Part 3: For questions 71-80, read the following passage about behaviorism and choose the best answer
(A, B, C, or D) according to the text. Write your answers (A, B, C, or D) in the corresponding numbered
boxes.
BEHAVIORISM
In the early 20th century, most approaches to psychology were introspective in nature. They focused
on the analysis of inner feelings and mental states, as well as the causes of those feelings. The emphasis
that psychologists such as Freud placed on the subconscious and the heavy use of dream analysis in
therapy are both reflections of this. Behaviorism, however, rejected this approach. Behaviorism focused
entirely on the analysis on observable behavior, completely rejecting any consideration of inner feelings.
According to behaviorists, any behavior could be explained as a response to an external stimulus.
Behaviorism was heavily influenced by the work of Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov discovered that he could
condition the behavior of dogs through the use of rewards. Each time Pavlov fed his dogs, he rang a bell
first. Eventually, his dogs would get excited and begin to salivate when exposed to this stimulus, even in
the absence of food. If instinctual behavior, such as salivation, was influenced by external stimulus, it was
reasoned that more complex, voluntary behaviors were as well. Behaviorists were interested in answering
two basic questions. First, they wished to identify the exact stimulus that promted a particular behavior.
Second, they wished to discover how they could manipulate different stimuli in order to influence
behavior.
The most prominent behaviorist of the 20th century was undoubtedly B. F. Skinner. Skinner wrote
his most portant papers on behaviorism during the 1940s and 1950s. While some of his ideas on society
were highly controversial and poorly received, his theories on behavior and behavior modification were
widely hailed as important breakthroughs. Skinner's most significant contribution to behaviorism was his
theory of operant conditioning, which he first proposed in his landmark book, The Behavior of Organisms:
An Experimental Analysis.
Unlike earlier behaviorist theories, which focused on the stimuli that preceded a particular behavior,
Skinner's operant conditioning focused on stimuli which would result in the repetition of a behavior.
According to Skinner, any voluntary behavior, which he referred to an operant could be modified through
the use of reinforcers and punishers. A reinforcer was any stimulus that resulted in an increase in the
frequency of a behavior, while punishers decreased its frequency. According to Skinner, reinforcers were a
far more effective means of modifying behavior than punishers. Punishers generally did not truly result in
the abandonment of a behavior, but simply in the development of strategies to avoid the punishment. For
example, a child who is punished for fighting with a sibling is unlikely to stop such behavior. Instead, the
child will simply learn not to fight in front of his or her parents in order to escape punishment. On the
other hand, a child who is rewarded for playing peacefully with his or her sibling is more likely to repeat
that behavior in the future.
Another discovery of Skinner's was that while reinforcement is the most effective method of
behavior modification, excessive reinforcement could have unintended consequences. Unlike other
behaviorists, Skinner was interested in the motivations for behavior, and he made a distinction between
what he called intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. When a behavior is motivated by an inner
desire to engage in that behavior, that is an example of intrinsic motivation. The person does something
because the person sees the action itself as valuable. However, when a person engages in a behavior due to
the desire for a reward, the motivation is extrinsic. In this case it is the reward, not the action itself, which
is seen as valuable. If reinforcers are used too frequently, a shift is made to an entirely extrinsic
motivation. The person no longer sees the value of that behavior but only in the receipt of the reinforcer.
Therefore, if the reinforcer is taken away the person no longer has any motivation to engage in that
behavior. If a child is rewarded for sharing his or her toys every time he or she does so the child will fail to
see the act of sharing itself as valuable and will only share if he or she sees the possibility of a reward.
Therefore, Skinner claimed that reinforcers must be used judiciously in behavior modification.
71. According to paragraph 1, why did behaviorists reject earlier forms of psychology?
A. They lacked respect for Freud and his work regarding the analysis of inner feelings
B. They found dream analysis to be unscientific because dreams are unobservable,

Part 4: For questions 81-90, read the text and do the tasks that follow.
TIME OUT
Contrary to the popular myth that only boring people get bored, it seems that embracing monotony and
allowing ourselves to drift away could be good for us.
A. Consider any public place where people used to enjoy a spot of silent contemplation – from train
carriages to parks – and these days you’ll see people plugged into their electronic devices. All this
information overload seems like a modern-day problem. However, one unique thinker actually stumbled
on a neat solution nearly a century ago: radical boredom. In 1942, a German writer called Siegfried
Karcauer wrote of the massive over-stimulation of the modern city where people listening to the radio
were in a state of ‘permanent receptivity, constantly pregnant with London, the Eiffel Tower, Berlin.’ His
answer was to suggest going cold turkey on stimulation – to cut ourselves off for controlled periods to
experience ‘extraordinary, radical boredom’. On a sunny afternoon, when everyone is outside, one would
do best to hang about the train station,’ he wrote. And as a quick fix, stay at home, draw the curtains and
surrender oneself to one’s boredom on the sofa.’
B. Karcauer believed that actively pursuing boredom in this way and making it a priority was a valuable
way of unlocking creative ideas and, better still, achieve ‘a kind of bliss that is almost unearthly’. It’s a
beautiful theory and one that would definitely hold an appeal for many people. Plus modern research
suggests that it might actually have a sound psychological basis. To test the potential positives of boredom,
psychologist Dr Sandi Mann asked a group of 40 people to complete a task designed to showcase their
inventiveness. But before they got started on it, a subgroup was asked to perform a suitably boring task –
copying numbers from the telephone directory for 15 minutes. The data pointed to the group that had
previously experienced boredom displaying more creative flair during the task than the control group.
According to psychologists this is normal, because when people become bored and start to daydream, their
minds come up with different processes and they work out more imaginative solutions to problems.
C. This would suggest perhaps, that by over-stimulating our minds, we’re not just making ourselves more
stressed, we’re also missing out on a chance to unhook our thoughts from the daily grind and think more
creatively. Psychologists also point out that despite its bad reputation, boredom has a definite evolutionary
purpose. Mann says ‘Without it, we’d be like toddlers in a perpetual state of amazement. Just imagine it:
“Wow – look at that fantastic cereal at the bottom of my bowl!” It may be very stimulating, but we’d never
get anything done.’ Personally, I think that’s a neat description of most adults who are addicted to social
media and smart phones. We are like attention-seeking toddlers scurrying around the internet screaming
‘Look at this! Look at them! Look at me!’ while the real world beyond our electronic devices continues on
untroubled and unexamined. Meanwhile, as Mann points out, we’re teaching our actual toddlers that
boredom and lack of stimulation is something to be feared rather than embraced.
D. Professor John Eastwood and his colleagues at York University in Canada have been carrying out
research on boredom for a number of years. In one investigation, undergraduate students were asked to
complete questionnaires to determine their predisposition to boredom. The students were also questioned
about their emotions. The students who said they suffered from higher levels of boredom also tended to be
more externally focused and reported difficulty identifying their feelings. Eastwood and his colleagues
explained this reveals that our natural tendency to look for distraction when we're bored is, in fact, an
improper solution. According to the researchers, boredom should be viewed as an opportunity to ‘discover
the possibility and content of one's desires'.
E. So how do you learn to tactically embrace periods of radical boredom? The first step is realising that
it’s different from simply taking time to ponder day. ‘Using boredom positively is about creating new
opportunities when your mind isn’t occupied and you can’t focus on anything else,’ says Mann. This could
be as simple as staring out the window or watching the rain come down. Or heading off for a solitary walk
with no fixed destination in mind, or your smart phone in your pocket. Anything that gives your mind the
rare chance to drift off its moorings. ‘I can really recommend it,’ says Mann. ‘It’s a very positive
experience – like taking a holiday from your brain.’ I’m definitely sold. I’m trying to keep my phone
turned off during the weekends and allow myself to relax on the sofa during the week, time permitting.
And the best thing: it works. After taking a break and allowing my mind to roam, it returns refreshed and
revitalized, with a fresh take on the challenges that I face during the day. When my daughter gets to an age
when she’s ready to whine ‘I’m bored’, I’ll know exactly what to say!

Part 2: Read the following extract and use your own words to summarise it. Your summary should be
between 70 and 80 words long. Write your summary in the space provided in a SEPARATE answer
sheet for WRITING.
Free music downloading is said to be a terrible habit of the new millennium generation. First and
foremost, downloading copyrighted material is piracy - an act of intellectual property theft punishable by
law. Second, the pirating community, which now consists of a significant population of music listeners, is
destroying record labels and the music industry in general with every illegal download. Finally, pirating is
stifling innovation by alternative, lesser known artists.
Anyone who walks into a music store and leaves with an array of music CDs without paying is
liable to face criminal charges. Yet, millions of people worldwide download entire album collections
without paying a dime and go unpunished. Any rational person who believes in free market enterprise and
the need for law and order should acknowledge that internet theft of MP3 files is just as illegal and
reprehensible as stealing from a local music store.
It's clear that most in the pirating community are applying a double standard when refusing to accept
illegal downloading as a crime. But even if they ignore the illegality of their act, they should at least show
concern for the artists that make the music they love so much and the record labels that represent them.
Record labels worldwide have reported staggering losses since the illegal file-sharing frenzy began. The
Japanese music market alone has complained of losing 30 percent of its value between 2000 and 2004
largely due to rampant illegal downloading.
Many pirates fashion themselves as crusaders for little-known artists. However, illegal downloaders
are making it difficult, if not impossible, for artists to be successful and innovative. Major artists and
record labels have mechanisms for recouping the costs they lose from internet music theft, but the small
artists who often release albums independently desperately need their music to be legally purchased in
order to survive and continue to make ground breaking music.
