Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are
many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and
gestures may be found in every known culture. The main function of a signal is to
impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as for
example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the
potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of
words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber
pole conveys meaning quickly and more difficult to describe than either signals or
signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions.
In some cultures, applauding in a theatre provides performers with an auditory
symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate
certain cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have
a major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the
sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication
intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based on speech.
Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few.
1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Signs, Signals, and Symbols B. Gestures
C. Communication D. Speech
2. What does the author say about speech?
A. That it is the only true form of communication.
B. That it is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
C. That it is necessary for communication to occur.
D. That it is the most advanced form of communication.
3. Applauding was cited as an example of
A. a sign B. a signal C. a symbol D. a gesture
4. Why were the telephone, radio, and TV invented?
A. Because people were unable to understand signs, symbols, and signals.
B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.
C. Because people believed that signals, and symbols were obsolete.
D. Because people wanted new forms of entertainment.
5. It may be concluded from this passage that
A. signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication.
B. symbols are very easy to define and interpret.
C. only some cultures have signals and symbols.
D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew
our food. They also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The
decay begins in a little crack in the enamed covering of the tooth. This
happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay
slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and we
may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year.
He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth
to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they
have toothache before they see a dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least
twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden
toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish,
brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and
cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they
stick to our teeth and cause decay.
1. Good teeth help us to ................
A. be nice B. have a good eyesight.
C. chew our food D. be important
2. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth ............
A. become hard B. begin to decay.
C. send poison into the blood. D. makes us feel quite ill.
3. A lot of people visit a dentist only when ..............
A. their teeth grow properly B. they have holes in their teeth
C. they have toothache D. they have brushed their teeth.
4. We ought to try clean our teeth ...............
A. once a day B. at least twice a day
C. between meals D. before breakfast.

A. red rice B. fresh fruit
C. fish D. chocolate.

An important part of world history is the story of communication. In prehistoric times, for
example, people did not have books. They did not know much about geography. People were
limited. They knew only about themselves and their environment (the land around their
homes). Their knowledge of geographical things like mountains and rivers was limited. They
did not travel very far. Sometimes they knew about nearby people and communicated with
them. They sent messages in simple ways. Early signals for communication included smoke
from fires and the sounds of drums.
Then peole formed towns, and then cities, as safe places to live. Soon they began to develop
other ways to communicate, to spread information. People began to buy and sell things to one
another. Because of their business, they developed writing systems to keep records and to send
messages. Life was changing for many people.Business caused changes, and so did the
invention of the printing press. Many more people learned to read then.
Suddenly communication and knowledge improved greatly. People sent letters and news by
horse and carriage. Later the mail went by train and then by airplane. World communication
was now a possibility.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help
us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamed covering of
the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly
spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the
small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are
growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a
dentist.
Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day-
once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean
between our teeth after a meal.
Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread,
potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad,
especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause
decay.
6. Good teeth help us to ................
A. be nice B. have a goodeyesight.
C. chew our food D. be important
7. When food and germs collect in a small crack, our teeth ............
A. become hard B. begin to decay.
C. send poison into the blood. D. makes us feel quite ill.
8. A lot of people visit a dentist only when ..............
A. their teeth grow properly B. they have holes in their teeth
C. they have toothache D. they have brushed their teeth.
9. We ought to try clean our teeth ...............
A. once a day B. at least twice a day
C. between meals D. before breakfast.
10. We shouldn’t eat a lot of ...............
A. red rice B. fresh fruit
C. fish D. chocolate.
