Passage One
Directions
In this section, there is passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for
each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the
passage through carefully before making your choices. You may not use any of the words in
the bank more than once.
Children do not think the way adults do. For most of the first year of life, if something is
out of sight, it is out of mind. If you cover a baby's _1_ toy with a piece of cloth, the
baby thinks the toy has disappeared and stops looking for it. A four-year-old may _2_
that a sister has more fruit juice when it is only the shapes of the glasses that differ, not the
_3_ of juice.
Yet children are smart in their own way. Like good little scientists, children are always testing
their child-sized _4_ about how things work. When your child throws her spoon on the
floor for the sixth time as you try to feed her, and you say,“That's enough! I will not pick
up your spoon again!”the child will _5_ test your claim. Are you serious? Are you
angry? What will happen if she throws the spoon again? She is not doing this to drive you
_6_; rather, she is learning that her desires and yours can differ, and that sometimes those
_7_ are important and sometimes they are not.
How and why does children's thinking change? In the 1920s, Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget
proposed that children's cognitive abilities unfold _8_, like the blooming of a flower,
almost independent of what else is _9_ in their lives. Although many of his specific
conclusions have been _10_ or modified over the years, his ideas inspired thousands of
studies by investigators all over the world.
