passage.
This passage is rom Lydia Minatoya, The Strangeness of
Beauty. ©1999 by Lydia Minatoya, The seting Japan in
1920. Chie and her daughter Naomi are members of the
House of Fuji,a noble family
Akira came directly, breaking all tradition. Was
that it? Had he followed form—had he asked his
mother to speak to his father to approach a
tine go-between—would Chie have been more receptive?
5 He cameona winter's eve. He pounded on the
door while a cold rain beat on the shuttered veranda,
so at first Chie thought him only the wind. The maid
knew better. Chie heard her soft scutling footsteps,
the creak of the door. Then the maid brought a
ro calling card to the drawing room, for Chie.
Chie was reluctant to go to her guests pethaps she
‘was feeling too cozy. She and Naomi were reading at
alow table set atop a charcoal brazier. A thick guilt
spread over the sides ofthe table so their legs were
15 tucked inside with the heat.
‘Who is tat this hour, in this weather?” Chie
questioned as she picked the name card off the
maid's lacquer tray.
‘Shinoda, Akira, Kobe Dental College,” she read,
20 Naomi recognized the name. Chie heard a soft
intake of air
“I think you should go,” said Naomi

Akira was waiting in the entry. He was in his early
twenties, slim and serious, wearing the black
25 miltary-style uniform of a student. Ashe
owed—his hands hanging straight down, a
black cap in one, a yellow oil-paper umbrella in the
‘other—Chie glanced beyond him. In the glistening
surface of the courtyard’s rain-drenched paving
stones, she saw his reflection like a dark double.
“Madame,” said Akira “forgive my disruption,
but I come with a matter of urgency.”
His voice was soft, refined. [e straightened and
stole a deferential peek at her face
In the dim light his eyes shone with sincerity.

ofa position. P'vean opportunity to go to America, as
dentist for Seattle's Fapanese community.”
‘Congratulations,” Chie said with amusement
“Thats an opportunity, 'm sure. But how am 1
involved?”
Eyen noting Naomi’ breathless reaction to the
fhame card, Chie had no idea. Akira’s message,
delivered like a formal speech, filed her with
maternal amusement. You know how children speak
4o so earnestly, so hurriedly, so endearingly about
things that have no importance in an adult’s mind?
That’s how she viewed him, asa child.

It was how she viewed Naomi. Even though
Naomi was eighteen and training endlessly in thé arts

effort to find her a husband,
‘Akira blushed.
“Depending on your response, may stay in
Japan. P've come to ask for Naomi hand.”

Questions 11-21 are based on the following
passage and supplementary material.
This passage is adapted from Francis. Flynnand Gabriele
S.Adams,"Money Can't Buy Love: Asymmetric Beliefs about
Gift Price and Feelings of Appreciation.” 62008 by Elsevier
Inc.
Every day, millions of shoppers it the stores in
full force—both onlineand on foot—searching
frantically for the perfect gift. Last year, Americans
Line spent over $30 billion at retail stores in the month of
5 December alone. Aside from purchasing holiday
gilts, most people regularly buy presents for other
‘occasions throughout the year, including weddings,
birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and baby
showers. This frequent experience of gift-giving can,
10 engender ambivalent feelings in gift-givers. Many
relish the opportunity to buy presents because
ai- giving offers a powerful means ta build stronger
bonds with one’s closest peers. Atthe same time,
many dread the thought of buying gifs they worry
15 that their purchases will disappoint rather than
delight the intended rec
Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive

20 aless favorable view. According to Waldfogel (1993),
Lif- giving represents an objective waste of resources
People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to
buy on their own, ort least not spend as much
money to purchase (a phenomenon referred to as
25 “the deadweight loss of Christmas”). To wit, givers
are likely to spend $100 to purchase a gift that
receivers would spend only $80 to buy themselves,
This “deadweight loss” suggests that gift-givers are
not very good at predicting what gifts others will
20 appreciate. That in itself is not surprising. to social
psychologists. Research has found that people often
struggle to take account of others. perspectives—
their insights are subject to egocentrism, social
projection, and multiple attribution errors.
35 What is surprising is that gift-givers have
considerable experience acting as both gift-givers and
gilt-recipients, but nevertheless tend to overspend
‘each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift.
In the present research, we propose a unique
49 psychological explanation for this overspending
problem—ie., that gift-givers equate how miich they.
‘nauthrize copying reuse any part hs page illegal

spend with how muich feeipients will appreciate the
sift (the more expensive the gift the stronger a
sitt-recipient’s feelings of appreciation). Although a
45 link between gift price and feelings of appreciation
‘ight seem intuitive to git-givers, such an
assumption may be unfounded. Indeed, we propose
thatgift-recipients will be less inclined to base their
feelings of appreciation on the magnitude of a gift
siy than givers assume.
‘Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely
linked to gift-recipients' feelings of appreciation?
Perhaps givers believe that bigger (ie., more
expensive) gifts convey stronger signals of
thoughtfulness and consideration. According to
Camerer (1988) and others, gift-giving represents a
symbolic ritual, whereby gift-givers attempt to signal
their positive attitudes toward the intended recipient
and their willingness to invest resources ina future
9 relationship. In this sense, gift-givers may be
‘motivated to spend more money ona gitt in order to
send a “stronger signal” to their intended recipient.
As for gift-recipients, they may not construe smaller
and larger gilts as representing smaller and larger
signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.
‘The notion of gilt-givers and gilt-recipients being
tunable to account for the other party's perspective
seems puzzling because people sip in and out of
these roles every day, and, in some cases, multiple
70 times in the course of the same day. Yet, despite the
extensive experience that people have as both givers
and receivers, they ofien struggle to transfer
information gained from one role (eg..asa giver)
and apply it in another, complementary role (e.g. a
a receiver). In theoretical terms, people fail to utilize
information about their own preferences and
experiences in order to produce more efficient
‘outcomes in their exchange relations. In practical
terms, people spend hundreds of dollars each year on
4 gifts, bat somehow never learn to calibrate their gift
expenditures according to personal insight.

passage and supplementary material.
This passage Is adapted from J.D. Watson and F. H.C. Crick,
*Genetical Implications of the Structure of Deoxyribonucleic
‘Acid” ©1953 by Nature Publishing Group. Watson and Crick
deduced the structure of DNA using evidence from Rosalind
Franklin and R.G. Gosling’s X-ray crystallography diagrams
‘of DNA and from Erwin Chargaff's data on the base
‘composition of DNA.
The chemical formula of deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) is now well established. The molecule isa
very long chain, the backbone of which consists of a
tine regular alternation of stigar and phosphate groups.
‘To each sugar iSattached a nitrogenous base, which
can be of four different types. Two of the possible
bases—adenine and guanine—are purines, afd the,
‘other two—thymine and eytosine—are pyrimidines:
So far as is known, the sequence of bases along the
ro chain is irregular. The monomer unit, consisting of
phosphate, sugar and base, is known asa nucleotide.
‘The first feature of our structure which is of
biological interest i that it consists not of one chain,
but of two. These two chains are both coiled around
15 a.common fiber axis Ithas often been assumed that
since there was only one chain in the chemical
formula there would only be one in the structural
unit. However, the density, taken with the X-ray
evidence, suggests very strongly that there are two.
20 The other biologically important feature is the
‘manner in which the two chains are held together.
This is done by hydrogen bonds between the bases.
‘The bases are joined together in pairs, a single base
from one chain being hydrogen-bonded to a single
base from the other. The important point is that only
certain pairs of bases will it into the structure.
‘One member ofa pair must be a purine and the other
a pyrimidine in order to bridge between the two
chains. [fa pair consisted of two purines, for
30 example, there would not be room for it.
We believe that the bases.will be present almost
entirely in their most probable forms. If this is true,
the conditions for forming hydrogen bonds are more
restrictive, and the only paits of bases possible are:
a5 adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine.
‘Adenine, for example, can occur on either chain; but
‘when it does its partner on the other chain must
always be thymine.
