Read the folio wing passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
We can communicate not only true words but also through body language. Body language concludes our
posture, facial expressions and gestures. Because body language is so important. you will want to know what
yours is saying and how to interpret other people's, too. Here are some examples of body language and its

meaning. If you posture is slumped and your head is down, this could mean that you are sad or you lack
confidence. If your posture is straight but relaxed, you are expressing confidence and friendliness. A smile is a
sign of friendliness and interest. But people sometimes smile just to be polite. To get another clue from people's
faces, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are expressed when a person's eyes meet yours and then look
away and meet yours again. A person who doesn't look away is expressing a challenge. A person who doesn't
look at you is expressing lack of interest or shyness. Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the
conversation. But repeated movements- like tapping a pencil or tapping a foot- often mean the person is either
impatient or nervous. Stay away from someone who points at you while talking with you: that person might be
angry at you or feel superior to you.
36. Which of the options is NOT body language?
A. posture B. words C. gestures D. facial expressions
37. According to the writer, if you want to express your confidence, you should ________.
A. smile B. look away
C. stand straight but relaxingly D. Tap your foot repeatedly
38. If someone wants to express their friendliness to you, they usually ________.
A. look at your face all time B. look at your eyes now and again
C. look away from your eyes D. look at your face now and again
39. A person who expresses their interest in conversations usually uses their ________.
2
A. posture B. hand gestures C. smiles D. facial expressions
40. A person making repeated movements like tapping a pencil often means to be ________.
A. shy or nervous B. impatient or angry C. impatient or shy D. impatient or nervous

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 from 38 to 42.
At 32, I have just finished my first year at university. As well as attending lectures regularly, I have had to learn
to read books quickly and write long essays. I decided to go to university after fourteen years away from the
classroom. As a secretary, although I was earning a reasonable amount of money, I was bored with doing
something where I hardly had to think. I became more and more depressed by the idea that I was stuck in the job.
I was jealous of the students at the local university, who looked happy, carefree and full of hope, and part of
something that I wanted to explore further. However, now that I've actually become a student I find it hard to
mix with younger colleagues. They are always mistaking me for a lecturer and asking me questions I can't
answer. I also feel separated from the lecturers because, although we are the same age, I know so much less than
7
them. But I am glad of this opportunity to study because I know I need a qualification to get a rewarding job,
which is really important to me. Unlike most eighteen-year-olds, I much prefer a weekend with my books to one
out partying. Then there are the normal student benefits of long holidays and theatre and cinema discounts. I
often have doubts about what I'll do after university, but I hope that continuing my education at this late date has
been a wise choice.

Question 40: How did the writer feel about her job as a secretary?
A. Her salary wasn't good enough. C. It didn't make use of her brain.
B. It gave her the opportunity to study. D. Her colleagues made her depressed.

A. go out to parties. B. earn some money. C. travel a lot. D. do extra study.
Question 42: Which of these sentences describes the writer?
