C. a law that makes such stamping mandate. D. an implement.
Questions 69-75 are based on the following passage.
Mr. Faugel was convinced that student nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the test. Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group. Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright. Now they are used for test anxiety. These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.
69. Where is the only place a person can obtain beta blockers? A. Supermarket B. Convenience store C. Stationary store D. Doctor's office
70. Why are beta blockers not prescribed regularly?

A. giving the test again to people without administering beta blockers.
B. giving the test again to both groups after beta blockers have been administered to one group. C. giving the test to both groups of test-takers and then giving them beta blockers. D. giving the beta blockers without retesting.
73. What possible use for beta blockers was NOT discussed in this passage? A. Test anxiety B. Pain relief C. Minor stress D. Heart conditions

Questions 76-80 are based on the following passage.
During the past three years, the staff members of the Smithsonian Institution's Family Folklore Project have interviewed hundreds of persons about their family folklore. To prepare for these interviews we drew upon our academic backgrounds in folklore and American studies, and upon our personal backgrounds as members of families. In addition, we reviewed the major instruction guides in genealogy, oral history, family history, and folklore fieldwork. Although these publications were all helpful in some way, no single book was completely adequate since family folklore combines aspects of all the above disciplines. Over time we have developed guidelines and questions that have proven successful for us; we hope that the following suggestions will be helpful to anyone who wishes to collect the folklore of his or her own family.
76. What would be the topic of the paragraph that would follow this one? A. How to gather family folklore B. History of the Smithsonian Institution

C. A description of genealogy D. Useful books on family folklore
77. What can be inferred about the researchers who conducted the interviews? A. They were mathematicians and physicists. B. They were historians and sociologists. C. They had children. D. They wrote books.
78. The purpose of this passage is to A. motivate B. berate C. instruct D. cajole
79. The assumption of this passage is that
A. anyone can successfully interview people about their family folklore without prior training. B. American history is inherent in the family folklore of Americans. C. American history and folklore of Americans have no connections. D. no guidelines are needed in the interviews.
80. According to the passage, which kind of instructional guide was NOT consulted as a source? A. Clinical sociology B. Genealogy guides

Questions 81-86 are based on the following passage.
Every summer, Jean Piaget retreats to his cabin in the Alps, where he spends most of his days analyzing the mass of research data generated over the past year at his Center for Genetic Epistemology. During long walks along the mountain trails, he mulls over the latest experimental results, and in the cool mountain evenings, he formulates his conclusions. With the approach of fall, he will descend from the mountain, manuscript for a book and several journal articles in hand. This time-honored procedure of careful observation followed by seclusion for thought and synthesis, has enabled him to become the most prolific, if not the most famous psychologist of the century.
Piaget has only been widely known in this country since the 1960s, when his works were translated from their original French. But he has been recognized as an expert in the field of cognitive development in Europe since the 1930s. In fact, Piaget's publishing career can be traced to the year 1906, when as a child of ten, he published his careful notes on the habits of an albino sparrow he observed near his home in Switzerland. After his precocious debut as an ornithologist, he took an after-school job at the local natural history museum, soon becoming an expert on mollusks. At the age of sixteen he was recommended for a curator's position at the natural history museum in Geneva, but declined in favor of continuing his education.
He studied natural science at the University of Neuchatel, obtaining his doctorate at the age of twenty-one. His readings in philosophy stimulated an intense interest in epistemology - the study of humans acquire knowledge. Convinced that cognitive development had a genetic basis, Piaget decided that the best way to approach epistemology would be through its behavioral and biological components. Psychology appeared to be the discipline that best incorporated this approach.
81. According to the passage, Piaget went to the mountains every summer to
