　　Questions 37 to 40 are based on the following passage：

　　Security and commodity exchanges are trading posts where people meet who wish to buy or sell. The exchanges themselves do no trading;they merely provide a place where prospective buyers and sellers can meet and conduct their business.

　　Wall Street， although the best known， is not the only home of exchanges in the United States. There are cotton exchanges in New Orleans and Chicago; the Mercantile Exchange， which deals in many farm products， in Chicago; and grain exchanges in many of the large cities of the Midwest. home exchanges， like the Chicago Board of Trade， provide market services for several kinds of products. These tradingposts where products may be bought or sold are called commodity exchanges.

　　The security exchanges， on the other hand, are meeting places where stocks and bonds are traded. Like the commodity exchanges ， they help serve the economic life of t he country. But when their operations get out of hand， they may become very dangerous.In l929， the security exchanges，or stock market， contributed to a crash a sudden， sharp decline in the value of securities. Many people lost fortunes;many corporations were bankrupted; many workers lost their jobs. The Crash of l929 has been attributed to many causes， among them wild and unwise speculation by many people and dishonest practices on the part of some businessmen and of some members of the exchanges.

　　Today，however，investing through security exchanges and trading on commodity exchanges has been made safer by regulations set up by the exchanges themselves and by regulations of the United States government， In l922，the government instituted the Commodity Exchange Commission which operated through the Department of Agriculture; and in l934，the Securities and Exchanges Commission， to protect investors and the public against dishonest practices on the exchanges.

　　Section B

　　Directions：Read the following passage and then give short answers to the five questions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.

　　Hunting was origina11yameans of providing food， but it has now become a sport. Though in so-me parts of the world there are stil1 people who hunt wild animals to provide them selves with food， in England, hunting is as much a social activity as anything else.

　　A great many years ago， fishermen in Japan used birds to catch fish. This art of fishing is said to be at least a thousand years old and is mentioned in Japanese plays. Today， however， fishing in this way has simply become a sport，for the fisher men are not serious1y interested in catching fish.

　　On summer nights the fishing boats set out on rivers in various parts of the country， At the front of each boat there is an iron basket in which a wood fire is kept burning， As the graceful curved boats float past carried along by the current， these fires， dotted here and there， make bright patterns on the water. Steering down the river，the fishermen beat the sides of the boat to encourage the birds， and people out for an evening's entertainment either sit or lie on the floor of the boats drinking beer and sometimes even cooking a meal for themselves over the flames of the fire， This method of fishing demands great skill， for the fisherman has to handle three or four birds in one hand. A long piece of string is tied round the neck of each bird and the fisherman must take care to keep the birds separate from each other. Every so often， the birds are set free and they fly close to the water in search of fish. The moment a bird catches a fish in its beak it is pulled back on to the boat. The siring is held itght1y round the bird's throat to prevent it from swallowing the fish it has caught. When there do not seem to be many fish in the river， the fishermen can sometimes be seen secret1y throwing dead fish into the water for the birds to catch. No one really objects to this practice， as it is all part of this unusual sport.

　　41. What was the original purpose of hunting?

　　42. In which season of the year do the fishing boats set out?

　　43. What do the fishermen do to encourage the birds?

　　44. What is tied round the neck of each bird?

　　45.What does the fisherman do after the bird catches a fish?
