Read the following passage and choose the option (A,B,C or D) that answers each of the questions below One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is losing Face -to-face contact with other people.Teens are sitting around with their hands all day long, tapping messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people .Many teenagers feel more comfortable with virtual friends than with real ones.The majority think that it is easier to chat on the Internet because they lack communication skills. It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what their kids do with their phones or computer. Crosby says that,"While kids are plugged in to social media , only about 40% of parents are involved themselves." And because parents don't know the full picture , thay also don't know how to deal with a teenager's potential overuse of social media and might not even be aware that a problem exists.Therefore , social networking can be much more immediately engaging with the teenager 's life than parents are , and this fact makes virtual commmunication feels more "real" than face-to-face communication 41.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Parents should use social networks more to understand their children B.Students are using social networks too much C.Social networking brings negative effects to student's face communication D.Virtual life is easier than real life 42.What do most teenagers think about chatting on the Internet?

II. Read this passage carefully and then choose the best answers to the questions below by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C, or D. (1.0 point)

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

     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.

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 from 36 to 42.

One of the most interesting parts of the earth for many people was and continues to be the beautiful world of the sea. People were always attracted to the mysteries of the deep waters when they saw a little part of the under water world on television or in photographs. Due to this intense attraction caused by the mystery of the waters, more and more people choose to practice scuba diving, which became in time one of the most popular sports around the world. Scuba diving is a complex sport that requires some research before being understood at its real value. In order for someone to practice it, it is required for them to take some courses so accidents can be avoided.

Scuba diving is not only about diving and observing the amazing environment that exists under the waters. This sport can be transformed into a successful career by those who are truly passionate about it. At the moment, scuba diving has four main areas of interest: recreation purposes, commercial purposes, scientific research and military activity as well. The most frequent reason why people go for scuba diving is because they want to relax in a special way, by having contact with a less known world.

A great thing about this sport is that it can be practiced anytime around the year; however, you should choose the summer if you have problems with low temperatures. Once you take the lessons, you get the basic knowledge before diving, you should talk to a specialist and obtain quality equipment for this activity. For the beginning, you can only rent scuba diving equipment, but if you get attached to this sport, then you will have to purchase one of your own at some moment. Some of the most important parts of the scuba gear are the mask, the snorkel, the diving suit, the gloves, the boots and the diving regulator.

          If you finally decided to try scuba diving and you already took some scuba courses then you must be thinking about what location to choose. This is one of the most difficult decisions to make as our world is filled with numerous destinations, equally beautiful and interesting. If this passion catches you then you will surely get to visit more and more amazing locations each year. There is no such thing as the most beautiful waters to scuba diving in as each part has something to offer and shelters special creatures that should be observed.

Question 39: According to the passage, which of the interest of scuba diving is NOT mentioned?

A. relaxing

B. trading

C. activities for the armed forces

D. adventure
