READING COMPREHENSION (10 pts) Read each passage and the questions which follow. From the four answer choices, choose the best answer to each question A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery that a sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects people in the way that a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by finding three blocks of houses in San Francisco that looked much alike and had the same kind of middle-class and working-class residents, with approximately the same ethnic mix. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyards terminology) while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) was used by 8,000 cars daily, and

Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day. Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didnt bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left. Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin. On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved and more were considering. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community. 1. The word astounding is closest in meaning to __________. A. startling B. disappointing C. dubious D. alternative 2. The three streets mentioned in this passage are different in that __________. A. they are in different cities B. the residents are of different ethnic backgrounds. C. they have varying amounts of traffic. D. the income levels of the residents vary considerably. 3.

A. increased amount of trash B. greater danger to residents C. more pollution D. more vibrations 5. The authors main purpose in the second paragraph is to __________. A. discuss the problem of trash disposal B. point out the disadvantage of heavy traffic C. propose an alternate system of transportation D. suggest ways to cope with traffic problems 6.
