PART THREE: READING COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from
31 to 40. (10 pts)
Every day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force - both online and on foot - searching excitedly for the perfect gifts. Last
year, Americans spent over $30 billion at retail stores in the month of December alone. Aside from purchasing holiday gifts,
most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries,
graduations, and baby showers. This frequent experience of gift-giving can engender ambivalent feelings in gift-givers. Many
relish the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds with one's closest
peers. At the same time, many dread the thought of buying gifts; they worry that their purchases will disappoint, rather than
delight, the intended recipients.

Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process, serving various political, religious, and psychological functions.
Economists, however, offer a less favourable view. According to Waldfogel (1993), gift-giving represents an objective waste of
resources. People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own, or at least not spend as much money to
purchase (a phenomenon referred to as "the deadweight loss of Christmas"). This "deadweight loss" suggests that gift-givers
are not very good at predicting what gifts others will appreciate. That in itself is not surprising to social psychologists. Research
has found that people often struggle to take account of others' perspectives, their insights are subject to egocentrism, social
projection, and multiple attribution errors. What is surprising is that gift-givers have considerable experience acting as both gift-
givers and gift-recipients, but nevertheless, tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift.

In the present research, we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem, i.e. that gift-givers
equate how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift (the more expensive the gift, the stronger the gift-
recipient's feelings of appreciation). Although a link between gift price and feelings of appreciation might seem intuitive to gift-
givers, such an assumption may be unfounded. Indeed, we suggest that gift-recipients will be less likely to base their feelings of
appreciation on the magnitude of a gift than givers assume.

Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients' feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that
bigger (that is, more expensive) gifts convey stronger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration. According to Camerer (1988)
and others, gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual, whereby gift-givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes toward the
intended recipients and their willingness to invest resources in a future relationship. In this sense. gift-givers may be motivated
to spend more money on a gift in order to send a stronger signal to their intended recipients. As for gift-recipients, they may not
construe smaller or larger gifts as representing smaller or larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.
31. What is the main idea discussed in the passage?
A. Gift-recipients are widely acknowledged as considerably experienced in gift-giving.
B. Gift-giving may have certain drawbacks alongside its positive qualities.
C. Gifts can serve as implicit signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.
D. Gift-giving, despite its uneconomical downsides, cultivates a positive social process.
32. In paragraph 4, the word "construe" most probably means
A. understand B. state C. respond D. take
33. The word 'many" in line 6 paragraph 1 refers to
A. gift-givers B. peers C. presents D. gift-receipients
34. The author most likely uses the examples of gift-giving occasions in paragraph 1 to highlight the _____
A. regularity with which people shop for gifts
B. recent increase in the amount of money spent on gifts
C. anxiety gift-shopping causes for consumers
D. number of special occasions involving gift-giving
35. In paragraph 1, the word "ambivalent" most nearly means
A. unrealistic B. supportive C. apprehensive D. conflicted
36. In paragraph 3, the author indicates that the assumption made by gift-givers may be ____.
A. insincere B. fundamental C. justified D. incorrect
37. In paragraph 4, the author refers to the works by Camerer and others in order to ______
A. introduce an argument B. offer an alternative C. support an explanation D. question a motive
38. The social psychologists mentioned in paragraph 2 would likely describe the "deadweight loss” phenomenon as ________
A. questionable B. disturbing C. predictable D. unprecedented

B. can serve to strengthen a relationship

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides information concerning how people
think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the
news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.

North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street interviews on local television news shows. While such
interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the
opinions of only the people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-
class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to
attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera.
A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.

In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions. An effective survey question
must be simple and clear enough for people to understand. It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in
interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of
information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly, and the
questions are worded accurately.

There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of survey research has its
advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because most people find it more difficult to turn down a personal
request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions
and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and
more consistent.

51. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The history of surveys in North America B. The importance of polls in American political life
C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys D. The principles of conducting surveys
52. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live interviews _____.
A. are easier to interpret B. can produce more information
C. cost less D. minimize the influence of the researcher
53. The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to
A. North Americans B. news shows C. opinions D. interviews
54. The word "elicit" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. take out B. rule out C. leave out D. bring out
55. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?
A. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results
B. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings
C. Carefully worded questions
D. A high number of respondents
