in
the

A Few years ago, a university professor tried a little experiment.
He
sent
Christmas
cards
to
a
sample
of
perfect
strangers.
Although
he
expected
some
reaction,
the
response
he
received
was
amazing
—
holiday
cards
addressed to him came pouring back from the people who had never met nor
heard
of
him.
The
great
majority
of
those
who
returned
a
card
never
inquired
into
the
identity
of
the
unknown
professor.
They
received
his
holiday
greeting card, and they automatically sent one in return. This study shows
the action of one of the most powerful of the weapons of influence around
us
—
the rule for reciprocation. The rule says that we should try to repay,
in kind, what another person has provided us. If a woman does us a favor,
we should do her one in return; if a man sends us a birthday present, we
should remember his birthday with a gift of our own; if a couple invites
us to a party, we should be sure to invite them to one of ours. By virtue
of the reciprocity rule, then, we are obligated to the future repayment of
favors,
gifts,
invitations,
and
the
like.
So
typical
is
it
for
indebtedness
to accompany the receipt of such things that a term like “much obliged”

.
has become a synonym for “thank you,” not only in the English language
but in others as well.
The impressive aspect of the rule for reciprocation and the sense of
obligation that goes with it is its pervasiveness in human culture. It is
so
widespread
that
after
intensive
study,
sociologists
such
as
Alvin
Goldener can report that there is no human society that does not subscribe
to the rule.

multiple

and
D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER
SHEET TWO.

PASSAGE ONE

（
1
）
The earliest settlers came to the North American continent to establish
colonies that were free from the controls that existed in European societies. They
wanted to escape the controls
placed on
their lives by
kings and governments,
priests
and churches, noblemen and aristocrats. The historic decisions made by those first
settlers
have
had
a
profound
effect
on
the
shaping
of
the
American
character.
By
limiting
the
power
of
the
government
and
the
churches
and
eliminating
a
formal
aristocracy,
they
created a climate of freedom where the emphasis was on the individual. Individual
freedom is probably the most basic of all the American values. By freedom, Americans
mean
the
desire
and
the
ability
of
all
individuals
to
control
their
own
destiny
without
outside
interference
from
the
government,
a
ruling
noble
class,
the
church,
or
any
other
organized authority.
(2)
There
is,
however,
a
price
to
be
paid
for
this
individual
freedom:
self-reliance. It means that Americans believe they should stand on their own feet,
achieving both financial and emotional independence from their parents as early as
possible, usually by age 18 or 21.
