Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that

is included in one’s possessions Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with

intangible forms of property Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for

example books magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs,

music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property

Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the ownership of the creator When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as

a tangible object However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went into creating the articles The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs

to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to

be paid

Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property Music may be played by

anyone after it is published However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee called

a royalty A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays On the other hand, names, ideas

and book titles are excepted Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book

a painting or a musical work Almost all artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed

The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy Plagiarizing the

work of another person means passing it off as one’s own The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin plaglarus, which means “abductor” Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint

effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties

to the creator Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape a computer program, or a book Video cassette recorders can be used by practically

anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software has become almost as easy as

copying a book Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark

Question 26: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Legal rights of property owners B Legal ownership of creative work

C Examples of copyright piracy D Copying creating work for profit

A two songs, written by two different composers, have the same melody

B two books, written by two different authors, have the same titles

C two drawings, created by two different artists, have the same images

D two plays, created by two different playwrights, have the same plot and characters

A Teachers are not allowed to make copies of published materials for use by their students

B Plays written in the 16th century cannot be performed in theaters without permission

C Singers can publicly sing only the songs for which they wrote the music and the lyrics

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly

cherished goal Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group

organization and attitudes

In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse The group contains nearly all of each individual’s life The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member There is an

interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed Means and goals become one, for

cooperation itself is valued

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation

is characteristic of many modem societies In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group Cooperation itself is not a value Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration Members perform tasks so that they can separately

enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary prestige, or power Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation

In the third type called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and

fragile Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when the

common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals This is not, strictly speaking cooperation at

all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this

relationship

Question 34: What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of to passage?

A To urge readers to cooperate more often

B To offer a brief definition of cooperation

C To explain how cooperation differs from competition and conflict

D To show the importance of group organization and attitudes

A.It is usually the first stage of cooperation achieved by a group of individuals attempting to cooperate

B. It is most commonly seen among people who have not yet developed reading and writing skills

C.It is an ideal that can never be achieved

D It was confined to prehistoric times

Question 37: According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary cooperation?

A.To experience the satisfaction of cooperation

B. To associate with people who have similar backgrounds

C.To get rewards for themselves

D To defeat a common enemy

Question 38: Which of the following is an example of the third form of cooperation as it is defined in the fourth paragraph?

A.Students form a study group so that all of them can improve their grades

B. Members of a farming community share work and the food that they grow

D A new business attempts to take customers away from an established company

being stared at In a total of more than 18, 000 trials (42) _ worldwide, the children correctly sensed when they were being watched almost 70% of the time The experiment was repeated with the added precaution of putting the children who were being watched outside the room, (43) from the starters by the windows This was done just in case there was some pretending

going on with the children telling each other whether they were looking or not This (44) _
