Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct<br />
answer to each of the questions from 41 to 45.<br />
The United States has been criticized for its treatment of its elderly citizens. Although in many other countries<br />
the elderly usually live with children’s family, many older Americans live alone, without the close<br />
companionship of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the “selfishness” of the younger<br />
generation, but a closer look reveals that many of the elderly prefer to maintain their independent lives.<br />
Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are delighted to be<br />
visited from time to time by their children and grandchildren, they prefer to continue living in the<br />
surroundings that they are familiar with. This suggests that children should let their parents live alone if they<br />
wish to, but should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.<br />
Another surprising result of research on the elderly in the United States has been the very positive<br />
influence which pets have been found to have on the older that they live with. It has been shown that elderly<br />
people who care for small pets, such as cats and dogs, live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes<br />
towards their lives than similar older people without these companions.<br />

Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct<br />
answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.<br />
At this time of year, many students feel anxious while they wait to find out their exam scores. I am concerned<br />
about exam scores, too. This makes me think that all the stress they cause is bad for our health. In my opinion,<br />
schools should focus less on other ways of learning.<br />
It is important to ask “what are exams really for?”. The teachers tell us that exams are for testing how<br />
much we have learned. Personally, I think that exams mostly just test how well people take exams! It seems to<br />
me that those who get high scores are good at taking exams, but they are not always the best students. They<br />
may be good at studying details and memorizing facts but that does not mean they are the smartest students in<br />
the class.<br />
I believe that students would learn more at school if they could focus on learning together with other<br />
students in class and with the teacher. The time we spend preparing for and taking exams could be spent<br />
sharing ideas instead of memorizing facts. Also, if teachers gave students more of their time and attention,<br />
they would know more about our learning abilities and not need to give us tests all the time.<br />
(Adapted from "Preparation Book for TOEFL Junior Test")<br />

A. they call for new ways of learning<br />
B. they cause a lot of stress<br />
C. they force students to focus<br />

Question 49: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.<br />
A. exams<br />
B. schools<br />
