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 blanks.In  recent  years,  there  has  been  a  remarkable  increase  in  research  into  happiness.  The  researchers have (71) ............ a number of factors which contribute to a definition of happiness.First  of  all,  there  is,  in  some  people,  a  moderate  genetic  predisposition  to  be  happy,  in  other  words, happiness (72) ............ in families. And happiness seems to correlate quite strongly with the main dimensions of personalities: extroverts are generally happier, neurotics are less so.Second,  people  often (73)  ............ good social  relations  as  a  reason for their  happiness. In  particular, friends  are  a  great (74)  ............  of  joy,  partly  because  of  the  agreeable  things  they  do  together,  partly because  of  the  way  friends  use  positive  non-verbal  signals  such  as  caressing  and  touching,  to  affirm  their friendship. Marriage and similar (75) ............relationships can also form the basis of lasting happiness.Third,  job  satisfaction  undoubtedly (76)  ............  overall  satisfaction,  and  vice  versa  –  perhaps  this  is why  some  people  are  happy  in  boring  jobs:  it  works  in  both  ways.  Job  satisfaction  is  caused  not  only  by  the essential  nature  of the  work,  but  also  by  social  interactions  with  co-workers.  Unemployment,  on the  contrary, can be a serious cause of unhappiness.Fourth, leisure is important because it is more under individual (77)............than most other causes of happiness.  Activities (78)  ............  sport  and  music,  and participation  in  voluntary  work  and  social  clubs  of various  kinds,  can  give  great  joy.  This  is  partly  because  of  the (79)  ............  themselves,  but  also  because  of the social support of other group members – it is very strong (80)............ the case of religious groups.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions ."The economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and development of the capitalistic system". The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what those of the seventeenth century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the great age of capitalist expansion.Our excellent natural resources paved the way for the development of abundant capital to increase our growth. Capital includes the tools – such as: machines, vehicles, and buildings – that makes the outputs of labor and resources more valuable. But it also includes the funds necessary to buy those tools. If a society had to consume everything it produced just to stay alive, nothing could be put aside to increase future productions. But if a farmer can grow more corn than his family needs to eat, he can use the surplus as seed to increase the next crop, or to feed workers who build tractors. This process of capital accumulation was aided in the American economy by our cultural heritage. Saving played an important role in the European tradition. It contributed to American’s motivation to put something aside today for the tools to buy tomorrow.The great bulk of the accumulated wealth of America, as distinguished from what was consumed, was derived either directly or indirectly from trade. Though some manufacturing existed, its role in the accumulation of capital was negligible. A merchant class of opulent proportions was already visible in the seaboard cities, its wealth as the obvious consequence of shrewd and resourceful management of the carrying trade. Even the rich planters of tidewater Virginia and the rice coast of South Carolina finally depended for their genteel way of life upon the ships and merchants who sold their tobacco and rice in the markets of Europe. As colonial production rose and trade expanded, a business community emerged in the colonies, linking the provinces by lines of trade and identity of interest.
