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 .
Everyday life today is much more complicated than in the past. Even in our leisure time we
have to make so many choices about what to do or even what to watch on TV. We are often
spoilt for choice and this can leave us feeling confused and dissatisfied. We all know that it is
important to achieve a balance between work and play, but many of us do not succeed.
Instead, we put extra pressure on ourselves by trying to be as successful as in our work life as
in our personal life.
Life in the past was much simplier as many people worked to meet their basic needs. Today, for
many of us, our job is not just a way of making a living. For many, work plays an important role

in our everyday life and gives us a strong sense of personal fulfillment. What's more, we have

become much more materialistic. Many people set themselves goals such as buying a new

house or car and so we measure our success by the material things we own. Desiring these
luxuries is what motivates us to work much harder than in the past, so in many ways we choose
this way of life.
We have worked hard to improve our standard of living, but it may have come at a very high
price. We need to make some changes in our proprieties so that family occasions are as
important as business meetings. We should also take every possible opportunity to enjoy our
leisure time. Once you have made the decision to do this, you should find that your quality of

life also improves.

Read the passage and then choose the best answer.

Ever since humans

inhabited the earth, they have made

use of various forms of communication.

Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When
there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which

motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort

to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and
exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or

unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod

signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.

Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with
the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also
guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also
express human thoughts and feelings.

38. Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people?
A. Picture signs B. Braille C. Body language D. Signal flags
39. The word "wink" in paragraph 2 means most nearly the same as
A. close one eye briefly B. close two eyes briefly

C. bob the head up and down D. shake the head from side to side

THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
The golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America. It is located in
San Francisco, California, and spans the Golden Gate strait-a mile wide strait that connects the
Pacific Ocean to the San francisco Bay.
It is sure one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, and also one of the tallest (the height of
a bridge is the height of the towers). The bridge as it is today was designed by architects Irving
and Gertrude Morrow. However thier art deco project was not the first Golden Gate Bridge. The
original plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly

structure, certainly not something could be ever proud of.

The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been
tried before. It had the hightest towers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater
foundations ever built. The foundations were a real problem, because they had to be cast ina
depth of more than 100 feet. Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem. The real challenge lay in
the sinking of the piers in the violent waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost
impossible the construction began in 1933 and was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to
pedestrians. (It was opened to cars one years later). The bridge was finished ahead of schedule
and cost much less than was estimated. Today the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of
4,200 feet (almost a mile) and a total length of 8,981 feet. The towers supporting the huge
cables rise 746 feet above the water. Each steel cable is 7,650 long and has a diameter of 36

inches.

"International orange " is the color the bridge has always been painted. The architects chose it

because it blends well with the span's natural setting. However, if the Navy had had its way, the
bridge would have been painted black with yellow stripes-in favor of greater visibility for passing
ships. There are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraf beacon on
the tops of the towers to prevent planes from crashing into them.
The Golden Gate Bridge is the first sight for many people approaching the United States by
boat. It is almost the West Coast's " Stautue of Liberty" and is something everyone should at
least once.
