　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

The most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing can exceed the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally—or a sudden insight, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the “payoff” in education. A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in it—but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. That's up to you.

A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, that are basic to education. But the research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering, an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!

To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to approach the research paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this book can give you.

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” — feeling important and worthwhile— and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure” — finding life enjoyable — are not always identical. Women often are told“You can't have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is:“You chose a career, so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children — what's all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.

Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two dimensions. One is mastery, which includes self-esteem (自尊), a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other dimension, and it is composed of happiness, satisfaction and optimism (樂觀). It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.

The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and remedy past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are critical. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women rated significantly higher in mastery than did women who were not employed.

A woman's well-being is enhanced (增進) when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles—marriages, motherhood, and employment—were the highest in well-being, despite warnings about stress and strain.

36. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .

A) for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”

B) for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”

C) women can't have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same time

D) a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both indispensable to women

37. The author's attitude towards women having a career is .

A) critical B) positive C) neutral D) realistic

38. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, .

A) it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain

B) she will be more successful in her career

C) her chances of getting promoted will be greater

D) her life will be richer and more meaningful

39. Which of the following can be identified as a source of “pleasure” for women?

A) Family life. C) Multiple roles in society.

B) Regular employment. D) Freedom from anxiety.

40. The most appropriate title for the passage would be .

A) The well-being of Career Women C) Two Aspects of Women's Well-Being

B) Sources of Mastery and Pleasure D) Multiple Roles of Women in Society
