2.Read the passage and Choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question. (1m)
One custom that gives insight into people’s history and values is the way they greet one another. There is a
wide range of greetings around the world. These range from the common handshake to other strange rituals
found in some countries. Let’s take a look at how the simple action of greeting someone differs greatly from
place to place.
In the United States and Canada, for example, a simple handshake or nod is the norm. The handshake has
an interesting origin: it started long ago as a way of showing people that you weren’t carrying a weapon.
Shaking the person’s right hand while looking him or her in the eye is the usual method. Handshakes are also
common in other parts of the world, including Britain and Russia. In Russia, males grasp other men’s hands
very strongly during the handshake. Handshakes are also how most people in New Zealand greet each other.
However, the native Maori people of that country display more physical contact: they press their noses together
in a sign of trust and closeness.
In other countries, such as France and Belgium, hugging and kissing are more common when two people
meet. In those cultures, people kiss each other on the cheeks. The number of times varies depending on the
particular country. In Saudi Arabia, men might hug and kiss each other (but not a woman) on the cheek. Men

will also shake hands with other men there. In some Eastern countries, including Korea and Japan, bowing is
the traditional greeting. In Japan, the deeper the bow, the deeper the respect shown. The strangest custom,
though, is likely in Tibet. People there opt to stick out their tongue to greet others.
1. What is this reading mainly about ?
A. The importance of handshakes all around the world B. The origins and histories of various greetings


C. The strangest types of greetings on Earth.
D. The wide range of greeting customs in the world
2. Which of the following sentence is TRUE ?
A. People in Russia, but not England, shake hands
B. The number of times people kiss on the cheek varies
C. In the past, people nodded If they weren’t carrying a weapon
D. You shouldn’t look at people when shaking their hands in the United States
3. How do most people in New Zealand greet each other ? - .......................................................
A. With a handshake
B. By pressing noses together
C. With a kiss on the cheek
D. By sticking cut their tongue
4. Which type of country is NOT mentioned in the reading ?
A. A North American country B. A European country C. A South American country D. An Asian country
3.Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.

typewriter, a book or a dictionary. Convinced that computers are the key to success, parents are insisting that

unemployable if they haven't mastered computer technology. The use of computers in school is becoming more
and more widespread. However, many teachers welcome computers, while others remain reluctant. They argue
