Questions 56-60 are based on the following
passage. Since we are social beings, the quality of our
lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength
of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one
another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange
of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with
strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and
daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health
than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illness, from depression
to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend
off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more
likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.
First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us.
Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our
faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with
informational support. They help up to define and understand our problems and
find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship
supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our
social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and
troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support--financial aid,
material resources, and needed services--that reduces stress by helping us
resolve and cope with our problems.

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following
passage.
Management in Cyberspace Virtual
reality is often used to mimic hazardous environments--cockpits of combat
aircraft, burning oil rigs, the treasure-strewn caves of irritable dragons and
so on. Until now, though, it has rarely been deployed to simulate that most
hazardous environment of all--the office. But if Sandra Testani of the Franklin
Institute in Philadelphia has her way, it will soon be possible to hone the
black arts of office politics and corporate survival on a computer before you
employ them against your colleagues in the real world. Or, from the boss's point
of view, you will be able to practise your skills at "co-operating" in virtual
"team-building" exercises. Dr. Testani's virtual world is called
CIMBLE. The acronym stands for CADETF which in turn stands for Consortium for
Advanced Education and Training Technologies Interactive Multi-user Business
Learning Enviromnent. The idea behind CIMBLE is to let people who are unable or
unwilling to meet face to face practise collaborating with each other over a
computer network. To do this, CIMBLE's software creates a
virtual world for up to six participants. Each acts via an electronic
representative known as an avatar. A participant sees the world (including the
other players' avatars, which appear on screen as cartoon-like images of men and
women) from his own avatar's point of view. Any other characters that the
avatars might interact with are played by a moderator, who also acts as Big
Brother, overseeing and monitoring the activities of the group and steering
things in a suitable direction. The CIMBLE software allows the
avatars to walk around and manipulate objects in the virtual world (opening
doors, for example) at the click of a mouse. It also lets avatars (and" hence
the participants) talk to one another. Most conversations are assumed to
be in the open, and can be heard by everybody. But true office
Machiavellis will be pleased to learn that private chats are also possible,
since the software can work out who is within earshot of whom, and will transmit
sound only to those who should be able to hear it. So far, Dr.
Testani and her colleagues have devised two exercises in their new
electronic world. One simply brings the participants together around a
virtual conference table and lets them chew over an agenda provided by the
moderator. The second, however, is more sophisticated. The participants are
deemed to be working for a civil-engineering firm, and are sent off to the
proposed site of a new bridge to settle a dispute with local residents and
officials. After a long ear ride and a night in a hotel ( all depicted in loving
detail by CIMBLE's software) , they meet the irate local and try to mollify
them. A successful outcome, allowing the bridge to go ahead, is greeted by an
onscreen display of virtual fireworks. Summary
