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 17 to 20.
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where
she doesn’t know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces
herself. And yet she doesn’t seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She
always starts off on something very obvious like the other person’s job. Very soon she’s talking as if
she’s known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most
important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you
allow them to do so, it’s very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to listen very carefully
and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So, don’t keep looking at other things in the
room while you’re talking to someone.
Another thing that I’ve noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your
hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?”
Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.
Question 17: At parties where she does not know anybody, my aunt normally _____.
A. feels embarrassed and stays away from people

B. asks people to introduces themselves to her
C. comes over to the first person and introduces herself
D. sits alone and avoids talking to other people
Question 18: According to the passage, my aunt often starts a conversation by talking about _____.
A. the other person's wealth
C. the other person's health
B. the other person's daily activities
D. the other person's job
Question 19: According to my aunt, the most important thing in a conversation was _____.
A. speaking
B. discussing
C. looking
D. listening
Question 20: What should you NOT do when you have a conversation with someone?
A. Looking at other things in the room.
C. Looking very interested in his or her story.
B. Paying him or her compliments
D. Listening very carefully and asking
questions
BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they
are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to
communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are
culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries.
If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it
to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or
snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in
your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of
your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right

hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom.


In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping,
and in India, whistling in public is considered rude.
In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show
that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means
‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money,
and in the Middle East, it is a rude gesture.

A. may mean different things in different countries

education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or
government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent
may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the
benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of
the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from
other countries have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or
school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most
cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an
