Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication<br /> is composed 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 /> 2<br /> <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 nonverbal<br /> to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do not cease to<br /> exist although become entwined in the total communication process.<br /> Question 20: The word “they” in line 10 refer to……………<br /> A. verbal skills<br /> <br /> B. nonverbal expressions<br /> <br /> C.

Marriages were<br /> generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In<br /> the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement<br /> or marriage.<br /> In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based on<br /> love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.<br /> The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions.<br /> Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding<br /> continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and<br /> eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place<br /> usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of<br /> the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding<br /> consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride,<br /> the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is<br /> to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family,<br /> then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in<br /> the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the<br /> groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting.<br /> Question 37: Which does not exist in a Vietnamese wedding party?<br /> A. firecrackers<br /> <br /> B. guests<br /> <br /> C. dishes<br /> <br /> D. gifts<br /> <br /> Question 38: The word “elements” in line 13 in the passage is closet in meaning to ______<br /> A. factors<br /> <br /> B. numbers<br /> <br /> C. opinions<br /> <br /> D. ways<br /> <br /> Question 39: In modern times, people can choose for themselves ______to maintain a happy marriage.<br /> A. friends<br /> <br /> B. partners<br /> <br /> C. teachers<br /> <br /> D. guests<br /> <br /> Question 40: In the past, ______.<br /> A.
