Question 1
A. (1)What would you do if you won ten million dollars in a lottery? (2)Your first reaction might be, “I’d
spend the rest of my life on the beach (or skiing or traveling).” (3)But in all likelihood you, like most other
people who receive financial windfalls, would seek some kind of work eventually. (4)A variety of motives
keeps people working, even when they don’t need a paycheck to survive. (5)If you’ve ever worked as a
volunteer, you know that helping someone can be more satisfying than receiving pay. (6)Work also provides a
sense of identity. (7)One man aged 81 said, “I’ve been in the fabric business since I was a kid, and I still get a
kick out of it.”
(8)Studies suggest that rats, pigeons, and children sometimes work to gain rewards, even if they can get the
same rewards without working. (9)One researcher wrote the following on the subject:
(10)Rats will run down an alley tripping over hundreds of food pellets to obtain a single, identical pellet in the
goal box, . . . and pigeons will peck a key . . . to get exactly the same food that is freely available in a nearby
cup. (11)Given the choice of receiving marbles merely by waiting a certain amount of time for their delivery,
children tend to prefer to press a lever . . . to get the same marbles.

Question 3
B. (1)In the late nineteenth century, proper heterosexual courtship took the form of “calling.” (2)When a young
woman reached marriageable age, she was allowed to receive male callers in her home, under the watchful eye
of a chaperone. (3)The entire calling system was controlled by women and took place in their sphere. (4)A
young man was allowed to pay a call only if he was definitely invited by a young woman or her mother. (5)It
was considered highly unsuitable for a man to force his attention on a lady by making the first move.
(6)By the mid-1920s, an entirely new system of courtshipthe datehad taken over. (7)Couples who dated
no longer sat together in the front parlor of a private home. (8)They went out to theaters, restaurants, and dance
halls. (9)This move into the public sphere gave couples unheard-of freedom. (10)It also changed power
relations between the sexes. (11)Men, who controlled the public sphere, now controlled courtship. (12)Now
