Chester Arthur, the twenty-first President of the United States, was an
unlikely holder of the highest office in the land. Born in Vermont in
1830, he was son of an Irish immigrant father and a New Hampshire
mother. After becoming a lawyer in New York, he joined the Republican
Party and eventually came to hold a number of state offices there,
including a position as head of the New York Customs House. Though
personally honest, Arthur's administration was marred by corrupt
practices, and he was removed from office in 1878.
When James Garfield was elected as the Republican Party's presidential
candidate in 1880, Arthur, who belonged to a faction that had supported
the renomination of President Grant, was offered the Vice-Presidency as
a concilatory gesture. Arthur accepted, and then, in 1881, was elevated to
the Presidency following Garfield's assasination.
In view of his far-from-unblemished record and his lack of strong
political support, even within his own party, Arthur's move to the White
House was viewed with great concern by many Americans, but, to the
astonishment of most, his administration proved to be a competent and
honest one. However, he never was elected President in his own right,
being defeated for the nomination at his party's convention in 1884, and
dying in November two years later of Bright's disease during the
presidency of a Democrat, Grover Cleveland.

61: How does the writer describe the fact that Arthur became President?
because his support for President Grant was half-hearted
because of his previous record in office
because Garfield wanted to hold the Republican Party together

because there was a danger of Garfield's being assasinated 65. During his years as President, Arthur was

a cause of great concern to the American people

A preventive medicine specialist may have found the reason for the
"addictive" properties of regular exercise. The finding may also explain
why athletes often fail to notice an injury until after the competition is
over. Dr. Lee S. Berk has found that persons who exercise regularly
produce high levels of a natural opiate called beta-endorphin in response
to strenuous activity. This substance, a hormone produced by brain and
the pituitary gland, increases pain tolerance, counters stress, and imparts
a feeling of well-being. In his study of six men and six women who were
tested on a treadmill, those who jogged regularly and were physically fit
produced beta-endprphin more rapidly and in far greater amounts than
those who were usually sedentary. After the activity was stopped, beta-
endorphin vevels drops back to normal. In the nonrunners, only a small
rise in beta-endorphin occured while they exercised. However, a larger
increase in beta-endorphin production was noted some time after the
activity was finished, when it was ineffective. Dr.Berk noted that beta-
endorphin production may also account for other benefits of vigorous
exercise, sich as its ability to lower blood pressure and suppress appetite,
both of which are known effects of the hormone. "Beta-endorphin may
also explain why people become addicted to exercise," Dr. Berk said.

76: According to the passage, all of the following are direct effects of
beta-endorphin, EXCEPT

reduced stress
a feeling of well-being

80. It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following people
might benefit the most from the effects of beta-endorphin?

Those who want to lose weight.
Those addicted to opiates.
Those who work inefficiently.
Those with low blood pressure 81. Questions 81-90

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of
human knowledge. For many thousands of years, it was the one field of
awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of
insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age
ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of
preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and
their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the
basis of the food pyrami
d for all living things, even for other plants. They
have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not
only for food, but alsoo for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines,
shelter and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the
jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know
many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is
probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we
move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowldge
of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing
amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a


83. What does the comment "This is logical" in the passage mean?

There is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestors'
knowledge of plants.
It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of
plants.
It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behaved very much like
people in preindustrial societies.
Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed. 84. The phrase "properties of each" in the passage refers to each tribe

We live in a scientific age, which means that everything we do is based on
rational decisions and careful investigation of the facts. Nobody is given a
job because his eyes are blue, even though we sometimes refer to the
boss's favourite as his "blue-
eyed boy." Nobody buys a house because the
moon shines through the bedroom windows on certain nights in the
month. We would not dream of marrying someone simply because of the
shape of their fingernails. No, we all agree that we act, or try to act,
sensibly and as a result of using our brains.
If this is the case, I should like to know what makes so many people read
the horoscopes which are to be found in practically every newspaper and
magazine in the country. They will tell you, of course, that they do not

situations, but it soon became something more than a mere party trick. I
have sometimes been so accurate in my interpretations of the good and
bad features of character that I have unintentionally offended people I
liked.
It is important to distinguish between reading hands to interpret
character, and reading hands to predict an individual's future; the
former seems much more likely to have some basis of truth than the
latter. All the same, we have all met people who have been told things
about their future by gypsies, clairvoyants and the like, and who swear
that these things have come true. Many quite ordinary people, who make
no special claims to have the gift of foresight, have had premonitions of
such misfortunes as illness, deaths in the family and accidents; so many,
in fact, that there must be more to this business of foretelling the future
than meets the eye.
The paradox is that in this scientific age, when we claim to believe only
what we can prove, we go on reading horoscopes or visiting the fortune
teller at the fair, which are almost certainly worthless; but at the same
time, we refuse to take seriously the few scientific investigations that
have been made into what we might call the paranormal or the
supernatural. Obviously, we want to have our cake and e
at it. Personally,
I remain completely sceptical about astrology, but I am convinced that
our minds and our bodies are much mroe complex than we realise.
Therefore; it is foolish to reject some kinds of human experience just
because at the moment we cannot find any rational scientific explanation
for them.
