Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each question.
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warm, and instruct people. While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
Which of the following best summarizes this passage?




A.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners
B.Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest

Every day many road accidents happen in Hong Kong. Everyone, especially children must learn how to cross the road. A simple code to remember is “STOP, LOOK and LISTEN BEFORE YOUCROSS”.
The Transport Department organized road safety campaigns every year in order to reduce traffic accidents. Parents and teachers should educate children on road safety. Most schools have their own School Road Safety Patrols. The School Road Safety Patrols is a uniformed group. It recruits secondary school students as members. Students in senior forms help fellow students cross the road correctly and safely on their way to and from school. When you go out alone, however, what is the best way to cross the road? First, you must find a safe place to cross. Of course, it is safest to be directed by a policeman or a traffic warden. Roads are dangerous.
