Situation:
Two
Americans,
Bill
and
Tony,
are
talking
about
Tony’s
unhappy experience
with his Chinese college.
Bill: Hi, Tony. How’re you doing?
Tony: Fine. Just got back
from visiting the home of one of my Chinese
colleagues.
Bill: Oh, have a good time?
Tony: Oh yes, very
good.
Mind you, I was bit hurt about the way they
treated my present. You see, I know
they like western music so I brought
them back some of the latest tapes from
the UK. Had them all wrapped up
beautifully and gave them to them as
soon as I got inside the door and what
do you think happened?
Bill: What?
Tony: Nothing. Well, more or less, they
said thank you but then just put
them
away in a corner. Didn’t even bother to unwrap
them. I must say I felt
a bit miffed
after all the trouble I’d taken.

Over the past century, all
kinds of unfairness and discrimination have
been condemned. But one insidious form
continues to thrive: alphabetism.
This
refers to discrimination against those whose
surnames begin with a
letter in the
lower half of the alphabet.
It has long been known that a taxi firm
called AAA cars has a big
advantage
over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through
their phone
directories. Less well
known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has in
life
over
Zoe
Zysman.
English
names
are
fairly
evenly
spread
between
the
halves of the alphabet. Yet a large
number of top people have surnames
beginning with letters between A and K.
Thus
the
American
president
and
vice-president
have
surnames
starting with B and C respectively; and
26 of George Bush’s predecessors
had
surnames in the first half of the alphabet against
just 16 in the second
half. Even more
striking, six of the seven heads of government of
the G7
rich countries are
alphabetically advantaged. The world’s three top
central
bankers are all close to the
top of the alphabet, even if one of them really
uses
Japanese
characters,
as
are
the
world’s
five
richest
men
(
Gates,
Buffett,
Allen, Ellison and
Albrecht
)
.
Can
this
merely
be
coincidence
?
One
theory,
dreamt
up
in
all
the
spare time enjoyed by the
alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets
in early. At the start of the first
year in infant school, teachers seat pupils
7
alphabetically
from the front, to make it easier to remember
their names.
So shortsighted Zysman
junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely
asked the improving questions posed by
those insensitive teachers. At the
time
the
alphabetically
disadvantaged
may
think
they
have
had
a
lucky
escape. Yet the result may be worse
qualifications, because they get less
individual attention, as well as less
confidence in speaking publicly.
The humiliation continues. At
university graduation ceremonies, the
ABCs proudly get their awards first; by
the time they reach the Zysmans
most
people
are
literally
having
a
ZZZ.
Shortlists
for
job
interviews,
election ballot
papers, and lists of conference speakers: all tend
to be drawn
up alphabetically, and
their recipients lose interest as they plough
through
them.
A43. What does the author intend to
illustrate with AAA cars and Zodiac
ears?
A
)
A
kind of overlooked inequality.
B
)
A
type of conspicuous bias.
C
)
A
type of personal prejudice.
D
)
A
kind of brand discrimination.
D44. What can we infer from the first
three paragraphs?
A
)
In
both East and West, names are essential to
success.
B
)
The
alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoe
Zysman.
C
)
Customers often pay a lot of attention
to companies’ names.
8
D
)
Some form of discrimination is too
subtle to recognize.
C45.
The 4th paragraph suggests that ______.
A
)
questions are often put to the more
intelligent students
B
)
alphabetically disadvantaged students
often escape from class
C
)
teachers should pay attention to all of
their students
D
)
students should be seated according to
their eyesight
B46. What
does the author mean by “most people are literally
having a
ZZZ” in Paragraph 5?
A
)
They are getting impatient.
B
)
They are noisily dozing off.
C
)
They are feeling humiliated.
D
)
They are busy with word puzzles.
D47. Which of the following
is TRUE according to the
text
?
A
)
People with surnames beginning with N
to Z are often ill-treated.
B
)
VIPs in the Western world gain a great
deal from alphabetism.
C
)
The
campaign to eliminate alphabetism still has a long
way to go.
D
)
Putting things alphabetically may lead
to unintentional bias.

What the dream-phantasy
does with the physical stimuli cannot be
regarded as purposeful. The phantasy
plays a tantalizing game with them,
and
represents the organic source of the stimuli of
the dream in question
by any sort of
plastic symbolism. Indeed, Scherner holds that the
dream-
9
phantasy
has a certain favorite symbol for the organism as
a whole: namely,
the house.
Fortunately, however, for its representations, it
does not seem to
limit itself to this
material; it may also employ a whole series of
houses to
designate a single organ; for
example, very long streets of houses for the
intestinal
stimulus.
In
other
dreams
particular
parts
of
the
house
may
actually represent
particular regions of the body, as in the
headache-dream,
when
the
ceiling
of
the
room
(
which
the
dream
sees
covered
with
disgusting toad-like
spiders
)
represents the head.
Quite apart from the symbol of the
house, any other suitable object
may be
employed to represent those parts of the body
which excite the
dream. Thus the
breathing lungs find their symbol in the flaming
stove with
its windy roaring, the heart
in hollow chests and baskets, the bladder in
round, ball-shaped, or simply hollow
objects. It is particularly noteworthy
that at the end of such a physically
stimulated dream the phantasy, as it
were,
unmasks
itself
by
representing
the
exciting
organ
or
its
function
unconcealed.
Thus
the
“tooth-excited
dream”
usually
ends
with
the
dreamer taking a tooth out of his
mouth.
The dream-
phantasy may, however, direct its attention not
merely to
the form of the exciting
organ, but may even make the substance contained
therein the object of symbolization.
Thus, for example, the dream excited
by
the intestinal stimuli may lead us through muddy
streets, the dream due
to stimuli from
the bladder to foaming water. Or the stimulus as
such, the
10
nature
of
its
excitation,
and
the
object
which
it
covets,
are
represented
symbolically.
Or, again, the dream-ego enters into a concrete
association
with the symbolization of
its own state; as, for example, when in the case
of painful stimuli we struggle
desperately with vicious dogs or raging bulls.
Disregarding
all
the
possible
lengthiness
of
elaboration,
a
phantastic
symbolizing
activity remains as the central force of every
dream.
B48. The dream-
phantasy tends to represent the organism as a
whole by
______.
A
)
a
symbol
B
)
a house
C
)
a street
D
)
a symbol
A49. According
to the passage, which symbolization is probable in
a dream?
A
)
a
ceiling covered with spiders represents a head.
B
)
spiders represent a room.
C
)
roaring wind represents a breathing
lung.
D
)
a
ball represents a heart in chest.
C50. According to the
passage, at the end of a physically stimulated
dream,
______.
A
)
the
dreamer dreams to take a tooth out of his mouth
B
)
the dreamer dreams to take off his mask
C
)
the phantasy usually reveals which
organ excited the dream
D
)
the
phantasy becomes very clear and exciting
