Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and face are the
most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control. It is estimated that there are
over 200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person. For example, there are 23
distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures.
Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked. Because such avenues of
communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence
of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed with
friends or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates status or liking of the
other individual. More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or
reject the spoken word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other,
some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate.

Read the text and answer the questions given by choosing one numbered options.
Alzheimer's disease impairs a person's ability to recall memories, both distant and as recent as a few
hours before. Although there is not yet a cure for the illness, there may be hope for a cure with a protein
called nerve growth factor. The protein is produced by nerve cells in the same region of the brain where
Alzheimer's occurs. Based on this relationship, scientists from the University of Lund in Sweden and the
University of California at San Diego designed an experiment to test whether doses of nerve growth factor
could reverse the effects of memory loss caused by Alzheimer's. Using a group of rats with impaired
memory, the scientists gave half of the rats doses of nerve growth factor while giving the other half a blood
protein as a placebo, thus creating a control group. At the end of the four-week test, the rats given the nerve
growth factor performed equally to rats with normal memory abilities. While the experiments do not show
that nerve growth factor can stop the general process of deterioration caused by Alzheimer's, they do show
potential as a means to slowing the process significantly.
