Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 35.
Most of us know a little about how babies learn to talk. From the time infants are born, they
hear language because their parents talk to them all the time. Between the ages of seven and ten
months, most infants begin to make sounds. They repeat the same sounds over and over again.
This is called babbling (Question 26). When babies babble, they are practicing their language.
What happens, though, to children who cannot hear? How do deaf children learn to
communicate? Recently, doctors have learned that deaf babies babble with their hands. Laura Ann
Petitto, a psychologist, observed three hearing infants (Question 27) with English-speaking parents
and two deaf infants (Question 27) with deaf parents using American Sign Language (ASL) to
communicate (Question 28). Dr. Petitto studied the babies three times: at 10, 12, and 14 months.
During this time, children really begin to develop their language skills.
After watching and videotaping the children for several hundred hours, the psychologist and
her assistants made many important observations. For example, they saw that the hearing children
made varied motions with their hands. However, there appeared to be no pattern to these motions.
The deaf babies also made different movements with their hands, but these movements were more
consistent and deliberate. The deaf babies seemed to make the same hand movements over and
over again. During the four-month period, the deaf babies’ hand motions started to resemble some
basic hand-shapes used in ASL. The children also seemed to prefer certain hand-shapes.
Hearing infants start first with simple syllable babbling (Question 31), then put more syllables
together to sound like real sentences and questions. Apparently, deaf babies follow this same
pattern, too. First, they repeat simple hand-shapes. Next, they form some simple hand signs and
use these movements together to resemble ASL sentences.
Linguists believe that our ability for language is innate (Question 34). In other words, humans
are born with the capacity for language: It does not matter if we are physically able to speak or not.
Language can be expressed in different ways- for instance, by speech or by sign. Dr. Petitto
believes this theory and wants to prove it. She plans to study hearing children who have one deaf
parent and one hearing parent. She wants to see what happens when babies have the opportunity to
learn both sign language and speech (Question 33). Does the human brain prefer speech? Some of
these studies of hearing babies who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent show that the
babies babble equally with their hands and their voices. They also produce their first words, both
spoken and signed, at about the same time. More studies in the future may prove that the sign
system of the deaf is the physical equivalent of speech.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 50
In my experience, freshmen today are different from those I knew when I started as a
counselor and professor 25 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and
socially. But students now are less mature and often not ready for the responsibility of being in
college (Question 41).
It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life’s
obstacle. Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children
writing admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their children’s
lack of coping strategies. But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today.
How many people do you know who are on medication to prevent anxiety or depression?
The number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has
increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a society, don’t want to “feel” anything
unpleasant and we certainly don’t want our children to “suffer”.
The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the
necessary skills to tolerate and negotiate adversity. As a psychologist, I am well aware of the fact
that some individuals suffer from depression and anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I
question the growing number of medicated adolescents today.
Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political
realities, but I don’t believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than that of the
past 10 years (Question 46). What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be
young “adults” with all the responsibilities of life.
What does this mean for college faculty and staff? We are required to assist in the basic
parenting of these students – the student who complains that the professor didn’t remind her of the
due date for an assignment that was clearly listed on the syllabus and the student who cheats on an
assignment in spite of careful instructions about plagiarism.
As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent college
student before we can even begin to teach. As parents and teachers we should expect young people
to meet challenges (Question 47+48). To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back
and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. This approach needs to begin at an
early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood (Question 49).
