Questions 1~5 Some children do not like school. So what else is new? But in Japan that familiar aversion has reached alarming proportions. About 50,000 unhappy youngsters a year (out of a total school-age population of 20 million) suffer what Japanese behavioral experts call school phobia. School phobia is distinguished from other common childhood and adolescent psychological and emotional disorders by the patient’s reaction to, and fear of, the idea of going to school. Typically, it begins with fever, sweating, headaches, and diarrhoea; it often progresses to complete physical inertia, depression, and even autism. A doctor on a house call found a thirteen-year-old Tokyo boy who had not been to school in more than a year. He lives in a darkened room, receiving his food through a slot under the door and lashing out violently at his parents if they came too close. Once the boy was placed in a psychiatric ward treatment, he again became an open, seemingly healthy youngster. When he was sent home, however, his symptoms returned, and he was never able to go back to school. School phobia can be cured, usually with tranquilizers and psychotherapy. Rehabilitation takes about two years. Yet victims who are put in clinics or mental wards often prefer to stay there. Their day is filled with activities like knitting, painting, music, free time, and sports. Nurses try to create a familiar environment in which the children can feel that they are taking a certain amount of responsibility for their lives and can find some sense of self-worth. The causes of school phobia are not precisely known. In a few severe cases brain disorders have been diagnosed. A more common factor may be the overprotective Japanese mother who, some psychiatrists say, leaves her children ill-prepared to face the real world. Many researchers point to the unrelenting pressures for success faced by both children and adults in Japan, where stress-related disorders of all sorts are common. In addition, the Japanese educational system is one of the world’s most rigid, suppressing a child’s individual creative and analytical development. Says Dr. Hitoshi Ishikawa, head of the department of psychosomatic medicine at Tokyo University, “The problem won’t be cured until Japanese society as a whole is cured of its deep-rooted social ills.” 1. (A) it is something new in Japan. (B) Most children have developed the disease (C) Its symptoms are not easily perceptible (D) An alarming proportion of Japanese children suffer from it 2.

(B) continuous (D) unpleasant Questions 6~10 I left hospital in a taxi on the tenth day with Octavia in my arms and Lydia by my side. I was excited at the thought of getting home and having my baby to myself, but the cold of the outside air must have startled her, for she began to scream and screech violently in the taxi, and when we got home I did not quite know what to do. In hospital she had always been so quiet and sweet. I laid her down in her basket, but the mattress was a different shape from the hospital cot, and she looked strange and uncomfortable and screamed all the more fiercely. She looked odd, too, in her own Viyella nighties, after the regulation garments she had worn all her life until that afternoon. She went on and on crying, and I began to think that she would never adapt to real life. Lydia was getting almost as worried as I was, and after a while she said, as we both sate miserably and watched this small furious person, “Why don’t you feed her? That would shut her up, wouldn’t it?” I looked at my watch; it was half past four. “It’s not time to feed her yet,” I said. “In hospital, we had to feed them on the dot at five.” “Oh,” said Lydia, “half an hour one way or the other can’t make much difference.” “Don’t you think so?” I said. “But then she’ll wake half an hour early at the next feed, and the next, and the next, and then what will I do?” “It wouldn’t matter, would it?” “I don’t know. I somehow feel thins would get all muddled and never get straight again. She was good and reasonable in hospital. And then she’ll get confused, and how will she ever know when it’s night time? How will she ever learn that it’s night?”
Octavia looked odd to her mother because_______. Why did Lydia suggest feeding the baby? “I should feed her,” said Lydia. “It looks to me as though she’s going to have a fit.” I didn’t think she would have a fit, but I couldn’t stand the sound of her crying, so I picked her out and fed her, and she became quiet at once, and fell asleep afterwards looking as though her mattress and nightdress were very comfortable after all. On the other hand, she did wake half an hour early at the next feed, and went on and on waking earlier, until we worked right back round the clock, for the truth was that she never went four hours but only three and a half. Looking back on it, it doesn’t seem to matter at all, but it seemed very important at the time. I remember. It took her ages, moreover, to learn about night and day, and in the end I concluded that they and been giving her secret bottles in the night at the hospital. However, on the whole, things worked out very well. I had a subsidized home help to begin with, and after a fortnight or so this woman whom Lydia had discovered, an amiable fat lady named Mrs Jennings, came in two days a week while dashed off to the library between feeds. Mrs Jennings adored babies, and I found that all her chat little darling tiny things, and where’s here little tootsie, fell quite naturally and indeed gratefully upon my ears. 6. (A) the Viyella nighties were newly bought (B) her nightie was the wrong size (C) her clothes weren’t her usual ones (D) the mattress was bigger than the one in the cot 7. (A) She found it was almost feeding time. (B) She obviously didn’t like the noise. (C) She could see Octavia was hungry. (D) She believed it was better to feed her more. 8.

(A) they had told her all the truth (B) they had confused the baby (C) the baby had been underfed at night (D) there were things she hadn’t been told 10. We learn from the passage that Mrs. Jennings_______. (A) first came in on a fortnight’s trial (B) helped the author with the baby (C) was found by Lydia in the library (D) was not qualified for baby-sitting The mother didn’t want to feed the crying baby because the thought_______.
