It can be just as important to understand-------(31)---- words are. Misunderstandings- often amusing-----(32)-------- sometimes serious- can arise between people from different cultures if they misinterpret nonverbal signals.

To an American, it means that everything-----(34)----- OK. To Japanese, it means that you are talking ---(35)------- money. In France, it means that something is worthless.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
 	Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking – and sealing process of canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year. 
 	Other trends and invention had also helped it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890’s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until mechanized refrigerator replaced it in 1920’s and 1930’s. 
 Almost everyone had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.

A. Causes of food spoilage 	
B. Commercial production of ice 
C. Inventions that led to changes in the American diet

C. available in limited quantities 	D. a staple part of the American diet 
Question 39:. It can be inferred that railroad refrigerator cars came into use _________
A. before 1860 	B. before 1890	C. after 1900	D. after 1920
Question 40: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to _________
A. refrigerator cars 	B. perishables 	C. growers 	D. distances

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulation Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously, when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves, without any outside intervention. Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.
Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper published in 1917. However, for many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many other to emit light, amplifying it try much higher powers.
The first to succeed was Charles H. Townes, then at Columbia University in New York. Instead of working with light, however, he worked with microwaves which have a much longer wavelength, by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Although he thought of the key idea in 1951, the first maser was not completed until a couple of years later. Before long, many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated emission at even shorter wavelengths.
The key concepts emerged about 1957. Townes and Arthur Schawlow, then at Bell Telephone Laboratories, wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission, of visible light waves. At about the same time, similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould, then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia, who wrote them down in a series of notebooks. Townes and Schawlow published their ideas to a scientific journal. Physical Review Letters, but Gould filed patent application. Three decades latter, people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser.
