As we watched them, there was a sudden swirl in the water. We caught a glimpse of the vicious jaws of a pike - a fish which is rather like a freshwater shark - and one of the ducklings was dragged below the surface. This incident made Peter furious. He vowed to catch the pike. On three successive mornings we returned to the vicinity and used different kinds of bait. On the third day Peter was lucky. Using an artificial frog as bait, he managed to hook the monster. There' was a desperate fight but Peter was determined to capture the pike and he succeeded.

Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage: Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep roots in society and culture. Psychologists believe that group identity and cohesion depend to a large extent on having a common enemy. It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is an important element in defining who we are within a larger realm. It could be said that human beings love to hate. The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistake, immediately accuses another child or an inanimate object such as a teddy bear. Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups vie for attention and influence. These basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life. One area where deep-rooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic clashes that constantly occur around the globe. These conflicts are not only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose. For many, there is no "us" without a "them" to hate. In a world where conflict between superpowers is on the decline, it may be that humanity will have difficulty adapting to a state of mutual respect and cooperation. 46. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Roots of Society B. Group Unity C. A Basic Emotion D. Social and Cultural Problems 47. According to the passage, what is believed to be an important aspect of defining group identity? A. Facing a common enemy B. Being reluctant to hate C. Accepting blame for past actions D. Ignoring a larger realm. 48. In line 9, the word "vie" could be best replaced by which of the following? A. cooperate B. ccmpete C. maripulate D. defend 49. According to the passage, early childhood responses to blame .......... A. are not related to stronger feelings in adulthood. B. are complex expressions of emoiion. C. demonstrate now human be ngs love to hate. D. are not well understood by psychologists. 50. The author suggests that when children make mistakes, they ........... A. join rival gangs on schoolyard playgrounds. B. rarely accept responsibility for their actions. C. need emotional support from personal objects like teddy bears. D. readily admit to their errors.
