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.

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 those 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 new people select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the 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 exercisegreat care in the wording of questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. 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 elicitthe 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 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 probefor a subject's underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.
Question 55. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live interviews _____.

A. can produce more information B. minimize the influence of the researcher

C. costless D. are easier to interpret

Question 56. The word "precise" is closest in meaning to______.

A. planned B. accurate C. rational D. required

Question 57. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Problems associated with interpreting surveys

B. The principles of conducting surveys

C. The importance of polls in American political life

D. The history of surveys in North America

Question 58. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with questionnaires is that______.

A. respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires

B. questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute

C. questionnaires are often difficult to read

D. respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions

Question 59. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?

A. Carefully worded questions

B. A high number of respondents

C. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results

D. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings

Question 60. The word "they" refers to ______.

A. opinions B. North Americans C. interviews D. news shows

Question 61. Which word is given definition in the text?

A. survey B. poll C. sampling D. interview

Question 62. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that they______.

A. are used only on television B. reflect political opinions

C. are not carefully worded D. are not based on a representative sampling
Question 63. According to the reading passage, there are ____ main categories of surveys.

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.

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions.

According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same "facial language". Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people's behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.

The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people's faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.
