infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a more sophisticatedlocation-based services for users The report calls on government to put more effort into the delivery ofservices by mobile phone, with suggestion including public transport and traffic information and doctors’text messages to remind patients of appointments There are many possibilities At a recent trade fair in

Sweden, a mobile navigation product was launched When the user enters a destination, a route is

automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voiced, pictures and maps as they drive Infuture, these devices will also be able to plan around congestion and road works in real time Third

generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors In Britain scientists aredeveloping an asthma management solution using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.

Mobile phones can be used in education A group of teachers in Britain use third generation phones toprovide fast

internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband services and can have noaccess to online information ‘As the new generation of mobile technologies takes off, the socialpotential of the vastly increase,’ the report argues

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

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 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 unsureness 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

speaker's tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible 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 singing, 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

Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health Self-image 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 speaker Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds

of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed

A The function of the voice in performance B The production of speech

Câu 32: What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" (lines 7-8)?
