UNIT 1_ HOME LIFE
PRACTICE TEST 1
Read the passage carefully and then choose the item A, B, C or D that best answers the question
about the passage:
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their children, may be more an American ideal
than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than
we has been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class and religious customs among
different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American
Families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or
have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American
households are single people, usually women over sixty – five years of age. A small percentage, about 3
percent of the total, consist of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent
are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and
therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationship in family forms other
than the traditional one.

UNIT 3_ WAYS OF SOCIALIZING
PRACTICE TEST 4
I. Read the following passage and choose A, B , C or D to indicate the correct answer for each of the
questions
Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to
share knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech,
communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent
behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such
as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in

turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout
a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn
verbal skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading
nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the
nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not
cease to exist although become entwined in the total communication process.
1. According to the writer, ________.
A. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.
B. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language.
C. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language.
D. People communicate with both verbal and nonverbal language.
2. Which is not included in nonverbal communication?
A. words B. spatial distance C. facial expressions D. tone of voice
3. We can learn from the text that ________.
A. nonverbal can never get any responses
B. most people do not like nonverbal communication
C. even silence has message value
D. touching is not accepted in communicating

courses.

accounting for 11% of the total number of universities. These non-public universities are currently training
119,464 students, or 11.7% of the total number of students. The government is planning to increase the

What is life like for today’s students? As the university and college terms began, I talked to a few
students about their lives.
Sarah James is a second year biology student. “Money is a big problem”, said Sarah. “I can eat quite
cheaply at the university but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend quite a lot on clothes, as I like to
wear things that are in fashion”.
Colin Peter, who is studying engineering, disagrees. “I don’t spend anything on clothes,” he said,
“unless you count climbing boots. I’m very keen on climbing, and you do need special equipment, some of
which is very expensive. Luckily, my parents gave me money for my birthday in November. Not much of my
money goes on transport, because I have a bicycle.”
Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. “I make all my clothes. This should save me money, but in
fact, the materials are very expensive. I don’t know how I would manage if I didn’t sell some of the dresses
and hats I make to the other students. Everything is expensive”, she said. “That includes the rent, food,
transport and heating for the flat in winter.”
Jack is a science student in his final year. “What do I spend my money on?” Well, not on clothes, and
not a lot on going out in the evening. My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.

PRACTICE TEST 11
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 form 1 to 5.
One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are dangerous
or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of paint has a harmful effect on
painters, but it doesn't "bother" a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power plants and in undersea
research stations that might be dangerous for humans. Already, robots are working in the plastics
industry and in chemical and industrial equipment industries. One of the most common uses of
robots is still in automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous work. These
kinds of industrial robots are not usually "mobile". The work they need to do is brought to them, like
cars on an assembly line, for example.
The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s, Japan led the world in robot
production with more than 71,000 industrial robots at work. Both the United States and Japan, as
well as other countries, continue to develop more advanced robots. Robots can now be made to
perform more complex jobs. Robots can make decisions while they are working and learn from their
mistakes. Robots can now see with TV camera "eyes." They can easily hear and can even speak
using a voice made by a computer. But it is difficult to make a robot "understand." Thinking and
understanding are very human qualities. The robots of the future will probably be very complex.
They will be able to perform many humanlike tasks. Robots and other technology will make the
future a very interesting place!

1. We can infer from the passage that by the middle of the 1990s__________________.
A. only Japan had used robots in production
B. Japan and the USA were the only countries to use robots
C. some countries had used robots in industrial production

Read the passage carefully, and then choose the best option of words to answer the questions:
Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do very little reading, or if
you read only material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will be of very little use.
Once we reach a certain age, or once our formal schooling is completed, many of us become so restricted in
our choice of reading that we rarely read any new type of reading experience. We tend to read only books in
our professional or business field, or only inspirational books, or only our favorite newspapers every
morning, or only one magazine for which we have developed a preference. And the trouble starts here. You
should neither read only for entertainment nor only for information but you should also read for intellectual
growth, for mental stimulation, for enriching your background of knowledge, for wisdom, and for broader
outlook and mature understanding. What kind of books should you read to continue your intellectual growth,
to gain a background for opinion and for judgment? The answer is simple one: Read books in fields you
have little or no acquaintance with, books that will open for you new horizons of learning, books that will help

you explore new areas of knowledge and experience, books that will make the world and people more
understandable to you. Sadly, more and more people today are giving up the printed word in favor of being
entertained and informed by watching TV, a popular entertainment ,device present at almost homes. More
and more children are being subjected to TV programming, perhaps as a babysitter. More than two hours of
TV time per day are now a part of children development, generating physiological and mental problems that
are of growing concern among experts.

PRACTICE TEST 17
Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions
Aquatic sports — sports involving playing in or upon the water — take various forms. The main
activities include swimming, synchronized swimming, diving and water polo. Swimming is the act of moving
through the water by using the arms, legs, and body in motion. It is an integral part of almost all water-based
activities. In synchronized swimming, the players perform beautiful maneuvers to music and diving. Water
polo, on the other hand, is a game where two opposing teams play against each other, attempting to throw a
buoyant ball into the opponent’s goal.
Underwater activities are less varied, the most popular of which are snorkeling and scuba diving.
Snorkeling involves swimming face down just below the water surface while breathing through a slender
plastic tube called a snorkel, meanwhile scuba divers carry a big tank of air that allows them to breathe while
deep underwater.
Aquatic sports have long been acknowledged as excellent ways to take physical exercise.
Furthermore, practicing them is known to produce both psychological and physical benefits which help to
improve mood states and reduce the risk of many serious diseases. This explains why aquatic sports have
become very popular forms of exercise among people of all ages.
