passage.Last summer,Derek completed a research project for his psychology thesis.He was studying child behaviour and wanted to(31)trace bad behavior back to its source.Derek took children of different ages and put them in a(n)(32)mostly empty room;there were only a few toys and a small(33)couch to lie down on.He then presented them with different stimuli that they might encounter during the day.For example,he would play music at a loud or soft(34)volume;adjust the lighting to be very bright or very dim;or fill the room with different smells,both good and bad.He had a(n)(35)catalog of several hundred(36)distinct stimuli.It was interesting to watch the childrens behaviour(37)diverge in response to the changing environment.Nearly all children eventually displayed some form of(38)naughty behaviour,but some of them created a serious(39)comprehend in the room and had to be removed.The reactions were all fascinating,and Derek recorded everything that happened.He is now trying to(40)unfold the meaning of these results and the implications for child behaviour.Hopefully,his work will help clarify and identify potential sources of misbehaviour.Your answer Correct answer

Part III:Reading Comprehension Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Until very recently,most people assumed that the ability to feel and exhibit emotions was limited to human beings.It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness,sadness,jealousy,anger,or grief.It wasnt that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans;the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals.However,such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers are uncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions.In some cases,these emotions are very obvious!Dog owners have known this for a long time.If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner,it will often hang its head low and exhibit puppy-dog eyes.The dog knows it has been naughty and this is,in effect,its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals emotional behaviour is when they show aggression.In some cases,it doesnt take very much for animals to become irritated and angry.Dogs,wolves,lions,tigers,birdsnearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration.In fact,animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals emotional behaviour.For example,some animals grieve over deceased family members,some dream and have nightmares,some display pride in the work demanded of them,some exhibit friendship and cooperation,and many show love.Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon.Based on the biological and scientific evidence,it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions.Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings,and its time for more people to understand that were all part of one big emotional family.41.According to the article,which of the following was a general assumption made throughout much of history A.People feel a wide range of emotions.B.Animals feel a wide range of

D.descriptive 43.Which of the following would make the best title for this article A.The Limited Emotional Lives of Animals B.A Monopoly on Emotional Behavior C.Emotions are Universal D.Animals are People Too 44.What is meant by puppy-dog eyes(Para 2)A.Eyes that are full of emotion.B.Eyes that show no emotion.C.Eyes that belong to a puppy.D.Eyes that look like a puppys.45.Which of the following does the author NOT present in order to support the topic A.Popular opinion.B.Personal opinion.C.Scientific evidence.D.Biological research.
