profile Internet users.
49. According to the passage, a Bing user is likely to when looking for travel information.
(A) be exposed to ads for hotels (B) become a pilot
(C) refuse to see ads on the airline’s website (D) be offered discounts on shoes and clothing
50. What is the reason for advertisers using high-tech billboards?
(A) It is cheaper to make high-tech billboards. (B) Advertising effects of digital billboards are mixed.
(C) People tend to ignore ordinary advertisements. (D) Billboards are not placed in good locations.
