Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Educating children at home as an alternative to formal education is an option chosen
by families in many parts of the world. The homeschooling movement is popular in the
United States, where close to one million children are educated at home. In Canada 1
percent of school-age children are homeschooled, and the idea also enjoys growing
popularity in Australia, where 20,000 families homeschool their children. The movement
is not limited to these countries. Homeschooling families can be found all over the
world, from Japan to Taiwan to Argentina to South Africa.

Homeschooling is not a novel idea. In fact, the idea of sending children to spend
most of their day away from home at a formal school is a relatively new custom. In the
United States, for example, it was not until the latter part of the nineteenth century that
state governments began making school attendance compulsory. Before that, the concept
of a formal education was not so widespread. Children learned the skills they would
need for adult life at home from tutors or their parents, through formal instruction or by
working side by side with the adults of the family.

their only option. Children who have exceptional talents in the arts or other areas may be
homeschooled so that they have more time to devote to their special interests. Much of
the homeschooling movement is made up of families who, for various reasons, are
dissatisfied with the schools available to them. They may have a differing educational
philosophy, they may be concerned about the safety of the school environment, or they

may feel that the local schools cannot adequately address their children's educational
needs. Although most families continue to choose a traditional classroom education for

popular.

Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the
various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is
important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for
example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or
teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly
at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect.

Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture,
is distance. In North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in
South America. Two North Americans who don't know each other well will keep a
distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will
stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only
if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them.

Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow,
wave an arm – or move any other part of the body – to show what we want to say.
However, this does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to
express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures can communicate
different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be

misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a

mistake, but in some places it communicates ridicule.

The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not
enough to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal
signals if you want to communicate successfully.

Question 20: What is the passage mainly about?

A. Non-verbal communication across cultures
B. Misunderstandings in communication

C. Interpretations of gestures in different cultures
D. The significance of non-verbal signals in America

_________.

A. mispronounced B. misbehaved C. misspelled D. misunderstood

Question 23: As stated in the passage, in order to communicate successfully with people

from another

culture, it is advisable for a person __________.

A. to use the body language of the people from that culture

B. to learn both the language and non-verbal signals of that culture
C. to learn only non-verbal signals of that culture

D. to travel to as many countries as possible

Question 24: Which form of body language is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. distance B. posture C. gesture D. eye movement
