Although speech is generally accepted as the most advanced form of communication, there are 
many ways of communicating without using words. In every known culture, signals, signs, symbols, 
and gestures are commonly utilized as instruments of communication. There is a great deal of 
agreement among communication scientists as to what each of these methods is and how each differs 
from the others. For instance, the basic function of any signal is to impinge upon the environment in 
such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes that can be applied in a 
telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication through these dots and 
dashes—short and long intervals as the circuit is broken—is very great. Less adaptable to the 
codification of words, signs also contain agreed upon meaning; that is, they convey information in and 
of themselves. Two examples are the hexagonal red sign that conveys the meaning of stop, and the red 
and white swirled pole outside a shop that communicates the meaning of barber. 
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate 
relationship with the receiver’s culture perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides 
performers with an auditory symbol of approval. In other cultures, if done in unison, applauding can 
be a symbol of the audience’s discontent with the performance. Gestures such as weaving and 
handshaking also communicate certain culture messages. 
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they also have a major 
disadvantage in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender 
being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a 
result, means of communication intended to be used across long distances and extended periods must 
be based upon speech. To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, 
electronic mail, and the internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication 
on the horizon.

A. Communication B. Signs and Signals C. Speech D. Gestures

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 43 to 50. 
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the broad 
area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating 
with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A person conveys 
thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or 
harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are 
flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. 
When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. 
At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or 
may believe them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive 
sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of 
which are .usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication 
that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The 
motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the 
performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, 
political, or pedagogic communication. 
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and 
emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, 
aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a 
clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident 
front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given 
conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the 
speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by 
constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed. 
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss? 
A. The connection between voice and personality 
B. Communication styles 
C. The function of the voice in performance 
D. The production of speech 
Question 44: What does the author mean by saying that: "At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect 
ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen"? 
A. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas. 
B. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are. 
C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication. 
D. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words. 
Question 45: The word Here in line 9 refers to ______. 
A. words chosen B. the tone 
C. ideas and feelings D. interpersonal interactions 
Question 46: The word derived in line 13 is closest in meaning to______. 
A. obtained B. prepared C. registered D. discussed 
Question 47: According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a person's 
______. 
A. general physical health B. personality 
C. ability to communicate D. vocal quality 
Question 48: According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide ______. 
A. shyness B. hostility C. friendliness D. strength 
Question 49: The word drastically in line 21 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. frequently B. exactly C. severely D. easily
