Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share knowledge, 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.
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.
Which is NOT included in nonverbal communication?
 a. words 	b. spatial distance 	c. facial expressions 	d. tone of voice
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
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
The word reading has a close meaning to ________.
 a. looking at the words that are written 	 b. understanding
 c. saying something aloud 	d. expressing

 VI- READING COMPREHENSION: (1.25pts)
 Choose the item (a, b ,c or d) that best completes the unfinished statement (or best answers the question) about each passage. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes. 
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you. 
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.
A spouse should ________.
a. let the partner to do everything alone b. be not only a lover but also a friend
c. not share the feelings with the partner d. not interfere with what the partner's likes and dislikes
According to the passage, ________.
a. Spouses who have the same nationality need more patience and understanding in their marriage than those who are from different cultures.
b. Spouses who are from different cultures need more patience and understanding in their marriage than those who have the same roots.
c. Spouses who have the same roots go not share anything together.
d. Spouses who are from different cultures can never share anything together.
If there is the inability to understand a spouse's excitements and frustrations the marriage, he or she may feel ________.
a. faithful 	b. hopeless 	c. disappointed 	d. happy
The passage is ________.
a. critical 	b. convincing 	c. advisory 	d. apologetic
To overcome cultural differences in marriage needs ________.
a. patience and time 	b. time and money c. movies and music 	d. books and the Internet
