Most psychologists now assign phobias to one of three broad categories: social phobias, in which the sufferer feels paralysing fear at the prospect of social or professional encounters; panic disorders, in which the person is periodically blindsided by overwhelming fear for no apparent reason; and specific phobias -fear of snakes, enclosed spaces, heights and the like. Of the three, the specific phobias are the easiest to treat, partly because they are the easiest to understand.
Concerning the question of capital punishment, the U.S. and its allies stand on opposite sides of a great divide. All 15 members of the European Union have banned the death penalty, and the organisation actively promotes its abolition throughout the world. Brussels has made abolition a precondition to E.U. membership, as has the 41-member Council of Europe, thereby spurring most East and Central European aspirants to do away with capital punishment. Europe pressures the U.S. on this point.

William Makepeace Thackeray, one of the greatest of English novelists, was born at Calcutta, India, on July 18, 1811, where his father held an administrative position. He was sent to England at six for his education, which he received at the Charterhouse and Cambridge, after which he began, but did not prosecute, the study of law. Having lost his means, in part by gambling, he made up his mind to earn his living as an artist, and went to Paris to study. He had some natural gift for drawing, which he had already employed in caricature, but, though he made interesting and amusing illustrations for his books, he never acquired any marked technical skill.

Over the entire planet there must be a balance between evaporation and precipitation. There is, however, a net loss of water from the ocean because the evaporation over the ocean exceeds the precipitation falling on it. Over the land the reverse is true, with the precipitation exceeding the evaporation. The surplus of precipitation supplies the fresh water on and in the land, in other words the lakes, rivers and the glacial ice. The net loss of water from the ocean is balanced by the runoff from the land, chiefly by rivers. This is known as the hydrologic cycle. Obviously the annual evaporation and precipitation vary from place to place.

Wliile American colleges were being established in different parts of the world, boarding schools and schools for Native Americans were being set up in the U.S. The aim of these schools was to provide a good education to poor Native American children. The most famous school, the Carlisle School for Native Americans, established in 1879 in Pennsylvania, accepted Native American children from all over the country. The founder of the school Richard Henry Pratt, believed that the farther the school was from the students' reservation, the better. That was a good means of assimilation.
61- It's obvious from the passage that the U.S...

the 19th century

The conquest of large empires by a relatively few Spaniards proved to be surprisingly easy. Steel, the crossbow, and effective military tactics - a contrast to the ritualised warfare of many Indian groups - facilitated the European victories. Gun powder and the horse, both of which startled the Indians, were tremendous tactical advantages, at least, initially. Furthermore, the Spaniards found the Indians divided among themselves. In Mexico, the tribes subjugated by the Aztecs were only too happy to join with the Spaniards to defeat their Indian enemies. In the Incan empire, rivalry between two claimants to the crown had already split the empire.
64- It was not only their effective military tactics, the crossbow and steel that made Spaniards victorious but also ... A) Incan empire had been split because of
rivalry between two claimants
B) ritualised warfare of many Indian tribes C) the fact that Indians had been separated
for some reasons

E) because Indians had lost their power 65- We can understand from the passage
that Spaniards conquered those large empires...
A) thoroughly by force B) simply by mischief-making C) startling the Indians
D) merely by spreading terror among the Indian tribes
E) with relatively small number of people 66- From the passage it is obvious that steel,
the crossbow, and effective military tactics...
A) made it easy for the Europeans to triumph over the Indians
B) helped the Indians to subjugate their enemies
C) were so primitive that no tribe desired to use them
D) proved to be of no use
E) had never been so useless until some Indian tribes revolted against the Spaniards

-4-67-69, sorulari verilen paryaya gSre cevaplayini/.. It was long believed that human activities could have little effect upon the ocean environment. The first indication this was not true came from the decreased abundance of certain fish, marine mammals, and birds. The improved fishing techniques and greater fishing effort have reduced certain populations to critical levels and in some cases have led to their extinction. Various groups of conservationists have endeavoured to protect species under heavy pressure. In some cases these efforts have been successful, in many others they have been thwarted in their attempts to stop or reduce the slaughter. The principal difficulty is the reluctance of those harvesting the ocean to give up their traditional freedom to exploit the resources of the oceans. It's exceedingly difficult to police the vast areas of the ocean and prosecute the offenders.

the past

dramatically

with those harvesting the ocean 68- Most of the efforts made to protect some
