III. Read the following passage and choose A,B,C or D to answer the following questions .
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral
speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in
which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort
to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of the whole words are very picturesque and exact
and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.

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,
warm, and instruct people.
While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express
human thoughts and feelings.
66. Which of the following best summarizes this passage?
A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication
B. Everybody uses only one form of communication
C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners
D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest
67. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to ________
A. tourist B. the deaf and the mute
C. thoughts and feelings D. sign language motions
68. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ________
A. There are many forms of communication in existence today
B. Verbalization is the most common form of communication
C. The deaf and mute can use an oral form of communication
D. Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language.
69. Which form other than oral speech would be the most commonly used among blind people?
A. Picture signs B. Braille C. Body language D. Signal flags
