Mean What You Say: The Art of Conversation
It’s always a good idea to study the language of a foreign country before you travel there. But speaking with
someone from another country can involve more than just words in a different language. People in different
countries can have very different customs when they speak.
People in Indonesia, for example, always want to be agreeable and polite, and this means that they don’t like
to say “no.” In their native language (Bahasa Indonesia), there are many ways to say “yes.” But twelve of these
“yes” words actually mean “no”!
Australians are friendly with people, but they value directness. Australians prefer a clear, direct response,
even if it is not the one they wanted.
The French appreciate the art of conversation, which can include arguing as a form of entertainment. In this
case, speakers may interrupt each other frequently. This is considered active participation in the conversation
by both people. It is better than one person lecturing the other.
As in many other Latin American countries, titles are very important in Costa Rica. People’s titles can
indicate their professions, such as Doctor (doctor) or Ingeniero (engineer). Licenciado is used when talking to
someone with a college degree. If someone doesn’t have a professional title, Señor (Mr.), Señora (Mrs.), or
Señorita (Miss) are appropriate.

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.
Every four years the world watches the Olympic Games, which start when somebody from the host country carries a torch into the stadium and lights the flame in the opening ceremony. The flame continues to burn throughout the games until it is extinguished in the closing ceremony.
This is a tradition that started in ancient Greece, when a fire burnt throughout the ancient Olympics, but it was not introduced to the modern games until 1928. The modern world welcomed the idea of an Olympic flame with enthusiasm. In 1936, Carl Diem, a German sports official, came up with the idea of an Olympic torch relay for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Since then the torch relay has been part of the Olympic Games.
The Olympic torch is lit many months before the opening ceremony at Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympics in Greece. Eleven women take part and one of them lights the torch from the sun using a special mirror. After this, there is a ceremony in the Athenian Panathmaiko Stadium, where the Athens city authorities deliver the torch to the officials of the host city.
This ceremony is then followed by the torch relay. Traditionally, runners, including athletes, celebrities and ordinary people carry the torch on a journey from Athens to the host city. The relay lasts for many months and goes through many countries. Sometimes the torch travels by boat, or by plane.
The relay ends when the torch arrives at the Olympic stadium where the Games will take place. The final carrier of the torch is often kept secret until the last moment, and is usually a famous sportsman or woman. They run around the track and towards a huge cauldron, which is usually at the top of a staircase. They use the torch to light the Olympic flame.
The torch relay represents the passing of Olympic traditions from one generation to the next. Originally, the flame represented the “endeavour for protection and struggle for victory". Since it was introduced again in 1928, it has come to represent “the light of spirit, knowledge, and life”.
Question: According to the passage, what is the torch delivering ceremony followed?
A. a torch relay
B. a torch lighting
C. a torch extinguishing
D. a torch sprint
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.
Music therapy is using music to help people with a variety of problems. For example, it can help people with communication and speech problems speak better. It can help people with memory problems remember things from their past. Music therapy can also help people manage stress and be more relaxed. It can even make people with bad pain feel better.
In music therapy, a music therapist works with one person alone or with small groups. The therapist meets with the person and does tests to find out what the problem is and what the person can do with music. Then the therapist decides what kind of music therapy to use. Some people sing, and others might compose music, but a person doesn't need to know about music to be helped by music therapy. There are options such as listening to music and dancing to music. Research shows that these activities are good for the body and for the mind.
Homes that take care of elderly people often have music therapy programs. The programs help the elderly be more energetic and also help with memory problems. Some hospitals have music therapy for patients who are in a lot of pain. Music can affect a part of the brain that reduces pain.
Trevor Gibbons is one example of a person who was helped by music therapy. In 2000, he was putting in windows on the fourth floor of a building when he fell. He was in the hospital for over a year. He was in a lot of pain, and he couldn’t talk. He went from the hospital to a rehabilitation center that has a music therapy program, and a music therapist worked with him for several years. He could sing more easily than he could talk. Trevor says that music also helped him manage loneliness, sadness, and pain after he was hurt. Music and the music therapist inspired him, and he has written and sung many songs. He has even recorded CDs and performed at Lincoln Center in New York.
Question 5: Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. the life of a music therapist
B. other uses of music
C. music for the elderly
D. the history of music therapy
