______ so they could not see, and with their backs to other children, who were told to either
stare at them or look away. Time and time again the results showed that the children who
could not see were able to (63) ______ when they were being stared at. In a (64) ______ of
more than 18,000 trials carried out worldwide, the children (65) ______ sensed when they

separated from the starers by the windows. This was done just in case there was some (67)

III. Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. Write the answers
on your answer sheet.
Aggressive behavior is any behavior that is intended to cause injury, pain, suffering,
damage, or destruction. While aggressive behavior is often thought of as purely physical,
verbal attacks such as screaming and shouting or belittling and humiliating comments
aimed at causing harm and suffering can also be a type of aggression. What is key to the
definition of aggression is that whenever harm is inflicted, be it physical or verbal, it is
intentional.
Questions about the causes of aggression have long been of concern to both social
and biological scientists. Theories about the causes of aggression cover a broad spectrum,
ranging from those with biological or instinctive emphases to those that portray aggression
as a learned behavior.
Numerous theories are based on the idea that aggression is an inherent and natural
human instinct. Aggression has been explained as an instinct that is directed externally
toward others in a process called displacement, and it has been noted that aggressive
impulses that are not channeled toward a specific person or group may be expressed
indirectly through socially acceptable activities such as sports and competition in a process
called catharsis. Biological, or instinctive, theories of aggression have also been put forth by
ethologists, who study the behavior of animals in their natural environments. A number of
ethologists have, based upon their observations of animals, supported the view that
aggression is an innate instinct common to humans.
Two different schools of thought exist among those who view aggression as instinct.
One group holds the view that aggression can build up spontaneously, with or without
outside provocation, and violent behavior will thus result, perhaps as a result of little or no
provocation. Another suggests that aggression is indeed an instinctive response but that,
rather than occurring spontaneously and without provocation, it is a direct response to
provocation from an outside source.
In contrast to instinct theories, social learning theories view aggression as a learned
behavior. This approach focuses on the effect that role models and reinforcement of
behavior have on the acquisition of aggressive behavior. Research has shown that
aggressive behavior can be learned through a combination of modeling and positive
reinforcement of the aggressive behavior and that children are influenced by the combined
forces of observing aggressive behavior in parents, peers, or fictional role models and of
noting either positive reinforcement for the aggressive behavior or, minimally, a lack of
negative reinforcement for the behavior. While research has provided evidence that the
behavior of a live model is more influential than that of a fictional model, fictional models
of aggressive behavior such as those seen in movies and on television, do still have an
impact on behavior. On-screen deaths or acts of violent behavior in certain television
programs or movies can be counted in the tens, or hundreds, or even thousands; while some
have argued that this sort of fictional violence does not in and of itself cause violence and
may even have a beneficial cathartic effect, studies have shown correlations between
viewing of violence and incidences of aggressive behavior in both childhood and
adolescence. Studies have also shown that it is not just the modeling of aggressive behavior
in either its real-life or fictional form that correlates with increased acts of violence in
youths; a critical factor in increasing aggressive behaviors is the reinforcement of the
behavior. If the aggressive role model is rewarded rather than punished for violent behavior,
that behavior is more likely to be seen as positive and is thus more likely to be imitated.
71. Which of the following is NOT defined as aggressive behavior?
A. Inflicting pain accidentally B. Making insulting remarks
C. Destroying property D. Trying unsuccessfully to injure someone
72. The author mentions belittling and humiliating comments in paragraph 1 in order to
_________.
A. demonstrate how serious the problem of aggression is
B. clarify the difference between intentional and unintentional aggression
C. provide examples of verbal aggression
D. illustrate the nature of physical aggression
73. According to paragraph 3, displacement is _________.
A. internally directed aggression B. a modeled type of aggression
C. aggression that is unintentional D. aggression that is directed outward
74. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that catharsis _________.
A. is a positive process B. involves channeling aggression internally
C. is studied by ethologists D. should be negatively reinforced
75. An ethologist would be most likely to study _________.
A. learned catharsis in a certain species of monkey
B. the evolution of a certain type of fish
C. the bone structure of a certain type of dinosaur
D. the manner in which a certain male lion fights other male lions
76. The phrase “schools of thought” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. institutions of higher learning B. lessons to improve behavior
C. methods of instruction D. sets of shared beliefs
77. It is NOT mentioned in paragraph 4 that some believe that instinctive aggression may
occur _________.
A. without being provoked B. in order to cause provocation
C. in response to minor provocation D. in response to strong provocation
