Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by circling its corresponding
letter marked A, B, C, or D.

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 signal 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 others, 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 feeling 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.
Question 26. What does the word “open” in the passage most closely mean?
A. unrestrained
B. relaxed
C. confined
D. unlimited
Question 27. What influences your impression of a person you meet the first time?
A. intuition
B. familiarity
C. knowledge
D. feeling
Question 28. What one fells about a stranger may be influenced by something that___________.
A. strengthens one’s past behaviors B. reminds one of one’s past treatment
C. revives one’s past memories
D. points to one’s childhoods
Question 29. What does the second paragraph discuss?
A. Meanings of signal some implies towards a stranger
C. How people usually behave to a stranger.
B. Factors that may influence one’s feelings about a stranger.
D. Factors that cause people to act differently.

Question 30. Intuition described in the passage can be explained by means of___________.
A. styles
B. languages
C. patterns
D. behaviors
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and

offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or
typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate
over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and
transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are
approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend
does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable
Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part
of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force
scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not
yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.

A. Fewer than estimated in USA Today.
B. Fewer than last year.
C. More than predicted in Business Week. D. More than 8 million.
Question 41: The phrase “of no consequence” in the first paragraph means_________.
A. unimportant
B. of no good
C. of no use
D. irrelevant
Question 42: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting,
EXCEPT________.
A. The work place is in the home.
B. the different system of supervision.
C. the opportunities for advancement.

D. the lack of interaction with a group.

A. employees
B. most people
