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 46 to 55.
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.
It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect
their children from life’s obstacles. Parents, who handle every
difficulty and every other responsibility
for their children from 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. 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 her 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. 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.

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 71 to 80.
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. 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 with English-speaking parents
and two deaf infants with deaf parents using American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate.
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, 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. 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. 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.
