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.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral
speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language
in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to
resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and
exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod
signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of
nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips),
signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and
instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques
also express human thoughts and feelings.

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.
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 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.

school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential.
