Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33:
Most Americans have at least some daily interaction with people who do not share their race or
ethnicity, but relatively small shares say they have a lot of interaction. This is particularly the case
for whites interacting with racial or ethnic minorities and nonwhites interacting with minority
groups other than their own.
About a quarter of white adults say they interact with blacks and Hispanics a lot in their day-
to-day life. Among blacks, 26% say they have a lot of interaction with people who are Hispanic,
while one-in-five Hispanics say they have frequent interaction with people who are black. About
one in-ten whites, blacks and Hispanics say they interact with Asians a lot in their daily life.
A majority of Asians say they have frequent daily interaction with whites, more than the share
of blacks and Hispanics who say the same. About one-in-four Asians say they have a lot of
interaction with people who are Hispanic and 15% say the same about people who are black.
Asians are less likely than whites, blacks and Hispanics to say they have a lot of interaction
with people in their own group. The extent to which Americans interact with various racial or ethnic
groups reflects, at least in part, the shares of each group in the population.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the question from 36 to 40:
In many experience, freshmen today are different from those I knew when I started as a
counselor and professor 2 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and
socially. But students now are less mature and often not ready for the reponsibility of being in
college.
It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life’s obstacle.
Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children writing
admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their children’s lack of
coping strategies. But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today.
How many people do you know who are on medication to prevent anxiety or depression? The
number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased
dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a society, don’t want to “feel” anything unpleasant and we
certainly don’t want our children to “suffer”.
The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the
necessary skills to tolerate and negotiate adversity. As a psychologist, I am well aware of the fact
that some individuals suffer from depression and anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I
question the growing number of medicated adolescents today.
Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities,
but I don’t believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than that of the past 10
years. What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults” with all the
responsibilities of life.
What does this mean for college faculty and staff? We are required to assist in the basic
parenting of these students – the student who complains that the professor didn’t remind her of the
due date for an assignment that was clearly listed on the syllabus and the student who cheats on an
assignment in spite of careful instructions about plagiarism.
As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent college student
before we can even begin to teach. As parents and teachers we should expect young people to meet
challenges. To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick
themselves up and move forward. This approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can
actually be a passage to independent adulthood.
