_____________________
CR 1

A number of college students were recruited by the psychology department to participate in a paid, unspecified experiment, which turned out to be a menial, monotonous counting exercise. Unbeknownst to the students, half of the participants were paid a meager rate for their participation, while half received a generous rate. After the counting exercise was complete, each student was asked questions on his or her perception of the counting exercise. Surprisingly, the participants who had been paid less reported higher levels of enjoyment in completing the exercise than the higher-paid participants did.

Which of the following hypotheses, if true, best accounts for the findings of the experiment?

A. In both groups, the portion of the brain activated by counting was disrupted by the exercise and distorted perceptions of financial quantities.

B. Those who counted faster in the experiment experienced more satisfaction than those who counted more slowly.

C. The participants who were paid less had more motivation, conscious or unconscious, to justify their participation in the menial exercise.

D. The energy expenditure of counting in the human mind was associated with the cognitive load of worrying about a quantity of money.

E. Counting is most capably performed by accountants, whose level of satisfaction is highest while they are at work.

CR 2

Wappo, a company that manufactures turbine blades for hydroelectric dams, has designed a new model of blade with a superior hydrodynamic form that will save energy and hence cost in implementation. Wappo is willing to sell these blades to a particular hydroelectric dam at no initial cost. The only payment will be the difference between, first, a percentage of the dam’s improved profits, as measured by the percentage improvement of the hydroelectric dam efficiency times the value of energy sold by the plant over an 18-month period, and, second, the additional cost of installation and maintenance of the new turbines. On installation, the dam will make an estimated payment, which will be adjusted after eighteen months to equal the proper amount.

Which of the following, if it occurred, would constitute a disadvantage for Wappo of the plan described above?

A. Another manufacturer’s introduction to the market of a similarly efficient turbine blade

B. The dam’s need for a large number of turbine blades

C. Energy efficiency of the dam’s current turbines somewhat below the industry average

D. Levels of demand for hydroelectric power that were stagnant but above predicted levels

E. Uncharacteristic weather conditions decreasing the amount of energy that can be harvested through hydroelectric means at the dam’s location

CR 1

­Through Topeka airport, consumer travel by plane is just voluminous enough for the commercial airlines to make modest profits. The size of the city's population is stable and is not expected to increase much. Yet there are investors ready to double the number of flights to and from the airport within ten years, and they are predicting solid profits both for themselves and for the established airlines.

Which of the following about the city of Topeka, if true, most helps to provide a justification for the investors' prediction?

A. Over the next ten years, people in their middle-aged years, the prime traveling age, will be a rapidly growing proportion of the city's population.

B. As distinct from the existing flights, most of the flights being planned would be run at "very early" morning times, in hopes of stimulating interest in those schedules.

C. Spending on train and bus travel to and from Topeka has been increasing modestly each year for the past ten years.

D. The average number of seats per flight is lower among existing routes than it is among routes still in the planning stages.

E. The sale of snacks and drinks in-flight accounts for a steadily growing share of most airlines' profits.
______________________
CR 2

­A prestigious private high school has made available to local families a tuition prepayment plan to ease the burden of paying the school’s hefty tuition when a student matriculates. The plan allows parents of children under three years old to reserve a spot for their child at the school by making a payment of one-fourth of the current annual tuition for the high school. The parents then make an identical payment every year for the next 15 years, and the student’s full four-year tuition is considered paid in full, regardless of how much the regular tuition payments have risen in the intervening years.

Under which of the following circumstances would taking part in the prepayment plan NOT be advisable for parents?

A. If the tuition at the school has risen an average of 4 percent per year for the last twenty years

B. If the child in question is particularly talented at math, but the high school is more known for its advanced humanities programs than its math program

C. If the parents of the child in question are uncertain that they will reside in the state for more than 10 years

D. If the school has an arrangement with the local university whereby students can take courses at the university if they have surpassed the level of courses offered at the high school

E. If the school offers athletic scholarships to a small number of talented athletes

CR 1

­If you want to see flowers of Tragopogen pratensis in bloom, you will need to look for them before lunch because it lives up to one of its common names Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon. Whatever the weather, flowers of this common member of the dandelion family close by midday. It's one of a number of species whose floral movements can be used as a primitive clock. Scarlet pimpernel opens and closes depending on temperature and humidity change, but finally closes for the day at about 3 pm, rain or shine. The gardening writer JC Londou in 1872, planned floral clocks constructed from species with this kind of behaviour, claiming floral opening and closing times to an accuracy of minutes. Though they have fairly predictable opening and closing times, their time keeping ability would have been constantly disrupted by variable weather. And so it is not surprising _______.

A. that Londou's clock was popular in the 19th century

B. that Londou's clock can be seen only in horticulture gardens

C. that Londou's erratic botonical time piece never caught on

D. that Londou's clocks are among the most accurate of primitive clocks

E. that Londou is highly respected by botanists

_________________________
CR 2

It is the same old tired argument trotted out once again. The U.K. government's advice on childhood language development has announced that the linguistic growth of the current generation of teenagers is being stunted, limiting them to a vocabulary of 800 words a day, when a 1000 words per day is suppose to be the minimum for adequate communication. As a result, she says, they could be making themselves unemployable. The culprit? Texting and internet chat rooms, of course. This kind of conservative stand has accompanied every evolution in communication.

With which of the following is the author of the above least likely to agree?

A. The only constant about language is that it changes.

B. The invention of the printing press was decried as perversion of religion and language itself at that time.

C. Even if one were to assume that the cognitive skills of teenagers have deteriorated in recent times, the causes could well be elsewhere than the adoption of new technology.

D. A changing vocabulary is not the equivalent of a limited ability to express oneself.

E. Sure, language evolves, but what is happening is not an evolution of language but degrading it
