III. Read the following passage and choose A,B,C or D to answer the following questions.

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.

Generally,  this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a
language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of the whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.

Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warm, and instruct people.

While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication

B. Everybody uses only one form of communication

C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners

D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest

A. There are many forms of communication in existence today B. Verbalization is the most common form of communication C. The deaf and mute can use an oral form of communication D. Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language

69. Which form other than oral speech would be the most commonly used among blind people? A. Picture signs    B. Braille         C. Body language       D. Signal flags

70. Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally EXCEPT for

            _.

A. spelling       B. ideas           C. whole words           D. expressions

Question VI

            I live in the small village calls Henfield. There are about 700 men here. The village is quiet and the life is slowly and easy. We never had to queue in shops or bank. People never throw his rubbish on the roads, but the village is always clean. The air is also very clean because of there is not much traffic. The people here are much friendlier than those in a city. If someone has a problem, there is always people who can help. However, one thing I don't like about Henfield is that there's not much to do in the evening. We haven't got any cinemas or theaters. But I still prefer village life for life in a big city.
