Giving positive nonverbal messages can improve your relationship with your child and

develop emotional connections in your family. Most children love being hugged and kissed, for
example. This warm and caring body language sends the nonverbal message that you want to be
close to your child. Some children with special needs – for example, children with autism and
sensory sensitivities –might find body contact difficult.
Matching your verbal and nonverbal communication makes your words more effective. For
example, a teacher might explain a maths problem using her hands to show size and shape. But
when verbal and nonverbal messages don’t match, your child might believe the nonverbal – after
all, what you see is what you get. Your child learns a lot about nonverbal communication by
watching you. For example, if you approach new people in a relaxed way, your child is more
likely to do the same.

Tapescript
PART 1
The year 1931 was a big one in Chinese history. By August of that year, the three big rivers had
all flooded so badly that most of central China was submerged. Over 100,000 people were killed
in the immediate floods, but the survivors had problems of their own. The floods killed crops,
washed out grain storage facilities, leveled houses, and destroyed roads. Many rural communities
were homeless and stranded without food, and without any way for aid to reach them. The
flooding was so bad that the ground was still underwater when fall arrived, which meant that
farmers couldn’t even plant crops for the next year. To make matters worse, the government of
China was so disorganized and weak from the wars of the last decades, that they couldn’t gather
together the resources and people needed to save the stranded villages.
Ultimately, this is why the death toll was so high. Millions of people starved to death, disease
swept through weakened communities, and homeless refugees were stuck without shelter. In

some cases, the situation was so bad that people resorted to cannibalism, eating the dead just to
survive.

should use cloth sacks again and again. You have to save some trees! Shoe boxes and margarine
containers can be used to store things or become fun art projects. Use your imagination!
You can also recycle in your home or even at school. Many communities have recycling centers
for newspapers, batteries and a variety of glass and plastics. These can be made into new
products.

Part B: MY FAMILY
With six people in my family, it’s not fun being the middle kid. Besides Mum and Dad, I have two
older brothers and a pretty sister. My father is a manager in a company, and my mother is a doctor.
They are quite busy all day. We all try to help with the housework.
Chang Han is my eldest brother. He is a junior in a university nơ. He is going to be a medical doctor.
When he is at home, he has his nose in a book and yells at me if I make the slightest noise. My pretty
sister is only in elementary school, but she is good at helping mother with cooking and cleaning.
I’m only a senior in high school. I’m just young enough to get pushed around by my big brothers and
not old enough yet to boss my younger sister. My second elder brother is a whiz at math. Since I’m
going to be a chemistry major in college, I sometimes need his help with my homework. He is only a
freshman, but he is really good. However, I can not complain too much. I really love my family. I’m
pround of all of them. I would not change them for any other family.

pollution. We pollute the air with our cars, homes, and factories. Smoke from factories and car

exhaust makes the air looks gray and smoggy. Some people cannot go outside when the air is very
bad! We pollute the water by dumping garbage and Chemicals in the water. Plants and animals die
because of the pollution in the water. We pollute the soil with Chemicals and garbage. We harm
the land by cutting down trees in the forest, especially to build roads and new houses without
careful planning and thinking.
The only way to save our environment is to think about pollution. How can you stop or limit
pollution? How do we protect our environment? Conservation is one way to protect our
environment. Conservation is the wise use and protection of our environment. We can control
water pollution by not producing as much as waste and by proper disposal of sewage and garbage.

STUDENTS’ ANSWER


TAPESCRIPTS:
PART 1:
A: ... and I’d like to welcome Dr Joe Purdy of the Institute for Scientific Research ...
B: Thank you...

A: Dr Purdy, what would you say is the most striking thing about volcanoes?
B: Well, volcanoes are a very powerful natural phenomenon. And of course they can cause a
village with hundreds of people to disappear in seconds. But for me, what is most amazing
about them is the fact that they can erupt at any time, without any warning ...
A: Yes ...
B: But now scientists are working on the idea that volcanic eruptions are related to the moon ...
A: The moon? Can this be possible?
B: Well, they think that the moon may effect volcanic eruptions. For example, a volcano is
more likely to erupt when there is a full moon. This is a very old idea, but it has never been
tested until recently ...
A: I see ...
A: But not all volcanoes are dangerous killers ...
B: Really?
A: Take Mount Etna, in Sicily. Everybody has heard of Mount Etna. It’s called the "Friendly
Giant", not because it’s big - though it is - but because its lava moves very slowly. This gives
people time to escape. It’s not a killer volcano ... even though it looks terrible during its
eruptions ...
B: Oh, I didn’t know that about its lava ...
A: It’s true. Also, people have recorded the deaths caused by Mount Etna for over three
thousand years, and it has only killed seventy-three people in all that time. That’s not very
many when you think about it, though there was a large eruption in sixteen sixty-nine ... but
nobody recorded any deaths ...
B: Amazing...
A: Volcanoes are always changing ... for example, the cone, that’s the channel the lava flows
through, can close up and a new cone can form. A new cone is actually a new volcano. On the
site of Mount Fuji in Japan, there were two other volcanoes there before the present one ...
B: Amazing!
A: Mount Fuji is actually a very popular place for tourists, including the Japanese. It has about
four hundred
thousand visitors a year. In the summer, there can be twenty thousand a day ...

B: And can you tell us about the word "volcano" itself?
A: Yes ... it comes from the Italian word "vulcano" which means "burning mountain", and that
comes from the Latin "Vulcanus". All "burning mountains", like Vesuvius and Mount Fiji,
were given this name, but the name "Vulcanus" was first given by the Romans to Mount Etna
because they thought that it was the home of the god Vulcanus ...
PART 2: Listen and complete the sentences.
DRIVERLESS CARS
Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven
driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been
designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there – they just need to see if they’re
value for money, work out insurance issues, and run final tests to check they can run alongside
human-driven cars on the road. So how do they work? The cars have sensors all around which
can detect other cars and obstacles in the road. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking,
so the car knows how far it is from the kerb or other parked cars. Road signs are read by
cameras, and satellite navigation systems are used so the car knows how to get to your


destination. All you have to do is type in the address. Finally, a central computer system takes
in all the information it receives from the sensors and cameras and processes this to work out
when to accelerate, brake and steer. However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars.
Computers would have difficulties making ethical decisions; if a child ran into the road, would
the computer choose to hit the child or swerve and potentially kill the car’s passengers?
Moreover, I personally find driving fun – I’d miss never being behind the wheel myself. There
would also be many legal decisions to be made – should children, or drunk people, be allowed
in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a responsible adult with a driving
license in the car at all times?
