       d.   ?    Nigerian ministers today have no apprehensions about their country’s 
          financial status, as it is plain that it is constantly getting better.
       e.   ?    Today we see that Nigeria is progressing economically, but in the recent
          past, this was not the case and economists were wary of the optimistic views
          of its leaders.

      vacation in Thailand?
      Mike : – —-Cheryl : – Yes, that’s it. She’d booked a hotel
      room online, and when she arrived the hotel was full. She had to spend four hours
      in the rain trying to find another place to stay.
 119.  a.   ?    She told me all about it.
       b.   ?    No; what happened?
       c.   ?    Thailand? I thought she went to Indonesia for her vacation.
       d.   ?    When did she return from her trip?

 120. Jeff : – Are there considerable cultural differences in the way business is conducted
      between China and Western countries?
      Neal : – Oh yes, there are many differences
      and you have to be aware of these if you want to succeed in China.Jeff : – —-
      Neal : – Well, in Western-style business, we focus on the deal, the possibilities
      and the risks. In China, top businessmen spend a good deal of time exploring 
      what sort of person you are. Your character is more important than what you do.
 121.  a.   ?    Which regions of China are the best for making high profits?
       b.   ?    What are the advantages of doing business in China?
       c.   ?    Have you ever done business in China?
       d.   ?    What sort of differences?
       e.   ?    How does one go about making business contacts there?
 122. Carol : – People appreciate the extraordinary beauty of butterflies, but their
      colours and shapes might also be functional, mightn’t they? Paul : – I’ve really
      no idea. In what way?
      Carol : – —-Paul : – Really? That’s interesting.
 123.  a.   ?    This has to do with genetics. One should try to learn more about it.
       b.   ?    This specific chapter is on the evolution of patterns on the wings of
          butterflies
       c.   ?    Some dark forms of swallowtail butterflies mimic unrelated inedible species.
          Is that what you are referring to?
       d.   ?    This book gives examples of all of this and more
       e.   ?    For instance, the markings that resemble eyes on butterflies may help
          them startle predators and then escape from them.
 124. Helen : – I think forensics programmes on TV are giving a distorted view of what
      forensic science can or cannot do.
      Mark : – —-Helen : – But they do. Some attorneys
      think that these forensics programmes can affect the jurors’ demands and decisions.
 125.  a.   ?    I think most people are responsible enough not to be affected.

 128. James : – Are you planning to attend any of the plays at the Shakespeare festival
      this year? Allie : – —-
      James : – One critic, Harold Bloom, says that it’s because
      he teaches us more about ourselves than any other writer.Allie : – That could
      be the reason.
 129.  a.   ?    Yes, of course. I wonder what it is that makes his plays so popular, 
          year after year.
       b.   ?    No, but did you know that he wasn’t really respected by the public during
          his own lifetime? It was only a hundred years later that he was taken seriously
       c.   ?    I’d like to, but I’m not sure I’ll have time. Why do you ask?
       d.   ?    I’m planning to see all of them. In fact, I’ve already bought a season
          ticket.
       e.   ?    Do you know, Shakespeare’s really not my favourite thing.

      of occultism, such as magic and astrology, organized occultism is a modern phenomenon.
      Few of the various organized occult movements have existed for more than 150 
      years; some were formed as a belated countermovement to the Enlightenment, when
      people began to follow rational schools of thought. Today’s occult views are 
      based on the idea that there are events within nature, as well as within one’s
      spiritual life, which seem mysterious and cannot be explained by science. Examples
      include extrasensory perceptions such as telepathy and telekinesis, and haunted
      places or people. Believers maintain that these phenomena stem from unknown powers
      that can often be accessed only by some people with special abilities.76. We 
      understand from the passage that adherents of occultism claim that certain people—-.
 131.  a.   ?    practise magic and explain events by means of astrological signs
       b.   ?    were the pioneers of the anti-Enlightenment movements in the eighteenth
          and nineteenth centuries

          spiritual life

      person’s attitudes determine his or her behaviour is deeply ingrained in Western
      thinking, and in many instances the assumption holds. However, research has shown
      that the relationship between attitudes and behaviour is complex. A classic study
      conducted during the 1930s was the first to question the link. A white professor
      travelled across the US with a young Chinese couple. At that time, there was 
      quite strong prejudice against Asians, and there were no laws against racial 
      discrimination. The three travellers stopped at over 200 hotels, motels and restaurants,
      and were served at all the restaurants and all but one of the hotels and motels
      without problem. Later, a letter was sent to all of the establishments visited,
      asking them whether or not they would accept a Chinese couple as guests. Of the
      128 replies received, 92 per cent said they would not. In other words, these

      drove me around and showed me their favourite hot springs and also the beach 
      where a popular TV series had once been filmed. At mealtimes, they introduced
      me to their favourite restaurants, where I sampled cheeses from south New Zealand
      that don’t get exported, and fruits grown locally. Normally such a tight schedule
      would make me nervous, but I found myself happily relinquishing control to my
      hosts, who truly understood the pleasures of their native country and enjoyed
      sharing them. I couldn’t have encountered this New Zealand on my own.90. It is
      implied in the passage that the narrator usually likes —-.

       c.   ?    local food more than nationally popular food
       d.   ?    to travel in a relaxed and leisurely way

      is all right. Fifteen years after one of the worst recessions any European country
      has seen, triggered by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Finns feel very 
      content. Their small country of a population of 5 million is the first in the
      World Economic Forum’s list of the world’s most competitive countries, and the
      second in its business-competitiveness index. It is also the first in the OECD’s
      world ranking of educational performance and has the second-highest share of 
      research-and-development spending in the European Union. Moreover, the country
      is reversing its demographic decline and, hence, its fertility rate is one of
      the highest in Europe. Perhaps best of all the Finns are facing globalization
      without paranoia. Theirs is one of the few European countries to have succeeded
      in businesses in which international prices are falling because of global competition
      and technological change. In most of Europe public opinion and even business 
      élites seem gloomily resigned to being overwhelmed by India and China. Finland
      suggests that this fate is not inevitable91. We learn from the passage that,

 170. 96. – 100. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız.Until the giant American
      energy company Enron collapsed, and its director Kenneth Lay was imprisoned, 
      his life had been a model of the American dream of rising from rags to riches
      on the strength of merit and hard work. His beginnings were socially and financially
      very modest. He was born in Tyrone, Missouri, in 1942, as the son of a preacher
      who was also a part-time salesman. He helped his father make ends meet by cutting
      grass and delivering papers. His start in the energy industry seemed similarly
      modest. After obtaining a doctoral degree in economics from the University of
      Houston, he got his start in the booming Texan oil industry. In 1985 he merged
      Houston Natural Gas with InterNorth of Nebraska in order to form Enron. As Enron
      became stronger, Mr Lay turned increasingly to politics and was one of the biggest
      donors to the Bush-Cheney campaign. After Mr Bush entered the White House, Mr
      Lay had hopes of a seat in the cabinet, perhaps as energy secretary or even at
      the Treasury. However, for reasons that remain unclear, Mr Bush overlooked him,
