correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American
ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more
varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious
customs among American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American
families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children
or have none still living at home. Of the final one, about 20 percent of the total number of American
households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years old. A small percentage, about 3
percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together, and the rest, about 7
percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are
typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in
family forms other than the traditional one.
36. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?
A. The traditional American family. B. The nuclear family.
C. The current American family. D. The ideal family

Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture.
Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals. Culture
plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture affects
the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a couple have,
the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way parents raise children.
Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural contexts, and how they are similar,
we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and family life affect people of various
cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and sustain happy marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural
background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the different
habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are. all very exciting
indeed. What of the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship with someone from
another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your husband or wife, no matter

Nonverbal communication expresses meaning or feeling without words. Universal emotions, such
as happiness, fear, sadness, are expressed in a similar nonverbal way throughout the world. There are,
however, nonverbal differences across cultures that may be a source of confusion for foreigners. Let's
look at the way people express sadness. In many cultures, such as the Arab and Iranian cultures, people
express grief openly. They mourn out loud, while people from other cultures (e.g., China and Japan) are
more subdued. In Asian cultures, the general belief is that is is unacceptable to show emotion openly
(whether sadness, happiness, or
Let's take another example of how cultures differ in their nonverbal expression of emotion.
Feelings of friendship exist everywhere in the world, but their expression varies. It is acceptable in some
countries for men to embrace and for women to hold hands; in other countries, these displays of affection
are discouraged or prohibited.
As with nonverbal communication, what is considered usual or polite behavior in one culture may
be seen as unusual or impolite in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a
waiter is appropriate, whereas another may consider this gesture rude. We are often not aware of how
gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and the use of conversational distance affect communication. To
Page 10/21
interpret another culture's style of communication, it is necessary to study the "silent language" of that
culture.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

The system of higher education had its origin in Europe in the Middle Ages, when the first
universities were established. In modern times, the nature of higher education around the world, to some
extent, has been determined by the models of influential countries such as France and Germany.
Both France and Germany have systems of higher education that are basically administered by
state agencies. Entrance requirements for students are also similar in both countries. In France, an
examination called the baccalauréat is given at the end of secondary education. Higher education in
France is free and open to all students who have passed this baccalauréat. Success in this examination
allows students to continue their higher education for another three or four years until they have attained
the first university degree called a licence in France.
Basic differences, however, distinguish these two countries’ systems. French educational districts,
called académies, are under the direction of a rector, an appointee of the national government who is also
in charge of universities in each district. The uniformity in curriculum throughout the country leaves each
university with little to distinguish itself. Hence, many students prefer to go to Paris, where there are
better accommodations and more cultural amenities for them. Another difference is the existence in
France of prestigious higher educational institutions known as grandes écoles, which provide advanced
professional and technical training. Most of these schools are not affiliated with the universities, although
they too recruit their students by giving competitive examinations to candidates. The grandes écoles
provide rigorous training in all branches of applied science and technology, and their diplomas have a
somewhat higher standing than the ordinary licence.
In Germany, the regional universities have autonomy in determining their curriculum under the
direction of rectors elected from within. Students in Germany change universities according to their
interests and the strengths of each university. In fact, it is a custom for students to attend two, three, or
even four different universities in the course of their undergraduate studies, and the majority of professors
at a particular university may have taught in four or five others. This high degree of mobility means that
schemes of study and examination are marked by a freedom and individuality unknown in France.
France and Germany have greatly influenced higher education systems around the world. The
French, either through colonial influence or the work of missionaries, introduced many aspects of their
system in other countries. The German were the first to stress the importance of universities as research
facilities, and they also created a sense of them as emblems of a national mind. (Source:

I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists and I feel I work hard
for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week. I met the group at the airport and took them to the
coach. The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn't far to the hotel and
everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn't used the Hotel Riviera before but our normal
one had a conference in it so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk,
they said they were full. I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by
phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognized my voice and that I had made the phone call. We
had a bit of argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the end, the manager phoned other
hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time, the coach had
gone, so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very angry with me. I still don't know
who made that phone call but it definitely wasn't me....
