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 non-verbal.
Non-verbal 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, non-verbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a
person's lifetime.Children first learn non-verbal 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 non-verbal
cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the non-verbal to
communicate. As children develop verbal skills, non-verbal channels of communication do not cease to exist
although they become entwined in the total communication process.
Q36: 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.
Q37: Which is not included in nonverbal communication?
A. words B. spatial distance C. facial expressions D. tone of voice
Q38: 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
Q39: 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
Q40: The word reading has a close meaning to ________.
A. looking at the words that are written B. understanding
C. saying something aloud D. expressing

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
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.

questions from 36 to 40.
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.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the job. Your
application or your résumé has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to show how your skills
and experience match this position and this company. The employer will be looking and listening to determine if you
are a good fit. He/ she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To
make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths; arrive 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.
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest and how you
can benefit the company. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back from the employer
within the specified time.
36. The pronoun it refers to ___________ .

Read the passage and choose the correct answer

In the United States and Canada, it is very important to look a person directly in the eyes when you are having a
conversation with him or her. If you look down or to the side when the other person is talking, that person will think
that you are not interested in what he or she is saying. This, of course, is not polite. If you look down or to the side
when you are talking, you may appear to be hiding something; that is, it might seem that you are not honest.
However, people who are speaking will sometimes look away for a few seconds when they are thinking or trying to
find the right word. But they always turn immediately back to look the listener directly in the eyes. These social
“rules” are the same for two men, two women, a man and a woman, or an adult and a child.
