READING COMPREHENSION
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.
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language" of
every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is
important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States,
people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the
handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm
or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a

half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable
when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another
person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me." Americans like to look the other person in the
eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not
interested. But when you are stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very
good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or
above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of
Trang 1/4 - Mã đề: 429
paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake
their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do, the safest thing
to do is to smile.
Câu 46. If you are introduced to a stranger from the USA, you should _______.
A. place a hand on his shoulder B. greet him with a hug
C. shake his hand weakly D. shake his hand firmly
Câu 47. From the passage we can learn that_______.
A. gestures can help us to express ourselves
B. American people often use body language in communication
C. It's confusing to understand a culture's body language
D. gestures don't mean anything while talking
Câu 48. American people often ________.
A. say "Pardon me" to each other when they are talking
B. get uncomfortable when you stand or sit too close to them
C. face each other directly when they are talking
D. show their friendship by touching each other
Câu 49. Which of the following is NOT true about the culture of the United States?
A. It's rude to look at the other person for a long time.
B. It's all right to raise your hand slightly when you want to attract the waiter's attention.
C. It's impolite to look the other person in the eyes while talking.
D. Pointing at someone is usually considered rude.

Câu 50. When your friend give you a thumbs-up, he, in fact.
A. expresses his worries about you B. shows his rudeness to you
C. shows his anger to you D. expresses his satisfaction to you

READING COMPREHENSION
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.
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language" of
every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is
important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States,
people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the
handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm
or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a
half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable
when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another
person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me." Americans like to look the other person in the
eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not
interested. But when you are stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very
Trang 1/4 - Mã đề: 429
good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or
above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of
paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake
their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do, the safest thing
to do is to smile.

Câu 46. When your friend give you a thumbs-up, he, in fact.
A. expresses his worries about you B. expresses his satisfaction to you
C. shows his rudeness to you D. shows his anger to you
Câu 47. If you are introduced to a stranger from the USA, you should _______.
A. shake his hand firmly B. place a hand on his shoulder
C. shake his hand weakly D. greet him with a hug
Câu 48. From the passage we can learn that_______.
A. American people often use body language in communication
B. It's confusing to understand a culture's body language
C. gestures can help us to express ourselves
D. gestures don't mean anything while talking
Câu 49. American people often ________.
A. face each other directly when they are talking
B. show their friendship by touching each other
C. get uncomfortable when you stand or sit too close to them
D. say "Pardon me" to each other when they are talking
Câu 50. Which of the following is NOT true about the culture of the United States?
A. It's all right to raise your hand slightly when you want to attract the waiter's attention.
B. It's rude to look at the other person for a long time.
C. It's impolite to look the other person in the eyes while talking.
D. Pointing at someone is usually considered rude.

Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language" of
every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is
important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States,
people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the

handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm
or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a
half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable
when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another
person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me." Americans like to look the other person in the
eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not
interested. But when you are stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very
Trang 1/4 - Mã đề: 429
good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or
above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of
paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake
their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do, the safest thing
to do is to smile.
