UNIT 1_ HOME LIFE

PRACTICE TEST 1

Read the passage carefully and then choose the item A, B, C or D that best answers the question 
about the passage:

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their children, may be more an American ideal
than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than
we has been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class and religious customs among
different American groups.

The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American 
Families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or
have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American
households are single people, usually women over sixty – five years of age. A small percentage, about 3
percent of the total, consist of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent
are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and
therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationship in family forms other
than the traditional one.

UNIT 3_ WAYS OF SOCIALIZING

PRACTICE TEST 4

I. Read the following passage and choose A, B , C or D to indicate the correct answer for each of the 
questions

Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to
share knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech,
communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.

Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent
behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such
as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people.

Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in
turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.

Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout
a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn
verbal skills.

Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading
nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the
nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not
cease to exist although become entwined in the total communication process.

1. According to the writer, ________.

A. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.

B. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language.
C. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language.

D. People communicate with both verbal and nonverbal language.
2. Which is not included in nonverbal communication?

A. words B. spatial distance C. facial expressions D. tone of voice
3. We can learn from the text that ________.

A. nonverbal can never get any responses

B. most people do not like nonverbal communication

C. even silence has message value

D. touching is not accepted in communicating
4. Human beings ________.

A. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books
B. can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature

C. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child

D. communicate in nonverbal language much less than they do in verbal language

universities, accounting for 11% of the total number of universities. These non-public universities are

What is life like for today’s students? As the university and college terms began, I talked to a few
students about their lives.

Sarah James is a second year biology student. “Money is a big problem”, said Sarah. “I can eat quite
cheaply at the university but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend quite a lot on clothes, as I like to
wear things that are in fashion”.

Colin Peter, who is studying engineering, disagrees. “I don’t spend anything on clothes,” he said,
“unless you count climbing boots. I’m very keen on climbing, and you do need special equipment, some of
which is very expensive. Luckily, my parents gave me money for my birthday in November. Not much of my
money goes on transport, because I have a bicycle.”

Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. “I make all my clothes. This should save me money, but in
fact, the materials are very expensive. I don’t know how I would manage if I didn’t sell some of the dresses
and hats I make to the other students. Everything is expensive”, she said. “That includes the rent, food,
transport and heating for the flat in winter.”

Jack is a science student in his final year. “What do I spend my money on?” Well, not on clothes, and
not a lot on going out in the evening. My rent is expensive, and I suppose I spend quite a lot on books.

Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a
little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really true.
The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as
possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and
the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors
are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your
answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you
have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.

early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and

maintain eye contact; and ask questions

employer within the specified time.

UNIT 8 _LIFE IN THE FUTURE

PRACTICE TEST 11

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 form 1 to 5.

One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are dangerous
or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of paint has a harmful effect on
painters, but it doesn't "bother" a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power plants and in undersea
research stations that might be dangerous for humans. Already, robots are working in the plastics
industry and in chemical and industrial equipment industries. One of the most common uses of
robots is still in automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous work. These
kinds of industrial robots are not usually "mobile". The work they need to do is brought to them, like
cars on an assembly line, for example.

The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s, Japan led the world in robot
production with more than 71,000 industrial robots at work. Both the United States and Japan, as
well as other countries, continue to develop more advanced robots. Robots can now be made to
perform more complex jobs. Robots can make decisions while they are working and learn from their
mistakes. Robots can now see with TV camera "eyes." They can easily hear and can even speak
using a voice made by a computer. But it is difficult to make a robot "understand." Thinking and
understanding are very human qualities. The robots of the future will probably be very complex.
They will be able to perform many humanlike tasks. Robots and other technology will make the
future a very interesting place!

1. We can infer from the passage that by the middle of the 1990s__________________.

A. only Japan had used robots in production

B. Japan and the USA were the only countries to use robots

C. some countries had used robots in industrial production

D. Japan led the world in production thanks to robots
2. Which of the following are robots NOT be able to do?

A. To speak using a voice made by a computer B. To think and understand

C. To make decisions at work D. To learn from mistakes

3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the robots of the future?
A. They will probably be very complicated.

B. They will be able to do humanlike tasks.

C. They will contribute to making the future more interesting.

D. They will replace human workers in all kinds of work.

4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "bother" in the first paragraph? 
A. “cancel” B. “change” C. “upset” D. “terminate”
5 One of the greatest advantages of robots is……….

A. working in dangerous or harmful situation B. working in nuclear power plants
