The first copyright law in the United States was passed by Congress in 1790. In 1976 Congress enacted the
latest copyright law, 26 the technological developments that had occurred since the passage of the Copyright
Act of 1909. For example, in 1909, anyone who wanted to make a single copy of a 27 work for personal use
had to do so by hand. The very process 28 a limitation on the quantity of materials copied. Today, a
photocopier can do the work in seconds: the limitation has disappeared. The 1909 law did not provide full
protection for films and sound recordings, nor did it 29 the need to protect radio and television. As a result,
30 of the law and abuses of the intent of the law have lessened the 31 rewards of authors, artists, and
producers. The 1976 Copyright Act has not prevented these abuses fully, but it has clarified the legal rights of the
injured parties and given them an 32 for remedy.
Since 1976 the Act has been 33 to include computer software, and guidelines have been adopted for fair
use of television broadcasts. These changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflict that followed 34
the 1976 legislation.
The fine points of the law are decided by the courts and by acceptable common practice over time. As these
decisions and agreements are made, we modify our behavior accordingly. For now, we need to 35 the law and
its guidelines as accurately as we can and to act in a fair manner.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Fear can be an effective way to change behavior. One study compared the effects of high-fear and low-fear
appeals on changes in attitudes and behaviors related to dental hygiene ( 卫 生 . One group of subjects was
shown awful pictures of 36 teeth and diseased gums another group was shown less frightening materials
such as plastic teeth, charts, and graphs. Subjects who saw the frightening materials reported more anxiety and a
greater 37 to change the way they took care of their teeth than the low-fear group did.
But were these reactions actually 38 into better dental hygiene practices? To answer this important
question, subjects were called back to the laboratory on two 39 (five days and six weeks after the experiment).
They chewed disclosing wafers() that give a red stain to any uncleaned areas of the teeth and thus
provided a direct 40 of how well they were really taking care of their teeth. The result showed that the high-
fear appeal did actually result in greater and more 41 changes in dental hygiene. That is, the subjects 42 to
high-fear warnings brushed their teeth more 43 than did those who saw low-fear warnings.
However , to be an effective persuasive device it is very important that the message not be too frightening
and that people be given 44 guidelines to help them to reduce the cause of the fear. If this isn’t done, they may
reduce their anxiety by denying the message or the 45 of the communicator. If that happens, it is unlikely that
either attitude or behavior change will occur.
A) accustomed

F) decayed
