PASSAGE 2: Reаd this pаssаge tо answer questiоns 7-14. Hair: Why Dо We Care? [A] It is estimated that the average woman in America usually goes through over 100 different hairstyles during her adult life. There are many women who will proudly claim that they have had hair of various lengths, styles, and colors. Although men are not thought to make alterations as frequently as women, some men do make dramatic changes to their hairstyles at key moments in their lives. These facts lead to a crucial question: What is it that makes people change their hairstyles? To answer this, we must turn to the discipline of psychology. [B] The first reason that psychologists provide is fairly straightforward. The way our hair looks is directly associated with our age. For most people, aging causes some degree of anxiety. Hiding the fact that we are getting older can thus help to relieve this stress. For men who are gradually losing their hair, a new hairstyle can help cover a noticeable bald spot. For women, a new color can cover up the appearance of gray hairs. In short, changes to hairstyle can go a long way in maintaining an individual's appearance of youthfulness. [C] According to psychologists, a second common reason why people change their hair is because an attractive hairstyle is a great way to make a first impression. Since it frames our face, our hair is one of the physical features most clearly remembered after meeting someone for the first time. Interestingly, it is even more noticeable than other common elements of our appearance. When we walk into a room with a new haircut and a new pair of jeans, it is common for most people in the room to notice the former rather than the latter. For this reason, it is no real surprise that people often go to the hair salon before a job interview or their first day at a new company or school. [D] The desire to demonstrate control over our lives is the third main reason that psychologists provide. Studies show that men and women often change their hairstyles during a period of personal difficulty. Although this sometimes occurs after the loss of a job or relocation to a new city or country, the most common situation is after a breakup.1 By changing our hairstyles, we provide evidence to both ourselves and the world around us that we are in control of our lives. As Amy Lewis explains, changing hairstyles can be "empowering, especially when you feel like other aspects of your life are out of control." [E] The reason why hair is often chosen to demonstrate self-control is because it is one of the easiest things to change. Paying for a new hairstyle, after all, is much cheaper than buying a whole new wardrobe2 and much less permanent than getting a tattoo. Furthermore, our hair is an extremely visual, and thus noticeable, aspect of ourselves. [F] With this information in mind, the next time you visit your hairstylist, you should ask yourself: What is my real motivation for changing my hair? 1 A breakup is when a romantic relationship ends between two people. 2 A wardrobe is all the clothes that someone has. QUESTION: Which of the following reasons for changing hairstyles is not mentioned in the passage?

In reality, they are probably even higher than you think, because in addition to the federal income tax we are now studying, there are many other Federal, State, and local taxes, including sales taxes, inheritance taxes, state income taxes, personal property taxes, real estate taxes, and others. These are just some of the most obvious ones.

The bad reputation of the coyote traces back to his fondness for small animals; he hunts at night and is particularly destructive to sheep, young pigs, and poultry. Yet it is sometimes wise to encourage coyotes. Provided valuable farm animals are protected, the coyote will often free the property of other animals, like rabbits, which are ruinous to crops and certain trees. He is especially beneficial in keeping down the rodent population. Where coyotes have been allowed to do their work without molestation, ranchers and fruit growers have found them so valuable that they would no more shoot them than they would shoot their dogs.

The Lоuisiana Purchase prоved to be one of the shrewdest business pacts in the entire history of the United States. The purchase doubled in the area of the country and provided territory from which fourteen new states were created either wholly or in part. It also gave us control over the mouth of the Mississippi River and opened up the way to foreign trade. Prior to the purchase, the waterway had been blocked by the Spanish, probably with the approval of Napoleon. The land that was bought was rich in timber, minerals, and natural resources of many kinds. Finally, the cost of the transaction was unbelievably low; the total of $15 million amounted to about four cents an acre.
