On December 10, 2006, I was going through some hard time. The landlady did not want to release the

coming and it was difficult for me to find a suitable accommodation. I had only some money left. I could
not buy a Christmas tree and some presents for my three boys (2) . I had to use the money to…………
find a place to live. To me, it broke my heart as I could not prepare the Christmas for my three boys. I
have been their only parent since my husband (3) . away two years ago. I was so sad and…………
everything was getting on my nerves. Although I managed to solve the problem myself, I could not help
telling my sons about the things. When I suddenly woke up at midnight, I found my eldest son was sitting
by me. He kissed me and said: "Don't worry, Mum. We love you very much and always stand by you
whatever happens". At the moment I started weeping, grabbed him and kissed him. His words and love
made me (4) .all about what I was stressing about.…………
In fact ever since that moment, I have realized that I can overcome any problems thanks to my sons'
love. The most important thing of my life is that my boys are safe and healthy, and they bring me joy all

2/ Read the following passage and choose the best option to each sentence (1.25p):
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 vividly through body movements and postures. Body
movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked. Because such avenues of
mark
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.
* Which part of body is not used to send body message?
A. faces B. legs C. hands D. stomachs
* Face gestures ........................................
A. can help us control our feelings
B. are the most difficult to control
C. cannot express our feelings
