friend has just one outfit in which he looks great--but which he rarely wears. Every
time he wears a shirt the same color as the one you like, you compliment him, and
perhaps you also mention the shirt you're trying to "promote." After that shirt appears
more frequently for a while, you "reinforce" only it--not the less attractive ones of the
same color. At the same time, you try to suggest that your favorite shirt looks so good

F. Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually
news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these
days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave
complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its
wall were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years
ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats.
Other images depict birds, and most noticeably, horses, which appear in more
than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.

Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult

task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried
their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling
into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.

Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of

water and temperature changes, which easily wear images away. Because the
Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the
images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light
would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated
and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to
tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

27. Which best summarizes the main idea of the passage?

A. Wild Animals in Art
B. Hidden Prehistoric Paintings
C. Exploring Caves Respectfully
D. Determining the Age of French Caves
 28. In line 3, the words pays heed to are closest in meaning to ____.
