nication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share knowledge,<br />
attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is composed<br />
of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.<br />
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent<br />
behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as<br />
dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people.<br />
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in<br />
turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.<br />
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout<br />
a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn<br />
verbal skills.<br />
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading<br />
nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the<br />
nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do not<br />
cease to exist but they become entwined in the total communication process.<br />
Câu 37: . According to the writer, ________.<br />
A. One cannot communicate in both verbal and nonverbal language.<br />
B. People communicate with both verbal and nonverbal language.<br />
C. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language.<br />
D. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.<br />
Câu 38: Which is NOT included in nonverbal communication?<br />
A. tone of voice<br />
B. spatial distance<br />
C. words<br />
D. facial expressions<br />
Câu 39: Human beings ________.<br />
A. can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature<br />
B. communicate in nonverbal language much less than they do in verbal language<br />
C. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books<br />
D. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child<br />
Câu 40: The word reading has a close meaning to ________.<br />
A. expressing<br />
B. looking at the words that are written<br />
C. saying something aloud<br />
D. understanding<br />
Câu 41: The word imitating has a close meaning to ________.<br />

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the<br />
questions from 43 to 50 .<br />
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary<br />
education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or<br />
government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may<br />
also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the<br />
American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive<br />
facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced<br />
the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and<br />
industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's<br />
best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of<br />
the American education system is an investment in your future.<br />
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a<br />
thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of<br />

international students than any other country in the world!<br />
