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 39 - 43.

Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of alcohol and wanted to produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca," made from the coca leaf. Then he began to experiment with the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would look well in advertising," he named it Coca–Cola.

Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over the country as "The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there was a large and popular temperance movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was outlawed, and sales of Coke rose significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was repeated.

Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented it, Pemberton had sold Coca–Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold the Coca–Cola Company in1919, it was worth $25 million.

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 44 - 50.

Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty Seconds. When this short amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short-term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter that only allows stimuli that are of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory.

There is much debate about the capacity and duration of short-term memory. The most accepted theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modem theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short-term memory and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long-term storage.

When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again. one is able to keep a memory alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy. people often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from short-term to long-term memory. A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal". This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre- existing long-term memories.

Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long-term memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple-choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.

Question 44. According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?

A. They revert from the long-term memory.

B. They enter via the nervous system.

C. They are filtered from the sensory storage area.

D. They get chunked when they enter the brain.

Question 45. All of the following are mentioned as places in which memories are stored EXCEPT the:

A. maintenance area

B. long term memory

C. SIM

D. sensory storage area

Question 46. Why does the author mention a dog's bark?

A. To provide a type of interruption

B. To give an example of a type of memory

C. To prove that dogs have better memories than humans

D. To compare another sound that is loud like a doorbell

Question 47. How do theorists believe a person can remember more information in a short time?

A. By rереаtіng іt

B. By organizing it

C. By drawing it

D. By giving it a name

Question 48. The word elaborate in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to:

A. efficient

B. pretty

C. regular

D. complex

Question 49. The word it in the last paragraph refers to:

A. semantics

B. encoding

C. STM

D. information

Question 50. Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?

A. The working memory is the same as the short-term memory.

B. Multiple choice exams are the most difficult.

C. Cues help people to recognize information.

D. A memory is kept alive through constant repetition.
