Zoo officials say that they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain "collections" of
interesting "items" rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals
in captivity. However, animals in zoos are bored, limited, lonely, and far from their natural homes.
Zoos claim to educate people, but in fact, visitors don't learn anything meaningful about the natural
behavior, intelligence, or beauty of animals. Most zoo areas are quite small, and visitors can rarely observe
animals' normal behavior in these unnatural spaces.
The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental
stimulation or physical exercise. This results in abnormal and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A

5
worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals in small spaces or cages. For
example, Bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth. These are all signs of distress.
Zoos also claim to save animals from extinction. However, zoos that breed endangered animals, such
as big cats and Asian elephants, often do not release them to the wild. Ultimately, we will save endangered
species only if we save their habitats. We also need to stop people from killing them. Instead of supporting
zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals and preserve their homes in the wild.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the questions from 44 to 50.
These days, high heel shoes are very fashionable. Women wear them to look taller and to make their
legs look longer. However, many people complain that high heel shoes are getting a little too high, some
even say they look ridiculous. However, those people may be surprised to hear that ridiculous high heel
shoes are not new. In fact, some very old high heel shoes were far more outrageous than anything you see
today. They were so ridiculous that they even started a war!
There have been high heel shoes far back in history, even back to the ancient Egyptians. But the
most famous high heel shoes came from the French King Louis XIV in 1660. King Louis had a famous
shoemaker named Nicholas Lestage. Lestage was so good at making shoes that some people said he must

6
be a sorcerer. King Louis was the shortest person in the royal court. He wanted to be much taller, so he
asked Lestage to make higher heels. At first this seemed to help, but when everyone else saw the king
wearing heels, they wanted heels, too. Then Louis XIV was the shortest person again. He kept asking
Lestage to make higher and higher heels. Soon, the heels were over 12.5 cm tall! But every time King Louis
XIV made his heels higher, the people in the court made theirs higher, too. Finally, King Louis XIV gave up
and made his heels lower again. The women, however, liked the way the heels made them look. They kept
their heels high.
How did high heel shoes start a war? Well, the French Kings and nobility kept wearing high heel
shoes. Then they tried taping their feet and wearing tight shoes to make their feet smaller. Shoes seemed
more important to the French nobility than anything. The people of France couldn't get enough food to eat,
but all the royalty could think about was their feet! When the people finally started the famous French
Revolution, it was partly because they hated how the nobility cared more about shoes than about the
French people. After the Revolution, no one wore high heel shoes anymore, but by the 20th century, people
had rediscovered them.
