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 36 to 42.
We can communicate not only through words but also through body language. Body language includes our posture,
facial expressions, and gestures. Because body language is so important, you’ll 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 your 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 is shy. 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.

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 following questions.
Although most universities in the United States are on semester system, which offers classes in the fall and
spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring and summer quarter. The academic
year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each, beginning in September, January, and
March; the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of varying length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who wish to
complete three degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year
round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter,
they may enter at the beginning of any of the other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in
operation year round, the resources are used efficiently to serve the greatest number of students. But there are
several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that the eleven-week term is simply not long enough for
them to cover the material required by most college courses. Students also find it difficult to complete the
assignments in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system, some colleges
and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more
time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides more options for admission
during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early.
43. How many terms are there in a quarter system?
A. 1 regular term and four summer term.
