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 following questions.
It's in Your Genes
Every human being has about 25,000 genes. Your genes are part of your DNA. They give
your body instructions on how to develop. For example, if your genes tell your body to build
long, thin fingers, then you will have long, thin fingers.
Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you. They decide your
hair colour, your eye colour, your height, and so on. Genes are still a bit of a mystery to
scientists, but they are learning new things about them all the time.
One issue that people often debate is this: Do our genes influence our personalities? These
days, most people agree that the answer to this question is yes. Recent studies have shown that
genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose. Your sense of purpose is


your desire to have goals in your life. If a person really wants to accomplish something and do
well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose. A person who does not care about goals has no
sense of purpose.
Although scientists agree that our genes influence our personalities, there is another question.
How much do they influence us? Can we control ourselves, or do our genes control us? People
everywhere are still debating this issue. So far, we don’t really have an answer.
Genes also affect your health. If a gene has a problem, it is called a mutated gene. Some
mutated genes can cause diseases. That is why if a person has a certain health problem, his or her
child is more likely to have that same problem. The child also has the mutated gene.
As scientists and doctors learn more about genes, they are also developing a new kind of
medicine: gene therapy. Therapy is help for a mental or a physical problem. Gene therapy means
fixing or replacing mutated genes. Scientists are still experimenting on gene therapy. It is
possible that in the future, gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are
caused by mutated genes.
Question 33. What does the passage say about genes and personality?
A. We still don’t know how much genes affect personality.

B. We know that genes control our personality completely.
C. We know that genes don’t affect our personality at all.
D. Nobody has studied the effects of genes on personality.
Question 34. The word “mutated” in paragraph 5 refer to _______
A. differently changed
B. developed quickly
C. self-controlled
D. hereditary
Question 35. Which of the following is NOT influenced by genes?
A. Parts of our body. B. Personalities. C. Sense of purpose D. Gene therapy
Question 36. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to _______
A. scientists
B. parents
C. genes
D. mysteries
Question 37. What might a person with a strong of purpose do?
A. Stay at home and watch TV all day.
B. Spend a lot of time having fun with friends.
C. Do well in school and try to get a very good job.
D. Stay at home and read books all day.
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 following questions.
Non-verbal communication is a wordless form of communication. It is mainly a silent form
of communication that does not involve speech or words. Non-verbal communication is done
through eye contact, hand movement, touch, facial expressions, bodily postures and non-lexical
components, etc. At times, silence is said to the best form of non-verbal communication.
One example of non-verbal communication is dancing. When we dance, we can express so
many different emotions. From passion to religious devotion, dancing either alone, with another
person as part of a couple or in a synchronized group, can communicate so much. Dancing is
something that many of us engage in from childhood and it becomes an important way of

socializing and expressing ourselves at the same time.
Body language including bodily movement and postures is a language all of its own. Our
posture, and the way that we lean forward or back or cross or uncross our legs can speak
volumes about us. Very often, we are not even aware that we are communication our thoughts


via our body language. That is the reason why, in job interviews and other situations in which we
are under scrutiny, it is a good idea to pay attention to our body language. For example, leaning
forward can be a sign of positivity, whilst sitting with our arms folded can make us look closed
off – as if we have something to hide.
What we wear can often communicate things. For example, if we dress up in academic
robes, it is clear that we want to communicate to everyone who sees us that we have attained a
certain level of academic achievement. We should never judge people by what they wear –
however, some types of official garments (such as a judge’s wig, a scholar’s gown or a soldier’s
medal) are designed to communicate something about the wearer.
Silence is also a type of non-verbal communication. Sometimes, staying silent can
communicate much more than words can. Silence can be powerful, sad, happy or it can simply
communicate to other people that we do not want to engage with them. Good communicators are
able to listen, and to use comfortable silences, to connect with other people. There is no need to
think that communication is all about words!
Effective communication, as is abundantly clear from the discussion above, involves not
just listening to other people’s words and expressing ourselves in words. It also means picking
up on other people’s non-verbal cues. Why not go through the list above and think about which
forms of non-verbal communication you are adept at understanding. Are there any ways in which
you might improve your non-verbal communication skills? We could all benefit from a little
improvement in this area, as it enables us to enjoy deeper and more meaningful connections with
other people.
