Thus, males are often described as ambitious, unemotional, and independent and, on the other hand, selfish, unrefined, and insensitive. Females are described as emotional, irrational, high-strung, and tentative. In spite of the egalitarian movement, recent studieshave demonstrated that sex-trait stereotypes remain common among young adults today. In fact, such stereotyping has proved to be the psychological justification for social beliefs concerning the appropriateness of various activities for men and women that further perpetuate the different sex roles traditionally ascribed to men and women.The awareness of sex – trait stereotypes in the United States developes a linear fashion between the ages of four and ten. Generally, knowledge of male stereotypical characteristics develops earlier, whereas knowledge of female characteristics increases more rapidly between the ages of four and seven. While the reasons for this learning are not fully understood, evidence suggests that at the preschool level children’s literature and television programs provide powerful models and reinforcement for stereotyped views.Studies designed to compare sex-trait stereotypes cross – nationally show a high degree of correspondence in the characteristics ascribed to men and women. As finding have been obtained in the other countries, two hypotheses have been advanced to explain the commonalities in sex trait stereotyping. One states that pancultural similarities play a role in the psychological characteristics attributed to men and women, and the second states that the general picture is one of cultural relativism.51.

No other force that affects the sea is so strong. Compared with the tides, the waves created by the wind are surface movements felt no more than a hundred fathoms below the surface. The currents also seldom involve more than the upper several hundred fathoms despite their impressive sweep.The tides are a response of the waters of the ocean to the pull of the Moon and the more distant Sun. In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between the water and even the outermost star of the universe. In reality, however, the pull of remote stars is so slight as to be obliterated by the control of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Just as the Moon rises later each day by fifty minutes, on the average, so, in most places, the time of high tide is correspondingly later each day. And as the Moon waxes and wanes in its monthly cycle, so the height of the tide varies. The tidal movements are strongest when the Moon is a sliver in the sky, and when it is full. These are the highest flood tides and the lowest ebb tides of the lunar month and are called the spring tides. At these times, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are nearly in line and the pull of the two heavenly bodies is added together to bring the water high on the beaches, to send its surf upward against the sea cliffs, and to draw a high tide into the harbors. Twice each month, at the quarters of the Moon, when the Sun, Moon, and Earth lie at the apexes of a triangular configuration and the pull of the Sun and Moon are opposed, the moderate tidal movements called neap tides occur. Then the difference between high and low water is less than at any other time during the month. 66. The word felt is closest in meaning toA. explored B. dropped C. detected D. based67.

Neap tides occur when… A. the Sun counteracts the Moon’s gravitational attractionB. waves created by the wind combine with the Moon’s gravitational attractionC. the Moon is fullD. the Moon is farthest from the Sun71. What is the cause of the spring tides?A. Seasonal changes in the weatherB. The triangular arrangment of the Earth, Sun, and MoonC. The Earth’s movement around the SunD. The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon when nearly in line with the Earth72. Where in the passage does the author mention movements of ocean water other than those caused by tides? A. Lines 11 - 13 B. Lines 2 – 6 C. Lines 19 - 23 D. Lines 13 – 1673. What is the main point of the first paragraph?A. The tides are the most powerful force to affect the movement of ocean waterB.
