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.

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

raising the eyebrows, wrinkling the brow, curling the lip.

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.

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 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 cultural differences.

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 cultural differences.

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 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 hairrelate 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.
How many categories of facial expressions are mentioned?

Passage 12: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children. But this is not
the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has many other members.
This kind of large family is called an "extended family" or a "joint family".
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother's or the father's side of the family. It is
made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They live together in a
large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to survive. The
members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect themselves from
dangerous animals and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his parents' home.
Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children felt very loyal to their
parents. Younger members of the joint families always took care of the old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family share their
earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the others help the
person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help and protection.

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

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 accredited American school and
being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a

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

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 hairrelate 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 ………

Passage 9: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages were
generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In
the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their
engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based on
love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions.
Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding
continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western

and eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which
takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the
date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller. The traditional
Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask
permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor
ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor
ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of guests in
attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests
are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go
from table to table collecting.
In former days, the fact that a bride and groom had only first met just on the day of their engagement or
marriage was ………..

Passage 12: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children. But this is not
the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has many other members.
This kind of large family is called an "extended family" or a "joint family".
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother's or the father's side of the family. It is
made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They live together in a
large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to survive. The
members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect themselves from
dangerous animals and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his parents' home.
Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children felt very loyal to their
parents. Younger members of the joint families always took care of the old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family share their
earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the others help the
person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help and protection.
Long time ago, members of joint families ………..

Passage 14: Read the following passages and choose the best option
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary
education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or

24


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 accredited American school and
being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a
thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp
of the American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic
choices. It is no surprise that the American education system and the American school system host more
international students than any other country in the world!
According to the text, students in the USA …………
