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 from 28 to 32.
In the early twentieth century, an American woman named Emily Post wrote a book on etiquette.
This book explained the proper behavior Americans should follow in many different social (28) ..........,
from birthday parties to funerals. But in modern society, it is not simply to know the proper rules for
behavior in your own country. It is necessary for people (29) .......... work or travel abroad to understand
the rules of etiquette in other cultures as well.
 

Cultural (30) .......... can be found in such simple processes as giving or receiving a gift. In
Western cultures, a gift can be given to the receiver with relatively little ceremony. When a gift is offered,
the receiver usually takes the gift and expresses his or her thanks. (31) .........., in some Asian countries,
the act of gift–giving may appear confusing to Westerners. In Chinese culture, both the giver and
receiver understand that the receiver will typically refuse to take the gift several times before he or she
finally accepts it. In addition, to (32) .......... respect for the receiver, it is common in several Asian
cultures to use both hands when offering a gift to another person.

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 questions from 33 to 37.
Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. In Korea,
for example, they have the custom of throwing lost teeth up on the roof of a house. According to
tradition, a magpie will come and take the tooth. Later, the magpie will return with a new tooth for the
child. In other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam, children follow a similar tradition of throwing
their lost teeth onto the roofs of houses.
 

Birds aren't the only animals thought to take lost teeth. In Mexico and Spain, tradition says a
mouse takes a lost tooth and leaves some money. However, in Mongolia, dogs are responsible for taking teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture and are considered guardian angels of the people.
 

Tradition says that the new tooth will grow good and strong if the baby tooth is fed to a guardian
angel. Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their child's lost tooth in a piece of meat and feed it to a
dog.
 

The idea of giving lost teeth to an angel or fairy is also a tradition in the West. Many children in
Western countries count on the Tooth Fairy to leave money or presents in exchange for a tooth. The
exact origins of the Tooth Fairy are a mystery, although the story probably began in England or Ireland
centuries ago. According to tradition, a child puts a lost tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed.
In the wee hours, while the child is sleeping, the Tooth Fairy takes the tooth and leaves something else
under the pillow. In France, the Tooth Fairy leaves a small gift. In the United States, however, the Tooth
Fairy usually leaves money. These days, the rate is $ 1 to $5 per tooth, adding up to a lot of money from
the Tooth Fairy!

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 questions from 38 to 45.
The oceans are so vast and deep that until fairly recently, it was widely assumed that no matter
how trash and chemicals humans dumped into them, the effects would be negligible. Proponents of
dumping in the oceans even had a catchphrase: "The solution to pollution is dilution."
 

Today, we need look no further than the New Jersey–size dead zone that forms each summer in
the Mississippi River Delta, or the thousand–mile–wide swath of decomposing plastic in the northern
Pacific Ocean to see that this "dilution" policy has helped place a once flourishing ocean ecosystem on
the brink of collapse.
 

There is evidence that the oceans have suffered at the hands of mankind for millennia. But
recent studies show that degradation, particularly of shoreline areas, has accelerated dramatically in the
past three centuries as industrial discharge and run–off from farms and coastal cities have increased.
 

Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminants that are outside the norm for a given
ecosystem. Common man–made pollutants reaching the oceans include pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, detergents, oil, sewage, plastics, and other solids. Many of these pollutants collect at the ocean's depths, where they are consumed by small marine organisms and introduced into the global food chain.
 

Many ocean pollutants are released into the environment far upstream from coastlines. Nitrogen–
rich fertilizers applied by farmers inland, for example, end up in local streams, rivers, and groundwater
and are eventually deposited in estuaries, bays, and deltas. These excess nutrients can spawn massive
blooms of algae that rob the water of oxygen, leaving areas where little or no marine life can exist.
 

Solid wastes like bags, foam, and other items dumped into the oceans from land or by ships at
sea are frequently consumed, with often fatal effects, by marine mammals, fish, and birds that mistake
them for food. Discarded fishing nets drift for many years, ensnaring fish and mammals. In certain
regions, ocean currents corral trillions of decomposing plastic items and other trash into gigantic, swirling garbage patches. One in the North Pacific, known as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is estimated to be the size of Texas.
 

Pollution is not always physical. In large bodies of water, sound waves can carry undiminished for
miles. The increased presence of loud or persistent sounds from ships, sonar devices, oil rigs, and even
from natural sources like earthquakes can disrupt the migration, communication, and reproduction
patterns of many marine animals, particularly aquatic mammals like whales and dolphins.
