GESTURES THAT GIVE YOU AWAY<br />
Scratching your nose during a (31) _______interview can have a real impact on your chances<br />

importance of certain gestures and phrases when being interviewed. He says that people who<br />
have a sudden (32) _______in nervous hand-to-face contact, such as nose scratching, are<br />
probably lying. And if they start sentences with phrases like 'to (33) _______the truth' or 'to be<br />
perfectly honest', they are almost certainly lying. Mr Field is convinced that women are more<br />
aware of these (34) _______signals than men because of a difference in brain structure. (35)<br />
_______less than 15 per cent of men are able to read non-verbal signals. If a man is going to lie to<br />
a woman and doesn't want to be caught out, he is better off doing it by fax or phone so she can't<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to<br />
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.<br />
Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact,<br />
the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being<br />
homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and<br />
the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven<br />
percent every year.<br />
At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for<br />
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today,<br />
however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home<br />
due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class<br />
size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that,<br />
in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore,<br />
deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some<br />
parents to remove their children from school.<br />
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has<br />
become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of<br />
websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them<br />
to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled<br />
children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many<br />
believe is failing.<br />
Question 36: The past participle “homeschooled” in the first paragraph is best equivalent to<br />
“_____at home”.<br />
A. taught<br />
B. self-studied<br />
C. untaught<br />
D. self-learned<br />
Question 37: This estimated number was presented by _____.<br />
A. a governmental office<br />
B. school teachers<br />
C. the parents<br />
D. homeschooled children<br />
Question 38: According to some experts, the exact number of homeschooled children in the US in<br />
the last year of the 20th century must be _____.<br />
A. 850,000<br />
B. 1,900,000<br />
C. 1,600,000<br />
D. 1,700,000<br />
Question 39: More parents teach their children because they completely _____ the current<br />
educational system.<br />
A. object to<br />
B. approve of<br />
C. appeal to<br />
D. please with<br />
Question 40: The attitude of the author to wards homeschooling can be best described as _____.<br />
A. remarkable<br />
B. unfavorable<br />
C. acceptable<br />
D. favorable<br />
