The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) ratings board provides general guidelines to help you decide
whether a movie is appropriate for your child. An R-rated film contains adult content. A PG-13 rating cautions parents
about material that may be inappropriate for kids under the age of 13. A PG (parental guidance suggested) rating means
the movie may contain material not suitable for young children, and a G (general audiences) means the movie’s okay for all.
Though the rating system can give you a rough idea of what’s appropriate, it’s wise to do some homework before
letting a child see any film. Read newspaper reviews, or visit movie-review websites. Once you know the content of a
particular film, you can make a decision. If you decide that a movie is inappropriate for your preteen, don’t cave in to
peer pressure and let him see it. Explain the decision to your child. Tell him, for instance, that you’re concerned that a
violent movie could cause nightmares. Make sure your child knows that you care about what he is watching. 【題組】10 We may infer from the passage that_____ .
(A) parents can rely only on film ratings when choosing an appropriate film
(B) parents don’t need to explain the film choice if it’s R-rated
(C) children can decide on which film to watch all by themselves
(D) children cannot watch an inappropriate film even if their friends do so
Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage: One of the most popular fields of study for college students
these days is leisure studies. The names of the courses, “Introduction to Sport” or “The Philosophy of Sport,” call
forth scenes of college students idly talking of Frisbees and sleeping on the grass. But leisure studies is a deadly
serious field: students learn how to run the sports programs of big city park departments, how to manage a ski
resort or a vacation hotel. The students learn how to organize a teenage soccer league where little or no interest
exists in the sport, how to teach and keep beginners interested, and how to keep track of admissions money. To do
all these things, they must take courses in psychology and business management along with those in leisure. As
people grow more involved in sports activities, in vacations, and in trips, the job outlook for leisure majors is quite
good; but can you imagine trying to explain to your parents that you’re spending their money studying leisure? 【題組】9 It is hard to explain to the parents that their children are spending money studying leisure because
(A) leisure studies programs are quite expensive.
(B) many parents feel college should be difficult and serious.
(C) there are few jobs available to current leisure studies majors.
(D) few major colleges now offer programs in leisure studies.
42 The author of the medical report is fully _____ of the problems in the hospital because he has been working there
for many years. (A) absent (B) aware (C) adequate (D) advertised
請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題：
For hundreds of years, psychologist and ordinary people have never stopped debating this fascinating question.
Some people think personality develops as a result of the environment—the combination of influences that we learn
from, such as our families, our culture, our friends, and our education. The people who believe this theory believe that
all babies are born without a personality and that it’s the environment that determines, or forms each child’s personality.
This school of thought is called the “nurture school.”
At the other end of the continuum we find people who believe that personality is determined by “nature,” or the
characteristics we receive, or “inherit,” from our parents biologically, through their genes. These people believe that our
personality is not determined by the environment, but rather by genetics, and that each baby is born with a personality.
The nature-nurture controversy is very old. Experimental psychologists have tried to discover which of these two factors,
genetics or the environment, is more important in forming our personality. However, it’s very difficult, if not impossible,
to conduct research on real people with real lives. There’s just no way to put people in a laboratory and watch them
develop. For this reason, there’s no scientific way to settle the nature-nurture controversy. Recently, however, most
researchers have come to believe that both the environment and the genes —nurture and nature—work together and are
both important.
【題組】49 For people who believe in nature, which of the following statements is true?
(A) Personality is determined by the environment.

(C) Each baby is born with a personality.
