Part B: Questions 73 to 100 are related to the Main Passage which follow. Read the passage and answer the questions.

Passage 1:

Your eyes are about three inches apart. That’s more than trivia — it’s the reason you see the world in three dimensions. The separation gives your eyes two slightly different views of every scene you encounter. In the brain’s visual cortex, these views are compared, and the overlap is translated into a stereoptic picture. To estimate relative distances, your brain takes a reading of the tension in your eye muscles.
But you only see in 3-D up to about 200 feet. Beyond that, you might as well be one-eyed — your eyes aren’t far enough apart to give two very different views over long distances. Instead, you rely on experience to judge where things are; the brain looks for clues and makes its best guess. For example, it knows that near objects overlap far ones; that bright objects are closer than dim ones; and that large objects are nearer than small ones.
These “monocular cues” are what painters use to trick us into thinking a flat canvas is three-dimensional and miles deep. That’s why paintings are much more convincing if you close one eye: Your brain hunts down all the clues the painter has dropped. But when both of your eyes are open, the brain gets more information and mixed signals. The paint may say miles, but the muscles in your eyes say inches.
All of this fancy eyework is second nature to us, but it is learned. “Other cultures don’t perceive pictures the same way we do,” says J. Anthony Movshon, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at New York University. “For example, primitive people don’t always think bigger means nearer. It’s our Western way of seeing things, and it’s a way of seeing that we’ve learned.”

Passage 2:

Ambient divers arc, unlike divers who go underwater in submersible vehicles or pressure resistant suits, exposed to the pressure and temperature of the surrounding (ambient) water. Of all types of diving, the oldest and simplest is tree diving. Free divers may use no equipment at all, but most use a face mask, foot fins, and a snorkel. Under the surface, free divers must hold their breath. Most free divers can only descend 30 to 40 feet, but some skilled divers can go as deep as 100 feet.
Scuba diving, provides greater range than free diving. The word scuba stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. Scuba divers wear metal tanks with compressed air or other breathing gases. When using open-circuit equipment, a scuba diver simply breathes air from the tank through a hose and releases the exhaled air into the water. A closed-circuit breathing device, also called a rebreather, filters out carbon dioxide and other harmful gases and automatically adds oxygen. This enables the diver to breathe the same air over and over.
In surface-spooled diving, diving, divers wear helmets and waterproof camas suits. Toddy. sophisticated plastic helmets have replaced the heave copper helmets used in the past. These divers get their air from a hose connected to compressors on a boat. Surface-supplied divers can go deeper than any other type of ambient diver.

Passage 3:

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard’s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating 15 with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, “Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?” The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. 20 Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.
