Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to
shareknowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech,
communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent
behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as
dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others,
in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined
throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions 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
nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the
nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not
cease to exist although become entwined in the total communication process.
Question 38: According to the writer, ________.
A. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.
B. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language.
C. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language.
D. People communicate with both verbal and nonverbal language.
Question 39: Which is not included in nonverbal communication?
A. words B. spatial distance C. facial expressions D. tone of voice
Question 40: We can learn from the text that ________.
A. nonverbal can never get any responses B. most people do not like nonverbal communication
C. even silence has message value D. touching is not accepted in communicating
Question 41: Human beings ________.
A. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books
B. can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature
C. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child
D. communicate in nonverbal language much less than they do in verbal language

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
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature,
physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first
awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for
the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges'
decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have
won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
