Questions 21—25 are based on the following passage:

Do people in your country hug in the street? In some countries， it is common for people to show affection in public places. In the United States， for example， we often see couples hold hands， hug and kiss on the street， in the park， in the restaurant and even on trains and buses. But in some other countries， people never show affection in public places because their customs don’t permit this， for example， in Korea and China. So， when Korean and Chinese people visit the United States， they sometimes feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss on the street.
In some countries， friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries， female friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia， male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most countries， men don’t kiss or hug when they greet each other. They usually shake hands or pat each other on the back.
People around the world are different in the amount， manner and situation in which they touch each other.

Questions 26—30 are based on the following passage：

In this experiment， Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson studied the way that innocent subjects might be affected by another person’s expectations. First， they gave an intelligence test to the entire student body at an unnamed primary school in the San Francisco area. Then， they selected students at random and told their teachers that the students’ tests had shown that they were about to experience a period of rapid learning. Teachers did not change their methods or materials for teaching the selected students， but at the end of the year， when the test was administered again， first and second graders who had been selected had， in fact， gained twice as many I.Q. points as other children. The experiments concluded that they had performed better because they had been given more attention. Teachers had challenged them and had given them more positive reinforcement because they had expected more from them.
