(Questiоns 1–5) Answer the suppоrting-detаil questiоns thаt follow the pаssage. 1 In any vital city, a sidewalk has uses far beyond easing the passage of pedestrians. 2 Front steps facing the sidewalk are places for neighbors to sit and visit, just as corners are places to “hang out.” 3 Sidewalk street life also serves as a means of public surveillance, through which people come to know each other and to identify strangers. 4 Sociologist Jane Jacobs points out that in areas where street life abounds, crime rates are low. 5 In addition, sidewalks are environments where children explore their neighborhood, test themselves, and grasp the rules of urban social life. 6 Finally, street life brings a sense of community to a neighborhood. 7 South Philadelphia, New York’s Lower East Side, New Orleans’s French Quarter, and San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district all maintain a positive identity based on their street life.

(Questiоns 18–20) Answer the suppоrting-detаil questiоns thаt follow the pаssage. 1 Since the year 2000, the population of people over the age of fifty in the United States has rapidly increased, while the number of people under the age of fifty has remained relatively stable. 2 There are two reasons for this rapid aging of our society. 3 The first is the baby boom that began in the late 1940s. 4 With the end of World War II, men and women quickly settled into family life and, by 1965, had some 75 million babies. 5 This enormous population boom led to the youth culture of the 1960s. 6 And as the baby boomers continue to age, they will produce an “elder boom” which is expected to peak around 2025. 7 The second explanation for the aging of our society is increasing life expectancy. 8 Improvements in medicine and nutrition have resulted in people living longer than ever. 9 Newborns today can expect to live thirty years longer than those born in 1900. 10 The sharp and recent increase in the number of elderly people—here and around the world—supports the surprising fact that more than half of all the elderly people who have ever lived are alive today.

(Questiоns 14–17) Answer the suppоrting-detаil questiоns thаt follow the pаssage. 1 In education, as in other fields, new technologies tend to go through three stages of application. 2 In the first stage, the technology is applied to things we already do. 3 For instance, when microcomputer programs were first introduced into education, computer programs were created to simulate flash cards for math drill. 4 As a technology moves into the second stage, it is used to improve on the tasks we do. 5 As an example, a more sophisticated math software application can provide remedial instruction when a student makes the same mistake more than once. 6 It can also expand to cover more math topics and increase motivation by using game-like activities. 7 In the final stage of maturity, the technology is used to do things that were not possible before. 8 An example of technology in this stage would be a geographic information system (GIS) which can translate data to a digital map. 9 The power of a GIS comes from its ability to display several layers of maps on a computer screen at a single time. 10 This kind of application enables students to pull together their knowledge and skills from disciplines in a collaborative manner to solve a problem in their local communities.

(Questiоns 10–13) Answer the suppоrting-detаil questiоns thаt follow the pаssage. 1 Conflict is an inevitable part of every person’s life. 2 Everyone deals with conflict in a more or less individual manner. 3 At the same time, five general patterns of reacting to conflict can be identified. 4 One such pattern is withdrawal, the physical or psychological removal from a conflict situation. 5 Another manner of dealing with conflict is surrender, giving in immediately to another’s wishes in order to avoid an argument. 6 Aggression is a third way to deal with conflict. 7 Those favoring aggressive behavior try to force other people to accept the aggressor’s opinions. 8 Conflict also can be dealt with through persuasion, or attempting to change the behavior or attitude of another person. 9 A final means of dealing with conflict is discussion, or verbal problem solving, in which the pros and cons of the issue in conflict are weighed and considered.
