I. definitively J. currents K. display L. whom M. adequately N. quickened O. tendency Expressionism
is an artistic style in which the artist seeks to depict not objective reality but rather the
1 emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in him. In a broader sense Expressionism
is one of the main 2 of art in the late 19th and the 20th centuries. Its 3 subjective, personal
self-expression is typical of a wide range of modern artists and art movements. More specifically,
Expressionism as a 4 style or movement refers to a number of German artists, as well as Austrian,
French, and Russian ones, who became active in the years before World War I and remained so
throughout much of the War period. The roots of the German Expressionist school lay in the works
of Vincent Van Gogh, Edvard Munch, and James Ensor, each of 5 in the period 1885-1900 evolved
a highly personal painting style. These artists used the expressive possibilities of color and
line to 6 dramatic and emotion themes, to convey the qualities of fear, horror, etc. They broke
away from the literal representation of nature in order to express more subjective outlooks or
states of mind. The 7 of Expressionism was brought about by the vagueness of its longing for a
better world, by its use of highly poetic language, and in general the intensely personal and
8 nature of its mode of presentation. The partial re-establishment of stability in Germany after
1924 and the growth of more overtly political styles of social realism 9 the movement's decline
in the late 1920s. Expressionism was 10 killed by the rise of the Nazis to power in 1933.

instinct J. inherently K. belief L. settle M. reached N. gained O. distinct It is well known that
teenage boys tend to do better at math than girls, that male high school students are more likely
than their female 1 to tackle advanced math courses like calculus, that virtually all the great
mathematicians have been men. Are women born with 2 mathematical ability? Or does society's sexism
slow their progress? In 1980, two Johns Hopkins University researchers tried to 3 the eternal
nature/ nurture debate. Julian Stanley and Camilla Benbow had 4 10,000 talented seventh- and
eighth-graders between 1972 and 1979. Using the Scholastic Aptitude Test, in which math questions
are meant to measure ability rather than knowledge, they discovered 5 sex differences. While the
verbal abilities of the males and females 6 differed, boys twice as many as girls scored over
500(on a scale of 200 to 800)on mathematical ability; at the 700 level, the ratio was 14 to 1.
The conclusion: males have 7 superior mathematical reasoning ability. Benbow and Stanley's
findings, which were published in "Science", disturbed some men and not a few women. Now there
is 8 for those people in a new study from the University of Chicago that suggests math is not,
after all, a natural male domain. Prof. Zalman Usiskin studied 1,366 tenth graders. They were
selected from 9 classes and tested on their ability to solve geometry proofs, a subject requiring
both abstract reasoning and spatial ability. The conclusion 10 by Usiskin: there are no sex
differences in math ability.

today. The brain of the modern chimpanzee is 5 not too dissimilar to the brain that so many millions
of years ago directed the behavior of the first ape man. For a long time, the fact that 6 man
made tools was considered to be one of the major criteria to 7 them from other creatures. It is
true that the chimpanzee does not fashion his tools to a regular and set pattern—but then,
primitive man, before his development of stone tools, undoubtedly poked around with sticks and
straws, at which 8 it seems unlikely that he made tools to a set pattern either. It is because
of the close 9 in most people's minds of tools with man that special attention has always been

10, on its own, does not necessarily indicate any special intelligence in the creature concerned.
