But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses. In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles. It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You'll feel more relaxed if you don't look too different from everyone else. 30. Many British people wear freely when they………… A. attend meetings B. attend lectures C. spend their spare time D. meet their friends 31. Who doesn't usually wear suits and ties? A. Lawyers B. Doctors C. Drivers D. Accountants 32. If you visit an American friend at home in the evening, you may find that your friend wears ………… A. pretty clothes B. informal clothes C. formal clothes D. plain clothes 33. If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests to you is to wear……….. A. strange clothes B. as the people there do C. your native clothes . D. comfortable clothes 34. What do you think the passage is mainly about? A. Recent dressing habit in Great Britain and the United States. B. The reason why informal clothing is popular in the UK and USA. C. When we should wear in a formal way. D. Where we should wear in a formal way. VIII. LISTENING: * Listen to the conversation between Paul and Andrea and then choose the best answer: (1pt) 35. When is Andrea leaving for her home? A. tomorrow B. tomorrow morning C. next month D. tomorrow afternoon 36. Paul’s home is about……………………. from where he is now. A. 118 B. 108 C. 180 D. 810 37.

READING COMPREHENSION PASSAGE 1: Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country. However, this is not necessarily true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country. Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is true. In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare; the Queen, village inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these characters can be found in British culture, they do not show the real interest of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype- that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical.) What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much false would their impression of other culture be! 1. Is it necessarily true when many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country?  .................................................................................................................................................................. 2. Why can books and talks about other people’s culture even be dangerous?  ................................................................................................................................................................. 3. What were the people asked to do in a study recently?  ................................................................................................................................................................ 4. Where can the characters be found?  .................................................................................................................................................. PASSAGE 2 handshake greet wave customary automatically another purpose own other show Today, in many parts of the world, it is (1)……….. for people to shake hands upon meeting as gesture of good will. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had a more practical (2)……….. Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he would often (3)………… reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling around each (4)………, weapons in hand, until it was mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside. Then, the two parties extended their right hands to (5)………..they had no weapons, and clasped them. This was the beginning of the (6)……. The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the Orient, people have, for centuries, clasped their (7)…………..hands in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no weapons. In France, a custom developed in which people who met would kiss each other on both cheeks. The natives of some South Seas islands (8)…………… by rubbing noses. 5
PASSAGE 3 protest for who protect together leader factor death based virtue Respect for parents and ancestors is a key (1)_____ in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese believed that by burning incense, their ancestors could (8)_____ them and their family from danger and harm. PASSAGE 4: Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theatre provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as a waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages. Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based on speech. Radio, television and the telephone are only a few. 1. What does the author say about speech? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. According to the passage, what is the basic function of a signal? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Was applauding cited as an example of a signal? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Why were the telephone, radio and TV invented? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PASSAGE 5 However memory typically receiving customary after be money confusing while Cultural differences may appear even in such simple processes as giving or (1)…….. a gift. In Western cultures, a gift can be handed over to the receiver with relatively little (2)…….. When a gift is offered, the receiver typically takes the gift (3)……. expressing her or his thanks. (4)……., in some Asian cultures, the act of giving is an important aspect of gift-giving, and this process may appear (5)…….. or frustrating to Westerners. In Chinese culture, a receiver will (6)……… refuse to accept the gift at first, with the understanding between the giver and receiver that after being turned down several times, the gift will (7)………. accepted. In addition, to show respect for the receiver, it is (8)…………. in several Asian cultures to use two hands when offering a gift to another person. 6
PASSAGE 6: responsibility single-parent delay outside similar extended survive household rate survive The American family has changed greatly in the last 20 or 30 years. Many of these changes are (1)____ to changess taking place in other countries. Young people do not want to get married or get married early. Women are also waiting longer to have children or even (2)_____ having children. Families have fewer children. Today most families have one or two children. In a traditional family, the wife stayed at home to take care of her children and to do (3)____ chores while the husband was (4)_____ for earning money. Now 60 percent married women work (5)_____ the home. One reason for this change is that women want and expect to have their own jobs. Another reason is economic. With rising prices, many families cannot (6)_____ on one person’s family. The United States has a high divorce (7)_____. It is estimated that one in every three marriages ends in divorce. One result of this high divorce rate is that many American children live in (8)_____ families. Poverty among children in homes headed by single mothers has become a serious problem in the United States. PASSAGE 7: Nonverbal communication, or "body language", is communication by facial expressions, head or eyes movements, hand signals, and body postures. It can be just as important to understand as words are. Misunderstandings- often amusing but sometimes serious- can arise between people from different cultures if they misinterpret nonverbal signals. For example, take the differences in meaning of a gesture which is very common in the United States: a circle made with the thumb and index finger. To an American, it means that everything is OK. To Japanese, it means that you are talking about money. In France, it means that something is worthless. Meanwhile in Greece, it is an obscene gesture. Therefore, an American could unknowingly offend a Greek by using that particular hand signal. 1. What does nonverbal communication consist of? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Are misunderstandings between people from different cultures always serious? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Which gesture mentioned in the passage is very common in USA? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. How could an American unknowingly offend a Greek? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PASSAGE 8 expect appropriate agree anything custom welcoming slap nothing experiencing around Throughout the world there are different ways for people to greet each other. In much of the world, a handshake is the common form of (1)_____ and greeting someone. In many countries (2)_____the Mediterranean Sea a light kiss on the cheek is the (3)_____ way to welcome friends and family It can be a very big surprise if you (4)_____ to shake hands and get a kiss or a hug instead.

In some places people just smile, look at the other’s face and say (7)_____.
