To attract someone’s attention so that we (23)…… speak to that person, we can use either verbal or non-verbal forms of communication Let us look at non-verbal communication in English Probably the (32)…… common way of attracting someone’s attention is by waving For example, if we are at a noisy party and see a friend come in the door about 20 metres away, we might raise our hand and wave to her as a signal that we see her.
But how hard can we wave in a situation like this? Suppose you are (33)… … the airport, and you see your brother get off the plane and begin walking toward you If you are excited, you might jump up and down and wave as hard
as you can …(34)…… his attention This is the instance where big, obvious non-verbal signals are appropriate There are, however, some social situations where smaller non-verbal signals are more appropriate In a restaurant, for example, if we want to attract the (35)………….of our waiter, we have several choices We can wait until he passes near us, catch his eye, and nod slightly to let him know we would like him to come to our table Or we can raise our hand slightly to show that we need assistance We do not whistle or clap our hands to get the person’s attention That is considered impolite and even rude.

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 numbered blanks from 43 to 50.
The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms’ bodies that are used grown larger.
Those parts that are not tend to wither away It is an observed fact that when you exercise particular muscles, they grow.
Those that are never used diminish By examining a man's body, we can tell which muscles he uses and which he doesn't We may even be able to guess his profession or his reaction Enthusiasts of the "body- building" cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to "build" their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture, into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture Muscles are not the only parts of the body that respond to use in this kind of way Walk barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles It is easy to tell a farmer from a bank teller by looking at their hands alone The
farmer's hands are horny, hardened by long exposure to rough work The teller's hands are relatively soft.
The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their world, progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world Humans, through direct exposure to sunlight, or lack of it, develop
a skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular local conditions.
Too much sunlight is dangerous Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are susceptible to skin cancer Too little
sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and rickets The brown pigment melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen to protect the underlying tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight If a suntanned person moves to a less sunny climate, the melanin disappears, and the body is able to benefit from what little sun there is This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use and disuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades
to white when it is not.
Question 28:What does the passage mainly discuss?
A How the principles of use and disuse change people's concepts of themselves.
B The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse.
C The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion.
D The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.

A appear like sculptures B change their appearance
C belong to strange cults D are very fashionable
