A stinky gym bug in your kitchen? Who will be more upset by the smell - the men or the

Hearing is possibly one of the most debated areas, when talking about the senses. Evidence

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of
body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note,
however, that body languages varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In
the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In
Trang 1/4 - Mã đề 159


other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is
considered a sign of disrespect.
Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In
North America people don’t generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two
North Americans who don’t know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between
them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North
Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential
conversation or if there is intimacy between them.
Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or
move any other part of the body - to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean
that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often

we find that the same gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country.
An example of a gesture that could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many
cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some places it communicates ridicule.
The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the
language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to
communicate successfully.
(Adapted from “Reading Academic English” by Judy Rapoport, Ronit Broder and Sarah
Feingold)
