Passage 1
One of the greatest public speaking failures of my career took place last summer at Valparaiso University,
Indiana where I addressed a convention of editors of college newspapers. I said many screamingly funny

had offended the audience. He replied that they had hoped I would moralize. They had hired me as a
moralist.
So now when I speak to students, I do moralize. I tell them not to take more than they need, not to be
greedy. I tell them not to kill, even in self-defence. I tell them not to pollute water or the atmosphere.
I tell them not to raid the public treasury. I tell them not to commit war crimes or to help others to commit
war crimes. These morals go over very well. They are of course echoes of what the young say to themselves.
I had a friend from Schenectady visited me recently, and he asked me this, Why are fewer and fewer
young Americans going into science each year? I hold him that the young were impressed by the war
crimes trials at Nuremberg. They were afraid that careers in science could all too easily lead to the
commission of war crimes. They dont want to work on the development of new weapons. They dont want
to make discoveries which will lead to improved weapons. They dont want to work for corporations that
pollute water or atmosphere or raid the public treasury. So they go into other fields. They become physicists
who are so virtuous that they dont go into physics at all.
At the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, the students have been raising hell about the university doing
secret government work. I go to talk with some of the students about the protests that had been made
against the recruiters of Dow Chemicals, manufacturers of napalm among other things.
I offered the opinion that an attack on a Dow recruiter was about as significant as an attack on the doorman
or theatre usher. I didnt think the recruiter stood for anything.
I called attention to the fact that during the Dow protest at Harvard a couple of years back, the actual
inventor of napalm was able to circulate through the crowd of protestors unmolested. I didnt find the fact
that he was unmolested reprehensible. I saw it as a moral curiosity. Though I did not mean to suggest to
the students at Ann Arbor that the inventor of napalm should have been given one hell of a time.
81. In this address at Valparaiso University, the author
a. became the greatest public speaker of the summer.
b. made the audience laugh a lot by screaming in a funny way.

Passage 2
Sir Thomas was indeed the life of the party, who at his suggestion now seated themselves round the fire.
He had the best right to be the talker; and the delight of his sensation in being again in his own house, in
the centre of his family, after such a separation, made him communicative and chatty in a very unusual
degree; and he was ready to answer every question of his two sons almost before it was put. All the little
particulars of his proceedings and events, his arrivals and departures, were most promptly delivered, as
he sat by Lady Bertram and looked with heartfelt satisfaction at the faces around him interrupting
himself more than once, however, to remark on his good fortune in finding them all at home-coming
unexpectedly as he did all collected together exactly as he could have wished, but dared not to depend
on.
But not one of the circle was he listened to with such unbroken, unalloyed enjoyment as by his wife,
whose feelings were so warmed by his sudden arrival, as to place her nearer agitation than she had been
for the last twenty years. She had been almost fluttered for a few minutes, and still remained so sensibly
animated as to put away her work, move Pug from her side, and give all her attention and all the rest of her
sofa to her husband. She had no anxieties for anybody to cloud her pleasure; her own time had been
irreproachably spent during his absence; she had done a great deal of carpet work and made many yards
of fringe; and she would have answered as freely for the good conduct and useful pursuits of all the young
people as for her own. It was so agreeable to her to see him again, and hear him talk, to have her amused
and her whole comprehension filled by his narratives, that she began particularly to feel how dreadfully
she must have missed him, and how impossible it would have been for her to bear a lengthened absence.
Mrs. Norris was by no means to be compared in happiness to her sister. Not that she was incommoded
by many fears of Sir Thomas disapprobation when the present state of his house should be known, for
her judgment had been so blinded, that she could hardly be said to show any sign of alarm; but she was
vexed by the manner of his return. It had left her nothing to do. Instead of being sent for out of the room,
and seeing him first, and having to spread the happy news through the house, Sir Thomas, with a very
reasonable dependence perhaps on the nerves of his wife and children, had sought no confidant but the
Page 16 MAT FLT
butler, and had been following him almost instantaneously into the drawingroom. Mrs. Norris felt herself
defrauded of an office on which she had always depended, whether his arrival or his death were to be the
thing unfolded; and was now trying to be in a bustle about. Would Sir Thomas have consented to eat, she
might have gone to the housekeeper with troublesome directions; but Sir Thomas resolutely declined all
dinner; he would take nothing, nothing till tea came he would rather wait for tea. Still Mrs. Norris was
at intervals urging something different; and in the most interesting moment of his passage to England,
when the alarm of a French privateer was at the height, she burst through his recital with the proposal of
soup. "Sure, my dear Sir Thomas, a basin of soup would be much better thing for you than tea. Do have
a basin of soup."
Sir Thomas could not be provoked. "Still the same anxiety for everybody's comfort, my dear Mrs. Norris,"
was his answer. "But indeed I would rather have nothing but tea."
86. Which of the following titles best describes the passage?
a. An Unexpected Return b. The Conversion of the Upper Class
c. Mrs. Norris Grievance d. A Romantic Reunion
87. We can infer from the opening paragraph that Sir Thomas is customarily
a. unwelcome at home. b. tardy in business affairs.
c. dissatisfied with life. d. more restrained in speech.
88. The passage suggests that Sir Thomas' sudden arrival
a. was motivated by concern for his wife.
b. came as no surprise to Lady Bertram.
c. was received with mixed emotions.
d. was timed by him to coincide with a family reunion.
89. Sir Thomas' attitude towards Mrs. Norris can be best described as one of
a. sharp irritation. b. patient forbearance.
c. solemn disapproval. d. unreasoned alarm.
90. The office of which Mrs. Norris feels herself defrauded is most likely that of
a. butler. b. housekeeper.
c. message-bearer. d. wife.
Passage 3
In Rome, defeated enemies were generally put to death as criminals for having offended the emperor. In the
Middle Ages, however, the practice of ransoming, or returning prisoners in exchange for money, became
common.Though some saw this custom as a step towards a more humane society, the primary reason
behind it was economic rather than humanitarian. In those times, rulers had only a limited ability to raise
taxes. They could neither force their subjects to fight nor pay them to do so. The promise of material
compensation in the form of goods and ransom was therefore the only way of inducing combatants to
participate in a war. In the Middle Ages, the predominant incentive for the individual soldier to participate in
a war was the expectation of spoils. Although collecting ransom clearly brought financial gain, keeping a
prisoner and arranging for his exchange had its costs. Consequently, several procedures were devised to
reduce transaction costs.
MAT FLT Page 17
One such device was a rule asserting that the prisoner had to assess his own value. This compelled the
prisoner to establish a value without much distortion; indicating too low a value would increase the captives
chances of being killed, while indicating too high a value would either ruin him financially or create a
prohibitively expensive ransom that would also result in death.
A second means of reducing costs was the practice of releasing a prisoner on his word of honour. This
procedure was advantageous to both parties since the captor was relieved of the expense of keeping the
prisoner while the captive had freedom of movement. The captor also benefited financially by having his
captive raise the ransom himself. This parole was a viable practice since the released prisoner risked
recapture or retaliation against his family. Moreover, in medieval society, breaking ones word had serious
consequences. When, for example, King Francois I broke his word to the Emperor Charles V in 1525, his
reputation suffered immensely.
A third method of reducing costs was the use of specialized institutions to establish contact between the
two parties. Two types of institutions emerged: professional dealers who acted as brokers, and members
of religious orders who acted as neutral intermediaries. Dealers advanced money for the ransom and
charged interest on the loan. Two of the religious orders that became intermediaries were the Mercedarians
and the Trinitarians who between them arranged the ransom of nearly one million prisoners.
91. The primary purpose of the passage is to
a. discuss the economic basis of the medieval practice of exchanging prisoners for ransom.
b. examine the history of the treatment of prisoners of war.
c. emphasize the importance of a warriors word of honour during the Middle Ages.
d. explore three ways of reducing the costs of ransom.
92. It can be inferred from the passage that a medieval soldier
a. was less likely to kill captured members of opposing armies than was a soldier of the Roman
Empire.
b. was similar to a 20th-century terrorist in that he operated on a basically independent level and
was motivated solely by economic incentives.
c. had few economic options and choose to fight because it was the only way to earn an adequate
living.
d. was motivated to spare prisoners lives by humanitarian rather than economic ideals.
93. Which of the following best describes the change in policy from executing prisoners in Roman times
to ransoming prisoners in the Middle Ages?
a. The emperor of Rome demanded more respect than did medieval rulers, and thus Roman
subjects went to greater lengths to defend their incentives.
b. It was a reflection of the lesser degree of direct control medieval rulers had over their subjects.
c. It became a show of strength and honour for warriors of the Medieval Ages to be able to capture
and return their enemies.
d. Medieval soldiers were not as humanitarian as their ransoming practices might have indicated.
94. The author uses the phrase without much distortion in order
a. to indicate that prisoners would fairly assess their worth.
b. to emphasize the important role medieval prisoners played in determining whether they should
be ransomed.
c. to explain how prisoners often paid more than an appropriate ransom to increase their chances
for survival.
d. suggest that captors and captives often had understanding relationships.
Page 18 MAT FLT
95. All of the following are mentioned in the passage as actions that were taken to ensure that ransoming
prisoners was a profitable operation EXCEPT
a. each prisoner was made to designate the amount of ransom to be paid for his return.
b. prisoners were released on the condition that they guaranteed that their ransoms would be paid.
c. professional intermediaries were employed to facilitate the smooth exchange of prisoner and
ransom, at a price to the prisoner.
d. medieval rulers promised to aid soldiers in their efforts to collect ransom.
Passage 4
The great sportswoman that she has proved herself to be, Anju Bobby George who became the first
Indian woman to win a medal at a prestigious world athletic meet with great generosity of spirit dedicated
her bronze to the one billion people of India. A very quotable quote which should give our national pride a
much needed boost. About just how accurate is it in reflecting reality? What exactly did billion-plus India
really do to help Anju accomplish her feat? And the answer to that is : precious little. Her greatest strengths
were her husband Bobby George who sacrificed his own promising sports career to help coach his wife
and a few other family members and well-wishers. But no Indian sports organization came forward to
help Anju during her arduous career. Anju is not alone in being at the receiving end of such benign neglect.
Time and again, individuals have triumphed in the sporting arena not thanks to but despite the fact that they
were born Indians. Had they received the kind of training which they would have got in any other country
without having to ask for it, Milkha Singh and P. T. Usha would certainly have been the world beaters that
they deserved to be.
Like all other fields of endeavour, our sports are riddled with politics at the expense of performance. While
nepotism rules the roost, genuine talent is left to fend for itself. As athletes like Shiny Abraham and
Malleswari, among numerous others, have had to do. Even when our sports people do emerge triumphant
against all odds, the state is often niggardly in its appreciation. The belated and grudgingly given Arjuna
awards to sports achievers is but one case in point. Very sensibly, Anju has said that she is not interested
in empty awards but in retaining and improving upon her cutting-edge performance which won her the
bronze. Her next step is said to be the Athens Olympics and making the seven-metre long jump mark, by
bettering her personal-best record so far of 6.7 metres. We wish her all success, as we are sure do millions
of those who, till yesterday, had never heard of her. Her anonymity did not stifle Anjus spirit; one can only
hope that the onerous weight of having to carry the burden of one billion who, overnight, have pinned their
future hopes on her will not prove a hindrance to her further success. So by all means break out the
champagne on her behalf. But lets not allow Anjus success to go to our heads.
