In the past decade academics have been involved in investigating differences between men and women. Researchers have been especially interested in discovering what women can do better than men. As far as language is concerned, studies show that girls begin talking before boys and are capable of producing more varied and sophisticated sentences. In addition to having a better command of the language, women also appear to have better social skills and are more likely to be complimentary than men. Another area that has been investigated is how men and women lead. Women try to share power and make their employees feel more worthwhile. Men, on the other hand, like to demonstrate their authority more formally and seem to care more about hierarchy. However, it is worth remembering that study results reflect averages, and there will always be exceptions.

A) secretaries are in capable of solving sophisticated problems.
B) are better at being an authoritative leader.
C) directors prefer female secretaries.
D) are, without exceptions, friendly and sincere to the employees.
E) are more capable of learning and using the language.

A) In recent years, historians have emphasized more the economic and social forces that have an impact on the lives of lower-class people, but less the stories about upper-class political confrontations.
B) Stories about the upper classes and their political differences have not received much
emphasis from historians in recent years, while more emphasis has been put on the economic
and social developments that have affected the lives of lower-class people.
C) The economic and social factors that shape the lives of lower-class people have often been
emphasized by historians in recent years, since stories about the upper classes and their political
quarrels no longer receive any attention.

their political conflicts, but more on the economic and social forces that shape the lives of lowerclass people.
E) In recent years, historians’ emphasis on the economic and social developments that have shaped the lives of lower-class people rather

The long-expected decline in the dollar is now well under way. For years economists have predicted that America's huge current-account deficit would eventually cause its currency to plunge. So far the dollar's slide has been fairly gradual: it is down by 13% in trade-weighted terms over the past year, though it has dropped by almost twice as much against the euro since its 2001 peak. As the decline seemed to pick up speed this week, John Snow, George Bush's Treasury Secretary, declared that he favours a 'strong dollar policy'. That was surely the wrong answer, even leaving aside the debatable issue of whether cabinet secretaries can influence the level of exchange tales. A weaker, not a stronger dollar, is what the world needs now - so long as policymakers elsewhere respond appropriately. America promoted a strong dollar throughout the 1990s, when inflation was still thought to be the main enemy. Today it makes less sense. Even after its recent slide, the dollar seems overvalued. Moreover, with ample space capacity in America, deflation looks a bigger risk than inflation.
According to the passage, what has brought about the fall of the American dollar —.
A) is the erratic global fluctuations in exchange rates
B) is the enormous deficit experienced by the American economy
C) has been a persistent recession in the global economy
D) is the wrong economic policies introduced by John Snow, Treasury Secretary
E) is the unexpected rise in the value of the euro
No child is too young to play and therefore to engage in engineering, even though it is of a primitive kind. We all did so as children ourselves, when we devised our own toys and games - and sometimes even imaginary friends to enjoy them with us. The idea of playfulness is embedded in engineering through the concepts of invention and design. Not that engineering is trivial; rather, the heart of the activity is to give imagination its freedom to dream and turn those dreams into reality. Children do experience the essence of engineering in their earliest activities, yet there is seldom any recognition that this is the case. They may hear the word 'engineer' only in connection with railroad locomotives and have no idea that their playful activity could become a lifelong profession. Engineers themselves are understandably reluctant to equate their professional activity with mere child's play; after all, they studied long and hard to master complicated knowledge of atoms and molecules, stresses and strains, heat and power, current and voltages, bits and bytes. They manipulate equations, not blocks. They use computers for serious modelling and calculation, not for fun and games. They design and build real towers and bridges that test the limits of reliability and safety, not toy ones that totter and fall down with little consequence.
The main point the writer is making in this passage is that ------.
A) man has practised engineering ever since primitive times
B) some children are born to be engineers
C) children and engineers both have the capacity to imagine and create
D) reliability and safety are minor details for the professional engineer
E) any engineering fault in design or calculation does have serious consequences

Energy can be transformed from one form to another. A stone held high in the air has potential energy; as it falls, it loses potential energy, since its height above the ground decreases. At the same time, it gains in kinetic energy, since its velocity is increasing. Potential energy is being transformed into kinetic energy. ---- At the base of the dam, the kinetic energy of the water can be transferred into turbine blades and further transformed into electric energy.
A) As for potential energy, it is the energy associated with forces that depend on the position or configuration of a body or bodies and the surroundings.

as the water falls.
D) Besides the kinetic and potential energy of ordinary objects, there are other forms of energy,
which include electric energy, nuclear energy, thermal energy, and chemical energy.
