We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to<br /> communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally<br /> specific and may mean different things in different countries.<br /> If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to<br /> say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your<br /> fingers at someone is very rude.<br /> In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in<br /> your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your<br /> feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because<br /> they use their left hands when going to the bathroom.<br /> In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and<br /> in India, whistling in public is considered rude.<br /> In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that<br /> you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means ‘everything is good’<br /> in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is<br /> a rude gesture.<br /> Câu 6: The word “others” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.<br /> A. other soles<br /> B. other shoes<br /> C. other people<br /> Câu 7: People nod their head to say no in ______.<br /> A.

Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a<br /> “housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the<br /> family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much<br /> housework. And he did not see the children very much , except on weekends .<br /> These days, however, more and more women work outside the home . They cannot stay with the<br /> children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening<br /> cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is<br /> going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?<br /> Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and<br /> wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the<br /> husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some<br /> nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.<br /> Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from<br /> grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are too far<br /> away to help in a regular way.<br /> More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care<br /> center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that<br /> pay well.<br /> Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let<br /> people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some<br /> husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word:<br /> They are called “househusbands”. In the United States more and more men are becoming househusbands<br /> every year .<br /> These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their<br /> children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find<br /> changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.<br /> Câu 13: What is paragraph 3 about?<br /> A. doing jobs around the house<br /> B. cooking the dinners<br /> C. sharing the housework<br /> D. doing the laundry<br /> Trang 2/5 - Mã đề thi 485<br /> <br /> Câu 14: Which is TRUE about the change in family life in the United States?<br /> A.
