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 39 to 43.
Who talk more men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a
stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more in private situations, where they use
conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where
they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these
differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play includes a lot of conversation.
Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls
are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversations between children aged 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use more
language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language
and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially with daughters than with sons.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer for each of the blanks.
Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is
a greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that could
repair the damage caused by man.
Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but
actually endangering our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one species
plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace
them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat.
When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered and even damaged.
Without their biodiversity, they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet. No longer are they able
to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming, caused by the
increase in the 'greenhouse effect', and ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the world's climate.
