 Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as gesture of good will. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had more practical purpose. 
 Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he would often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling around each other, weapons in hand, until it was mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside. Then, the two parties extended their right hands to show that they had no weapons, and clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake.
 The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the Orient, people have, for centuries, clasped their own hands in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no weapons. In France, a custom developed in which people who met would kiss each other on both cheeks. The natives of some South Seas islands greet by rubbing noses.

XI. 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.
The concept of obtaining fresh water from iceberg that is towed to populated areas and arid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life. But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations, especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food. Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently. (A)
 Three-quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir of untapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years. Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in 10,000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps, more than ninety percent of them from Antarctica. (B)
 Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes; rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind, pulled by subsurface currents. Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean. (C)
 The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume. But even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced by desalination, or removing salt from water. (D)
Question 28: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The movement of glaciers 	B. Icebergs as a source of fresh water
C. Future water shortages 	D. The future of the world's rivers
Question 29: The word “arid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. anhydrous 	B. fruitful 	C. remote	D. distant
Question 30: The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A. an iceberg that is towed 	B. obtaining fresh water from icebergs
C. the population of arid areas 	D. real life
Question 31: According to the author, most of the world's fresh water is to be found in ________.
A. oceans	B. rivers	C. glaciers	D. reservoirs
Question 32: The word “currents” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. pulls	B. waves	C. weather	D. flows of water
Question 33: How are icebergs formed?
A. They break off from glaciers 	B. Seawater freezes
C. Rivers freeze 	D. Small pieces of floating ice converge
Question 34: With which of the following ideas would the author be likely to agree?
A. Towing icebergs to dry areas is economically possible
B. Desalination of water is the best way to obtain drinking water
C. Using water from icebergs is a very short-term solution to water shortages
D. Icebergs could not be towed very far before they would melt
