26-30 . Read the passage below. Then choose the best answer (A, B,C, or D)to each question :
Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be
friends with them or that you don’t trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn’t as hard to explain as it
may seem. For instance, people give out body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body,
head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across
your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive . Holding your head to one side shows
interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident .All this affects the
way you feel about someone.
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something as
simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your
feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you
were happy as a child. Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never
realize it is happening.
26. What does the word “open” in the passage most closely mean?
A. not shut
B. unlimited
C. relaxed
D. enlarged
27. What influences your impression of a person you meet the first time ?
A. intuition
B. knowledge

C. feeling
D. familiarity
28. What one feels about a stranger may be influenced by something that ________
A. strengthen one’s past behaviours
B. reminds one of one’s past treatment
C. revives one’s past memories
D. points to one’s childhood
29. What does the second paragraph discuss ?
A. Meaning of signals one implies toward a stranger
B. Factors that may influence one’s feeling about a stranger
C. Factors that cause people to act differently
D. How people usually behave to a stranger
30. Intuition described in the passage can be explained by means of _________
A. signals
B. languages
C. behaviours
D. styles

to the care of old couple free of charge.
Investigations have shown that parents of many couples don’t mind providing meals and
caring for their
children. However, this practice shouldn’t become an accepted social custom.

our nation is
well – known for its special respect paid to the elderly , but also because the young must
become independent. What young people should do is to become more considerate towards
their old parents.
After years of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration.

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A
wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while
shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the
fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn,
and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real

physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing

so.

READING COMPREHENSION :
Read the following passage carefully then choose the correct anwer :
Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real
than speech.A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to
language.Human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years, but they have been talking
for much longer.When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, albeit
imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we
all learn to talk well before we learn to write. Any human child who is not severely handicapped
physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing
so.
On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and
useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages
with writing sytsems never learn to read or write,while some who learn the rudiments of those
skills do so only imperfectly.
