Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on yo ur answer sheet to i ndicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 56 to 65. Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training ha d kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the
1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Sma ll Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur". What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still e xcluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they've found out t hat isn't going to happen, so they go out on t heir own". In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22 - million- a- year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on t heir newspaper carriers- and her office was a bedroom at home, with a s hoebox unde r the bed to hold the company's cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer - science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock. Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is s till dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small. But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead. Question 56: W hat is the main idea of this passage? A. Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business world. B. The computer is especially lucrative for women today. C. Women are better at small business than men are. D. Women today are opening more business of their own.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to i ndicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 66 to 75. Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provid e the main source of energy for the body, and they also f unction to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and a mylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up ab out one- fourth to one- fifth of a person's diet. This translates to about 75 - 100 grams of carbohydrates per day. A d iet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person's health. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of carboh ydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis. This , however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build- up of ketones in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath. Question 66: W hat is the main idea of this passage? A.
