Directions: For each numbered blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET 1.
A subject which seems to have been insufficiently studied by doctors and psychologists is the influence of geography and climate on the psychological and 41 health of mankind. There seems no doubt that the general 42 of the landscape, the relative length of day and night, and the climate must 43 play a big part in determining what kind of people we are.
It is true that a few studies have been made. Where all the inhabitants of a particular area enjoy exceptionally good or bad health, scientists have identified contributory factors such as the presence or absence of 44 like iodine, fluoride, calcium, or iron in the water supply, or perhaps types of land that 45 breeding places for pests like mosquitoes or rats.

47 , talkative, and spontaneous.
But these commonplace generalizations are 48 : the influence of climate and geography should be studied in depth. Do all mountain dwellers live to a ripe old age? Does the drinking of wine, rather than beer, result 49 a sunny and open temperament? Is the strength and height of one of the Kenyan tribes due to their habitual drinking of the blood of cows?
