answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or improper,
normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our own, we may
experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally different
culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other cultures; however, passing
judgment could reach a level where people begin to discriminate against others whose “ways of being” are
different than their own—essentially, we tend to fear that which we do not understand.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and schools increasingly consist of various
cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level of
understanding about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about other
cultures helps us understand different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps dispel negative
stereotypes and personal biases about different groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect “ways of being” that are not necessarily our own,
so that as we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures.
Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from diverse cultures
contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
There are three basic types of classroom learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. These learning
styles describe the most common ways that people learn. Individuals tend to instinctively prefer one style
over the others; thus each person has a learning style that is dominant even though he or she may also rely
somewhat on the other approaches at different times and in different circumstances.
Visual learners prefer to sit somewhere in the classroom where no obstructions hinder their view of
the lesson. They rely on the teacher's facial expressions and body language to aid their learning. They
learn best from a blend of visual displays and presentations such as colorful videos, diagrams, and flip-
charts. Often, these learners think in pictures and may even close their eyes to visualize or remember
something. When they are bored, they look around for something to watch. Many visual learners lack
confidence in their auditory memory skills and so may take detailed notes during classroom discussions
and lectures. Auditory learners sit where they can hear well. They enjoy listening and talking, so
discussions and verbal lectures stimulate them. Listening to what others have to say and then talking the
subject through helps them process new information. These learners may be heard reading to
themselves out loud because they can absorb written information better in this way. Sounding out
spelling words, reciting mathematical theories, or talking their way across a map are examples of
the types of activities that improve their understanding.
Kinesthetic learners may find it difficult to sit still in a conventional classroom. They need to be
physically active and take frequent breaks. When they are bored, they fidget in their seats. They prefer to
sit someplace where there is room to move about. They benefit from manipulating materials and learn
best when classroom subjects such as math, science, and reading are processed through hands-on
experiences. Incorporating arts-and-crafts activities, building projects, and sports into lessons helps
kinesthetic learners process new information. Physical expressions of encouragement, such as a pat on
the back, are often appreciated.
In addition to these traditional ways of describing learning styles, educators have identified other
ways some students prefer to learn. Verbal learners, for example, enjoy using words, both written and
spoken. Logical learners are strong in the areas of logic and reasoning, social learners do best when
working in groups, whereas solitary learners prefer to work alone. Research shows that each of
these learning styles, as well as the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic styles, uses different parts of
 the brain. Students may prefer to focus on just one style, but practicing other styles involves more of
the brain's potential and therefore helps students remember more of what they learn.
