(3.0 points) 1 A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is 5 pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person’s tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or 1 unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, 0 enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernable by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and/or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of signing, the music, in combination with the performer’s skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication. 1 Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person’s selfimage, perception of others, and 5 emotional health. Selfimage can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener’s receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the 2 speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by 0 constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed. Page 5 of 9

There is now a greater choice of convenience food. G. Some convenience products need careful storage and cooking. H. Convenience food has some advantages. I. Convenience products are claimed to be healthy, but in reality that is not true. CONVENIENCE FOOD 56. _________________ Technological advances have dramatically increased the quality and range of convenience meals that are now available. Vacuumpacked or frozen precooked meals ready for the microwave, packets of soup, cake and sauce mixes, instant mashed potato and frozen peas are just a few of the timesaving foods that many people now rely on. 57. _________________ Although preprepared meals save time, they may not always be as nutritious as those prepared in your own kitchen. This is because each time they are heated they lose some of their vitamins, and many ‘heat andeat’ meals have already been cooked before they are reheated. Convenience food also tends to contain more sugar, salt and fat than most other food. 58. _________________ However, there are a lot of socalled ‘healthy’ meals, usually identified by ‘healthy eating’ symbols or the manufacturer’s own brand name for their lowcalorie products. Some labels mention ‘reduced’ or ‘controlled’ sodium, but these may still contain considerable amounts of salt. 59. _________________ Page 7 of 9
A meal in a packet is a useful standby, especially in families who like to eat different things at different times, and for people who work late. It is often cheaper than a takeaway and a convenient alternative to cooking from scratch. And it saves on washing up. 60. _________________ The ‘healthy’ versions of most preprepared dishes are more expensive than their standard equivalents, but may be a better choice if they are lower in fat. Levels of other ingredients in the standard and ‘healthy’ varieties are usually similar. 61. _________________ Although some readymade foods are sold as ‘complete’ meals, they are rarely a good source of vegetables or starchy foods. It is a good idea, therefore, to add extra vegetables or a salad along with a starchy food, such as brown rice or a whole meal roll. 62. _________________ Despite the fact that food manufacturers and retailers have improved hygiene and food safety at many stages of the food chain, precooked foods found in chill cabinets may still be a source of food poisoning. Consumers should keep and prepare these foods with great care to prevent the spread of bacteria. This means bringing food home as soon as possible after purchase, keeping it in a refrigerator or freezer, following microwave guidelines and making sure food is really hot before eating. 63. _________________ Although many people view additives with suspicion, they have their advantages. Their presence is often vital if food is not to spoil, and many result in better taste, texture or color. All additives are the subject of strict safety checks and allergic reactions are very rare. b. Choose the option A, B, C, or D which you think fits best. 64. What does It in line 13 refer to? A. a cake B. a family C. a packet D. a meal 65. Which of the following is not true about a precooked food? A. It saves time B. It has some advantages C. It needs adding some more salt D.
