The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples
spend more on clothing and furnishing and less on food If this trend continues,
many young couples might take these privileges for granted and become moredependent
It is not the right for young peoples to make the use of the old couples’ love,not only because our nation is well – known for its special respect paid to the

I Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below:
Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages thatenables humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills Although we usuallyidentify communication with speech, communication is composed of twodimensions: verbal and non-verbal
Non-verbal communication has been defined as communication without words
It includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone ofvoice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distancebetween two or more people
Trang 11Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influenceothers and these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they arecommunicating.
Commonly, non-verbal communication is learned shortly after birth andpracticed and refined throughout a person's lifetime Children first learn non-verbalexpressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more
adept at reading non-verbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal
skills and their recent reliance on the non-verbal to communicate As childrendevelop verbal skills, non-verbal channels of communication do not cease to existalthough they become entwined in the total communication process
31 The word reading has a close meaning to .
A looking at the words that are writtenB understanding
C saying something aloud D expressing
32 Which is not included in non-verbal communication?
A spatial distance B tone of voice C words D facial expressions
33 According to the writer,
A One cannot communicate in both verbal and non-verbal language.
B People communicate with both verbal and non-verbal language.
C Those who can listen and talk should not use non-verbal language.

34 Human beings
A have learnt how to communicate in non-verbal language through books
B can communicate in non-verbal language only when they are mature
C have learnt how to communicate in non-verbal language since a child
D communicate in non-verbal language much less than they do in verbal language
35 We can learn from the text that
A most people do not like non-verbal communication
B even silence has message value
C non-verbal can never get any responses
D touching is not accepted in communicating
