information for students. My research suggests, however,

that textbooks that address the place of Native Americans

within he history of the United States distort history to suit

(5) a particular cultural value system. In some textbooks, for

example, settlers are pictured as more humane, complex,

skillful, and wise than Native American. In essence,

textbooks stereotype and deprecate the numerous Native

American cultures while reinforcing the attitude that the

(10) European conquest of the New World denotes the superi-

ority of European cultures. Although textbooks evaluete

Native American architecture, political systems, and home-

making. I contend that they do it from an ethnocentric,

(15) European perspective without recognizing that other per-

spectives are possible.

One argument against my contention asserts that, by

nature, textbooks are culturally biased and that I am simply

underestimating children’s ability to see through these

(20) biases. Some researchers even claim that by the time

students are in high school, they know they cannot take

textbooks literally. Yet substantial evidence exists to the

contrary. Two researchers, for example, have conducted

studies that suggest that children’s attitudes about particular

(25) culture are strongly influenced by the textbooks used in

schools. Given this, an ongoing, careful review of how

school textbooks depict Native American is certainly

warranted.

Which of the following would most logically be the topic of the paragraph immediately following the passage?

A．Specific ways to evaluate the biases of United States history textbooks

B．The centrality of the teacher’s role in United States history courses

C．Nontraditional methods of teaching United States history

D．The contributions of European immigrants to the development of the United States

E．Ways in which parents influence children’s political attitudes

•Read the information about the communication of information in business.

•Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C.

•For each question (29-40) mark one letter A, B or C on your Answer Sheet.

A number of business people still believe that information is power and constantly question how (29) people need to know. As a result, they tell employees (30) as much as they think is essential (31) them to do particular jobs. Furthermore, (32) business people have been taught (33) to communicate effectively and (34) they communicate very badly at all levels.

Recent research shows that (35) most serious problems experienced by modern business are communication (36) Research has also shown that there is a clear link (37) good communication in a business and the motivation of the employees.

Newsletters and notices are not (38) It is the attitude and behavior. of business managers which (39) all the difference. Unfortunately, at present, a lot of employees do not believe all the information they receive from their managers (40) they feel that the managers themselves are out of touch with their staff.
