A
few
decades
ago,
the
world
banking
community
invented
new
Electronic
Funds
Transfer
(EFT)
systems
to
move
money
more
efficiently
across
countries
and
around
the
globe.
The
___21__benefit
of
such
systems
was
to
__22___the
float
of
capital
that
was
unavailable
for
?
__23__
checks
were
being
cleared
through
banking__24__.
Today,
we
understand
that
benefits
of
electronic
banking
are
far
more
_25__
than
just
reducing
floating
cash.
The

and

but
more

And

EFT

more
than
the
__32__economic

of
all
the

and
territories
of
the

These

Such

to
the
idea
of
an
emerging
“worldwide
mind.”
Without
the
satellite
and
fiber
infrastructure
to
support
the
flow
of
electronic
funds,
the
world
economy
would
grind
to
a
halt.

Questions
36
to
40
are
based
on
the
following
passage:
Working
at
nonstandard
times
－
evenings,
nights,
or
weekends
－
is
taking
its
toll
on
American
families.
One-
fifth
of
all
employed
Americans
work
variable
or
rotating
shifts,
and
one-third
work
weekends,
according
to
Harriet
B.
Presser,
sociology
professor
at
the
University
of
Maryland.
The
result
is
stress
on
familial
relationships,
which
is
likely
to
continue
in
coming
decades.
The
consequences
of
working
irregular
hours
vary
according
to
gender,
economic
level,
and
whether
or
not
children
are
involved.
Single
mothers
are
more
likely
to
work
nights
and
weekends
than
married
mothers.
Women
in
clerical,
sales,
or
other
low-paying
jobs
participate
disproportionately
in
working
late
and
graveyard
shifts.
Married-couple
households
with
children
are
increasingly
becoming
dual-earner
households,
generating
more
split-shift
couples.
School-
aged
children,
however,
may
benefit
from
parents’
nonstandard
work
schedules
because
of
the
greater
likelihood
that
a
parent
will
be
home
before
or
after
school.
On
the
other
hand,
a
correlation
exists
between
nonstandard
work
schedules
and
both
marital
instability
and
a
decline
in
the
quality
of
marriages.
Nonstandard
working
hours
mean
families
spend
less
time
together
for
diner
but
more
time
together
for
breakfast.
One-
on-one
interaction
between
parents
and
children
varies,
however,
based
on
parent,
shift,
and
age
of
children.
There
is
also
a
greater
reliance
on
child
care
by
relatives
and
by
professional
providers.
Working
nonstandard
hours
is
less
a
choice
of
employees
and
more
a
mandate
of
employer.
Presser
believes
that
the
need
for
swing
shifts
and
weekend
work
will
continue
to
rise
in
the
coming
decades.
She
reports
that
in
some
European
countries
there
are
substantial
salary
premiums
for
employees
working
irregular
hours-
sometimes
as
much
as
50%
higher.
The
convenience
of
having
services
available
24
hours
a
day
continues
to
drive
this
trend.
Unfortunately,
says
Presser,
the
issue
is
virtually
absent
from
public
discourse.
She
emphasizes
the
need
for
focused
studies
on
costs
and
benefits
of
working
odd
hours,
the
physical
and
emotional
health
of
people
working
nights
and
weekends,
and
the
reasons
behind
the
necessity
for
working
these
hours.
“Nonstandard
work
schedules
not
only
are
highly
prevalent
among
American
families
but
also
generate
a
level
of
complexity
in
family
functioning
that
needs
greater
attention,”
she
says.

Questions
41
to
45
are
based
on
the
following
passage:
Most
human
beings
actual1y
decide
before
they
think.
When
any
human
being
－
executive,
specialized
expert,
or
person
in
the
street
－
encounters
a
complex
issue
and
forms
an
opinion,
often
within
a
matter
of
seconds,
how
thoroughly
has
he
or
she
explored
the
implications
of
the
various
courses
of
action?
Answer:
not
very
thoroughly.
Very
few
people,
no
matter
how
inte1ligent
or
experienced,
can
take
inventory
of
the
many
branching
possibilities,
possible
outcomes,
side
effects,
and
undesired
consequences
of
a
policy
or
a
course
of
action
in
a
matter
of
seconds.
Yet,
those
who
pride
themse1ves
on
being
decisive
often
try
to
do
just
that.
And
once
their
brains
lock
onto
an
opinion,
most
of
their
thinking
thereafter
consists
of
finding
support
for
it.
A
very
serious
side
effect
of
argumentative
decision
making
can
be
a
lack
of
support
for
the
chosen
course
of
action
on
the
pat
of
the
“losing”
