Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 31to
35.
One custom that gives insight into people’s history and values is the way they greet one
another. There is a wide range of greetings around the world. These range from the common
handshake to other strange rituals found in some countries. Let’s take a look at how the simple
action of greeting someone differs greatly from place to place.
In the United States and Canada, for example, a simple handshake or nod is the norm. The
handshake has an interesting origin: it started long ago as a way of showing people that you
weren’t carrying a weapon. Shaking the person’s right hand while looking him or her in the eye is
the usual method. Handshakes are also common in other parts of the world, including Britain and
Russia. In Russia, males grasp other men’s hands very strongly during the handshake.
Handshakes are also how most people in New Zealand greet each other. However, the native
Maori people of that country display more physical contact: they press their noses together in a
sign of trust and closeness.
In other countries, such as France and Belgium, hugging and kissing are more common
when two people meet. In those cultures, people kiss each other on the cheeks. The number of
times varies depending on the particular country. In Saudi Arabia, men might hug and kiss each
other (but not a woman) on the cheek. Men will also shake hands with other men there. In some
Eastern countries, including Korea and Japan, bowing is the traditional greeting. In Japan, the
deeper the bow, the deeper the respect shown. The strangest custom, though, is likely in Tibet.
People there opt to stick out their tongue to greet others.
31. What is this reading mainly about?
A. The importance of handshakes all around the world
B. The origins and histories of various greetings
C. The strangest types of greetings on Earth.
D. The wide range of greeting customs in the world
32. Which of the following sentence is TRUE?
A. People in Russia, but not England, shake hands
B. The number of times people kiss on the cheek varies
C. In the past, people nodded if they weren’t carrying a weapon
D. You shouldn’t look at people when shaking their hands in the United States
33. How do most people in New Zealand greet each other?
A. With a handshake
B. By pressing noses together
C. With a kiss on the cheek
D. By sticking cut their tongue
34. Which type of country is NOT mentioned in the reading?
A. A North American country
B. A European country
C. A South American country
D. An Asian country
35. What can be inferred about getting customs in Saudi Arabia?
A. Men shake hands with women when meeting them for the first time
B. It’s not proper for men to kiss women when they meet
C. Women do not kiss other women when they meet
D. Women can kiss men, but men can’t kiss women when they meet.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to
42.
In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all
these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very
funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and
usually has a serious purpose.
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years.
In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda.
Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments
as well as on a variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very
powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States.
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in
the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write.
Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful
in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius,
Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of
cartoons. The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese
sages in a very attractive way.
In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do
not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese
cartoons. This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and
social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and
culture as widely as possible among the people.
Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They
offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the
particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the
old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain,
France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture.
Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West
to the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan,
Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the
East and the West.
Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the
popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One
picture is worth a thousand words.”
