Courses with the numbers<br /> 800 or above are open only to graduate students. Certain graduate courses, generally those<br /> devoted to introductory material, are numbered 400 for undergraduate students who qualify to<br /> take them and 600 for graduate students. Courses designed for students seeking a professional<br /> degree carry a 500 number for undergraduate students and a 700 number for graduate students.<br /> Courses numbered 99 or below are special interest courses that do not carry academic credit. If<br /> students elect to take a special interest course, it will not count toward the number of hours<br /> needed to complete graduation requirements.<br /> Full-time undergraduate student is expected to take courses that total twelve to eighteen<br /> credit hours.

A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone<br /> of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the<br /> language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and<br /> finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's<br /> tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone<br /> may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the<br /> participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy,<br /> lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually<br /> discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is<br /> highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The<br /> motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the<br /> performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of<br /> artistic, political, or pedagogic communication.<br /> Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and<br /> emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious,<br /> shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound<br /> may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind<br /> an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or<br /> sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by<br /> encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free<br /> and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and<br /> lethargic qualities of the depressed.<br /> Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?<br /> A. The function of the voice in performance<br /> B. Communication styles<br /> C. The connection between voice and personality<br /> D. The production of speech<br /> Question 44: What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may<br /> reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" in lines 8- 9?<br /> A. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are.<br /> B. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words.<br /> C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.<br /> D. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas.<br /> Question 45: The word "Here" in line 9 refers to _____ .<br /> A. interpersonal interactions<br /> B. the tone<br /> C. ideas and feelings<br /> D. words chosen<br /> Question 46: The word "derived" in line 13 is closest in meaning to _____ .<br /> A. discussed<br /> B. prepared<br /> C. registered<br /> D. obtained<br /> Question 47: Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" in<br /> line 14-15?<br /> A.
