The idea that trillions of bacteria are swarming over your skin

something functional, but the fact is that they are an essential part of life on earth. Just as humans cannot live without
carbon, nitrogen, protection from disease and the ability to
fully digest their food, they cannot live without bacteria, said

When language becomes a topic of a conversation, most
people would consider languages such as English, Spanish
or Turkish. But, does language merely comprise the spoken form? Of course not, language is a generic term that
refers to the way people pass on information in any way,
as do animals and insects. In practice we have a phenomenon called the non-verbal or the body language, which
refers to the process of communication through sending and
receiving wordless -mostly visual - cues between people. By

49.

The writer is of the opinion that -----.

A) the origins of language is a matter that has been

shrouded in mystery

B) the non-verbal signs of a language cannot be

understood by infants

C) visual cues are rarely manifested when implying

a hidden message

D) the correlation between the non-verbal and the

verbal language are always in harmony

E) most of us may not be aware of the fact that

language includes a non-verbal form

50.

We can gather from the passage that the

non-verbal body signs are crucial in that ---.

conveying the actual attitude of the speaker

B) they cannot be observed by other participants of

a conversation

C) languages such as English and Turkish depend

on them to a large extent

D) they may provide a better understanding about

the insects and animals way of interaction

E) they foster cognitive skills of people and enable

them to master any language better

developing your awareness of the signs and signals of body

language, you can more easily understand other people,
and more efficiently converse with them. There are times
when we send mixed messages we say one thing yet our
body language reveals something different. This non-verbal
language will affect how we act and react to others, and how
they react to us. In the course of maturity, every one of us
learns the body signals that are sent by the correspondent
and without mastering them no conversation will be effective.

47.

It is maintained in the passage that the

non-verbal language ---.

A) is the core of topic when it comes to determining

what language is

B) and its use are innate capabilities that we are

born with

C) may sometimes leak the true intent of a speaker

more than the spoken one

D) and the body language do not always stand for

the same thing

E) is a straightforward way of conveying meaning

over another

48.

It can be inferred from the passage that ---.

A) the attribution of body language is not merely

confined to humans

B) without the body language, there can be no

conversation between two people

C) facial expressions are the most crucial forms of

the non-verbal language

The West is blinking in disbelief as Vladimir Putin has just
invaded Ukraine. German diplomats, French Eurocrats
and American pundits are all stunned, and they must really
wonder why Russia has chosen to gamble its trillion-dollar
ties with the West. It seems that Russia thinks the West is
no longer a crusading alliance, even it is now all about the
money. Russias rulers have been buying up Europe for
years. And their money is squirrelled away in Austrian banks
and British tax havens. Putins inner circle no longer fears

Putin fearless is that----.

A) he is now more familiar with the European world

Ukraine

C) German diplomats, French Eurocrats and Ameri

offshore

D) European governments comply with the laws

more concerned about making money than
standing up to him

The passage mainly deals with ----.

A) what the West is most afraid of when it comes to

the Russian affairs

the European establishment now that he knows them all better. They have seen firsthand how Western aristocrats and
corporate tycoons suddenly turn when their billions come
into play. Russians now view them as hypocrites, who are
the same European elites ironically helping them hide their
fortunes. Behind European corruption, Russia sees American weakness, and they see Americas control over Europe
slowly dissolving. Europe is really run by an elite group with
the morality of the hedge fund: Make money at all costs and
move it offshore.

In the paragraph, the writer suggests that with

Russias invasion of Ukraine ----.

A) the West is worried that Russian money might

be withdrawn back

B) there is nothing more than a faulty move on the

Chinas economy has developed significantly in the last three
decades, lifting millions of people out of poverty and
improving their health. One of the consequences of the
countrys economic progress has been an increase in life
expectancy at birth from 69 years in 1990 to nearly 75 years
in 2010. Also decreases in the infant mortality rate have
been notable, which declined from 37 per 1,000 live births in
1990 to 17 in 2009, and the under-five mortality rate, which
declined from 46 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 19 in 2010.
Despite this progress, however, many health issues remain
unresolved. While the wealthier portion of the Chinese
population has benefited from advanced health technologies,
many among the poor do not have adequate access to even
the most essential services. It is estimated that
approximately 80% of the health and medical care services
are concentrated in cities, while timely medical care is not

----. For example, elephants are known as

eco system engineers for their tendency to
push over trees and stomp shrubby areas in
the savannah into submission. This keeps
forests at bay, which otherwise would
overtake open grasslands. Wolves, on the other
hand, are apex predators. They keep other
species like deer in check, preventing herbivore
populations from getting out of hand and eating
all the plants into oblivion. Both elephants and
wolves are keystone species, or ones that have
a relatively large impact on their environment in
relation to their actual population numbers.

A study of the evolution of our teeth reveals

that humans today have less diverse oral
bacteria than historic populations, which
scientists believe have contributed to
chronic oral diseases in post-industrial
lifestyles. The study claims that analyzing the

consequences of the evolving diet and
behavior. There were negative changes in oral
bacteria as our diets altered when we moved
from being hunter-gatherers to farmers.----.

something to do with the tooth decays in
