Passage 3: Read the passages carefully, then choose the best option
Greetings in all languages have the same purpose: to establish contact with another person, to

recognize his or her existence and to show friendliness. The formulas for greeting are very specific
and usually do not carry any literal meaning people say “ Good morning “even if it is a miserable day
and may reply to “How are you?” with “Fine, thanks” even if they aren’t feeling well.
Closings, like greetings are commonly used to exchange with no literal meaning. People who are
leaving each other permanently or for a long time shake hands or embrace, depending on the
relationship. If you are in an unfamiliar situation and wonder what to do, watch other people or ask.
It is interesting, and sometimes very important to learn about the standards of courtesy in different
cultural areas of the world so that we can practice them well and avoid awkwardness in case we get
a chance to visit a person or a community of unfamiliar social customs.

Passage 1: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.

Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture.
Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals.
Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and
parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture affects
the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a couple
have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way parents raise
children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural contexts, and how
they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and family life affect
people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and sustain happy marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural
background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the
different habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are all
very exciting indeed. What are the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship
with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your
husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural

Passage 2: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They
find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In
marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and
dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the
same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the
case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much
more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an
opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can
be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to
understand your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television
and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have
grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often
played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to
understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty
because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that
your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's
famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much
more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can

understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her
feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her
questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The
Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her
listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her
understand you better through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight

If you invite an American friend to join you to have dinner in a restaurant, phone the restaurant first
to find out if you need a reservation to avoid a long wait for table. To make a reservation, just give
your name, the number of people in your group, and the time you plan to arrive. When you invite
someone to have dinner, you should be prepared to pay the bill and reach for it when it arrives.
However, if your companion insists on playing his or her share, do not get into argument about it.
Some people prefer to pay their own way so that they do not feel indebted, and those feelings
should be respected. In most American restaurants, the waiter or waitress's tip is not added to the
bill. If the service was adequate, it is customary to leave a tip equal to about 15% of the bill. In

If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for polite
behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time but not early. Americans expect promptness. It
will be all right to be 10 or 15 minutes late, but not 45 minutes late. When you are invited to
someone’s home for meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers and candy are always appropriate.
If you have something attractive made in your country, your host or hostess will certainly enjoy
receiving that gift. What will you do if you are served some food that you cannot eat or you do not
like? Do not make a fuss about it. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one noticed it. Be sure
to compliment the cook on the food that you are enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but
do not over-stay your welcome, either. The next day, call or write a thank- you note to say how much
you enjoyed the evening.

Passage 7: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
Body postures and movements are frequently indicators of self-confidence, energy, fatigue, or
status. Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict, or replace verbal messages. Gestures also
serve an important function with regard to regulating the flow of conversation. For example, if a
student is talking about something in front of the class, single nods of the head from the teacher will
likely cause that student to continue and perhaps more elaborate. Postures as well as gestures are
used to indicate attitudes, status, affective moods, approval, deception, warmth, arid other variables
related to conversation interaction.
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" well describes the meaning of facial expressions.
Facial appearance - including wrinkles, muscle tone, skin coloration, and eye color-offers enduring
cues that reveille information about age, sex, race, ethnic origin, and status.
A less permanent second set of facial cues-including length of hair, hairstyle, cleanliness, and facial
hair-relate to an individual's idea of beauty. A third group of facial markers are momentary
expressions that signal that cause changes in the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, nose, lips,
and chin, such as raising the eyebrows, wrinkling the brow, curling the lip.
Some facial expressions are readily visible, while others are fleeting. Both types can positively or

negatively reinforce the spoken words and convey cues concerning emotions and attitudes.
According to the writer, "A picture is worth a thousand words" means ………

When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They
find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In
marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and
dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the
same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the
case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much
more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an
opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can
be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to
understand your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television
and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have
grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often
played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to
understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty

because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that
your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's
famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much
more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can
understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her
feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her
questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The
Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her
listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her
understand you better through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight
cultural differences.

Passage 3: Read the passages carefully, then choose the best option
Greetings in all languages have the same purpose: to establish contact with another person, to
recognize his or her existence and to show friendliness. The formulas for greeting are very specific
and usually do not carry any literal meaning people say “ Good morning “even if it is a miserable day
and may reply to “How are you?” with “Fine, thanks” even if they aren’t feeling well.
Closings, like greetings are commonly used to exchange with no literal meaning. People who are
leaving each other permanently or for a long time shake hands or embrace, depending on the
relationship. If you are in an unfamiliar situation and wonder what to do, watch other people or ask.


It is interesting, and sometimes very important to learn about the standards of courtesy in different
cultural areas of the world so that we can practice them well and avoid awkwardness in case we get
a chance to visit a person or a community of unfamiliar social customs.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a purpose of greetings?

Passage 5: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
If you invite an American friend to join you to have dinner in a restaurant, phone the restaurant first
to find out if you need a reservation to avoid a long wait for table. To make a reservation, just give
your name, the number of people in your group, and the time you plan to arrive. When you invite
someone to have dinner, you should be prepared to pay the bill and reach for it when it arrives.
However, if your companion insists on playing his or her share, do not get into argument about it.
Some people prefer to pay their own way so that they do not feel indebted, and those feelings
should be respected. In most American restaurants, the waiter or waitress's tip is not added to the
bill. If the service was adequate, it is customary to leave a tip equal to about 15% of the bill. In
expensive restaurants, leave a bit more.

Passage 6: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for polite
behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time but not early. Americans expect promptness. It
will be all right to be 10 or 15 minutes late, but not 45 minutes late. When you are invited to
someone’s home for meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers and candy are always appropriate.
If you have something attractive made in your country, your host or hostess will certainly enjoy
receiving that gift. What will you do if you are served some food that you cannot eat or you do not
like? Do not make a fuss about it. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one noticed it. Be sure
to compliment the cook on the food that you are enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but
do not over-stay your welcome, either. The next day, call or write a thank- you note to say how much
you enjoyed the evening.
If there is some food that you cannot eat, …
