Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between a
number of objects and a smaller number. In his book “The Natural History of Selboure” (1786), the naturalist
Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover’s nest, and how the mother laid
another egg each day to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of
a single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been noted by naturalists
that a certain type of wasp always provides five - never four, never six -caterpillars for each of their eggs so that
their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch. Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons
can be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers of food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can actually count.
They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct number of
barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of times.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species - as in the case of
the eggs - or survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or from
concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can “count” only when the objects are present and
only when the numbers involved are small - not more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, animals trained to
“count” one kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the numbers, are what interest
them. Animals’ admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to evidence of counting, nor do they
reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive generations, or the results of clever, careful
conditioning by trainers.
Question 30: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Of all animals, dogs and horses can count best
B. Careful training is required to teach animals to perform tricks involving numbers
C. Although animals may be aware of quantities, they cannot actually count
D. Animals cannot “count” more than one kind of object
Question 31: Why does the author refer to Gilbert White’s book in paragraph 1?
A. To contradict the idea that animals can count
B. To provide evidence that some birds are aware of quantities
C. To show how attitudes have changed since 1786
D. To indicate that more research is needed in this field
Question 32: The word “surreptitiously” is closest in meaning to _____.
A. stubbornly B. secretly C. quickly D. occasionally
Question 33: The word “they” refer to _____.
A. numbers B. animals C. achievements D. genes

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 35 to 42.
Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of other
members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has hogged the
limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public adulation, Henry stirs up no
envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him. The dog, who first arrived six months
ago, is a super dog, who has improved students’ behaviour and encouraged more students to focus on their
academic achievement.
Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming about
being able to interact with Henry during his time at the school’s catch-up classes, and that if he falls behind, that
opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps that is because Henry, who
lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had a calming effect on them.
It was Andrew’s teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed buying a school
dog. “Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect children’s conduct,” says
Brown. “We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets has been shown to be therapeutic. A
number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after surgery or illness and have a calming influence
on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a handful and some of the children Julie counsels have
terrible problems.”
Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school for
children with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one. Rosie Johnston, a
Mulberry staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school for three years. Apart from
being a calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons. Children at the school can be too shy
to read to adults so they read to Muskoka. “Their anxiety about mispronouncing something or getting the words
in the wrong order is reduced when they read to him,” says Johnston.
Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen's University Belfast specialises in animal-human interaction.
She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional love and that cheers up
adults and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of
schools says, “I don’t see why a teacher cannot create a positive learning environment through the subject they
teach and their personality. Dogs strike me as a bit of a publicity stunt. It’s the kind of sentimental story journalists
love.” Despite this sentiment, Henry remains as popular as ever.
(Adapted from “Ready for Advanced” by Roy Norris and Amanda French with Miles Hordern)
