Passage 1.
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 forms 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 whole words are very picturesque and exact
and can be used internationally; spelling, however, can not.
Body language transmits ideas or thought 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 signal flags, Morse code and
smoke signals. Road maps and picture sign 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

picturesque (a)= beautiful
Oral (a) = spoken

Passage 2
Man discovered fire many thousands of years ago. The first time he saw fire was probable
when a tree was struck by lighting. He soon learned how to make fire for himself. However man
probably made his first fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to
cook his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some part of the world he
used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In some
other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.
Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, men used burning sticks
as torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from
posts to light the streets.
One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that
took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the
candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the
candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned
too quickly.
