Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks from 61 to 70. Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they do. Refrigerators preserve their food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they rely on surgeon’s knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now, we have had a shortage of donors to give their hearts : to keep one person alive, another donor had to die. Nowadays there are more and more talks about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human heart, and human have always been over careful in respecting the life and well-being as other animals. This includes the life and well-being of other humans. Therefore in the early years of the 21 st century - I was told - the mass killing of monkeys may occur. We will need to use their heart for human consumption. Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo Sapiens, or man. They know fear, of course, and they face real danger, but they are more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary dangers for themselves, they run no business, chase no money, and unimpressed by gold - that utterly useless metal, they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits. I have a vague feeling that it is not monkey’s heart that we ought to implant in ourselves but monkey’s brains. 61.
