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 36 to 42.Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver's cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction come to a halt. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for 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 doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon.Applauding was cited as an example of ________. A.a signB.a gestureC.a signal D. a symbol

Your teacher gives you the following brochure about crime. Read the information and answer the questions. How to Avoid Being Mugged A surprisingly large number of people have had first-band experience of some sort of crime in the streets, the most common of which is mugging. In the city of Chicago alone, there are about 6,000 muggings every year. Here are some tips in order to avoid joining the growing list of people who have been mugged. How can a mugger be spotted? Be wary of loiterers who seem to be window shopping or who aren’t really doing anything. Muggers need time to find the right victim, so they neither hide nor walk very quickly. They often ask for spare change or what the time is. These are tricks to distract their victims, and also to figure out if you have any expensive jewellery or items worth stealing. Finally, be suspicious of anyone who is wearing clothing which hides their identity, such as a hooded jacket. What kind of victims do muggers search for? Muggers love solitary individuals, so be sure to stay where the people are. Avoid empty streets and alleyways, and whenever possible, try to walk with a friend. Walk confidently and take long steps. Muggers do not like people who are relaxed and seem sure of themselves. It is also a good idea to look a potential mugger in the eye, for the same reason. However, if the mugger is an aggressive type, establishing eye contact may backfire, as he/she might see it as a challenge. So if your confident look is met with an angry stare, be the first to look away. Lastly, do not dress in a way that makes you stand out. If you are a tourist, try to dress like a local. What can you do if you realize you are a target? It is sometimes a good idea to act unpredictably, perhaps by acting crazy or shouting. If there are people around, shouting “Fire!” is more effective than “Help!”. However, in the majority of cases muggers carry dangerous weapons, so it’s probably safer to go along with their demands. If a mugger forces you into your car, you will probably be told to drive to an ATM and withdraw cash. Don’t worry, though, because most banks will refund any money withdrawn while being robbed if you report the incident to the police.What is the best thing to do when you are mugged?A.shout “help” loudly B.obey the muggerC.call the police D.use a dangerous weapon
