impolite or bowing because form show avoid complex status
Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word
In summary, for most visitors, the Japanese are (1) complex and difficult to understand. The
graceful act of (2)bowing , is the traditional greeting. However, they have also adopted the
western custom of shaking hands, but with a light grip. Meanwhile, to (3) show respect for
their customs, it would flatter them to offer a slight bow when being introduced.
(4) avoid hugging and kissing when greeting. It is considered rude to stare. Prolonged direct
eye contact is considered to be (5) impolite or even intimidating. It is rude to stand with your
hand or hands in your pockets, especially when greeting someone (6) or when addressing a
group of people. The seemingly simple act of exchanging business cards is more complex in
Japan (7) because the business card represents not only one’s identity but also his (8) status in
life. Yours should be printed in your own language and in Japanese. The Japanese are not a
touch-oriented society; so avoid open displays of affection, touching or any prolonged
(9) form of body contact. Queues are generally respected; especially in crowded train and
subway stations (10) where the huge volume of people causes touching and pushing.
for dislike no express much look while to be accurately interpreting
Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
The most dominant and reliable features of facial expressions provide a constant channel of
communication. They can be shifty and evasive; convey hate, fear, and guilt; or
(1) express confidence, love, and support.
Referred to as “mirrors of the soul” our eyes serve as the major decisive factor in
(2) interpreting the spoken words. The eyes of the man converse as (3) much as their tongues,
with the advantage that the ocular dialect needs (4) no dictionary, but it is understood all over
the world. When the eyes say one thing, and the tongue another, a practiced man relies on
eyes. Except (5) for extremely shy individuals, most people look for social acceptance by
studying the eyes of others. Eyes also can (6) accurately indicate a positive or a negative
relationship. People tend to look longer and more often at the people whom they trust, respect
and care about than at those whom they doubt or (7) dislike. Normal eye dilation is not under
control of the individual. Personally characteristics such as introversion and extroversion also
influence eye behavior. Eye behavior seems (8) to be particular importance and is generally
used to indicate whether one is open to communication. This can be observed when a teacher
asks the class a question: students who think they know the answer will generally (9) look at
the teacher, (10) while students who do not know the answer will usually try to avoid eye
contact.
Passage 3: Read the passages carefully, then choose the best option
Greetings in all languages have the same purpose: to establish contact with another
person, to recognize his or her existence and to show friendliness. The formulas for
greeting are very specific and usually do not carry any literal meaning people say “
Good morning “even if it is a miserable day and may reply to “How are you?” with
“Fine, thanks” even if they aren’t feeling well.
Closings, like greetings are commonly used to exchange with no literal meaning. People
who are leaving each other permanently or for a long time shake hands or embrace,
depending on the relationship. If you are in an unfamiliar situation and wonder what to
do, watch other people or ask.
It is interesting, and sometimes very important to learn about the standards of courtesy
in different cultural areas of the world so that we can practice them well and avoid
awkwardness in case we get a chance to visit a person or a community of unfamiliar
social customs.

Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our
culture. Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations
and ideals. Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives,
children and parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture
affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of
children a couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing,
and the way parents raise children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary
across cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways
that marriages and family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to
help families and sustain happy marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural
background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it,
the different habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have,
are all very exciting indeed. What are the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love
relationship with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how
much you love your husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural
awareness, cross cultural communication and respect for differences, misunderstanding seems
to be unavoidable.

Passage 7: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
Body postures and movements are frequently indicators of self-confidence, energy, fatigue, or
status. Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict, or replace verbal messages.
Gestures also serve an important function with regard to regulating the flow of conversation.
For example, if a student is talking about something in front of the class, single nods of the
head from the teacher will likely cause that student to continue and perhaps more elaborate.
Postures as well as gestures are used to indicate attitudes, status, affective moods, approval,
deception, warmth, arid other variables related to conversation interaction.
The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” well describes the meaning of facial
expressions. Facial appearance – including wrinkles, muscle tone, skin coloration, and eye
color-offers enduring cues that reveille information about age, sex, race, ethnic origin, and
status.
A less permanent second set of facial cues-including length of hair, hairstyle, cleanliness, and
facial hair-relate to an individual’s idea of beauty. A third group of facial markers are
momentary expressions that signal that cause changes in the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids,
cheeks, nose, lips, and chin, such as raising the eyebrows, wrinkling the brow, curling the lip.
Some facial expressions are readily visible, while others are fleeting. Both types can
positively or negatively reinforce the spoken words and convey cues concerning emotions and
attitudes.

Passage 5: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
If you invite an American friend to join you to have dinner in a restaurant, phone the
restaurant first to find out if you need a reservation to avoid a long wait for table. To make a
reservation, just give your name, the number of people in your group, and the time you plan to
arrive. When you invite someone to have dinner, you should be prepared to pay the bill and
reach for it when it arrives. However, if your companion insists on playing his or her share, do
not get into argument about it. Some people prefer to pay their own way so that they do not
feel indebted, and those feelings should be respected. In most American restaurants, the
waiter or waitress’s tip is not added to the bill. If the service was adequate, it is customary to
leave a tip equal to about 15% of the bill. In expensive restaurants, leave a bit more.

If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for
polite behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time but not early. Americans expect
promptness. It will be all right to be 10 or 15 minutes late, but not 45 minutes late. When you
are invited to someone’s home for meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers and candy
are always appropriate. If you have something attractive made in your country, your host or
hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that gift. What will you do if you are served some food
that you cannot eat or you do not like? Do not make a fuss about it. Simply eat what you can
and hope that no one noticed it. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you are
enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not over-stay your welcome, either.
The next day, call or write a thank- you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.

Passage 2: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend
also. They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts
and fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values,
our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar
with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same
roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated
and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of
the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other’s country, culture,
traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very
disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner’s excitements and
frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous
actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this
artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house
when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your
feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she
has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife
has the same situation with you. You do not know her country’s songs, her country’s famous
actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much
more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can
understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share
her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife’s country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her,
ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to
her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your
country’s culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you
with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like. Patience
and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

and hope that no one noticed it. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you are
enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not over-stay your welcome, either.
The next day, call or write a thank- you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.

Passage 7: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
Body postures and movements are frequently indicators of self-confidence, energy, fatigue, or
status. Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict, or replace verbal messages.
Gestures also serve an important function with regard to regulating the flow of conversation.
For example, if a student is talking about something in front of the class, single nods of the
head from the teacher will likely cause that student to continue and perhaps more elaborate.
Postures as well as gestures are used to indicate attitudes, status, affective moods, approval,
deception, warmth, arid other variables related to conversation interaction.
The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” well describes the meaning of facial
expressions. Facial appearance – including wrinkles, muscle tone, skin coloration, and eye
color-offers enduring cues that reveille information about age, sex, race, ethnic origin, and
status.
A less permanent second set of facial cues-including length of hair, hairstyle, cleanliness, and
facial hair-relate to an individual’s idea of beauty. A third group of facial markers are
momentary expressions that signal that cause changes in the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids,
cheeks, nose, lips, and chin, such as raising the eyebrows, wrinkling the brow, curling the lip.
Some facial expressions are readily visible, while others are fleeting. Both types can
positively or negatively reinforce the spoken words and convey cues concerning emotions and
attitudes.

Passage 2: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend
also. They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts
and fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values,
our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar
with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same
roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated
and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of
the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other’s country, culture,
traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very
disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner’s excitements and
frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous
actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this
artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house
when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your
feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she
has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife
has the same situation with you. You do not know her country’s songs, her country’s famous
actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much
more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can
understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share
her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife’s country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her,
ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to
her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your
country’s culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you
with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like. Patience
and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

Passage 3: Read the passages carefully, then choose the best option
Greetings in all languages have the same purpose: to establish contact with another person, to
recognize his or her existence and to show friendliness. The formulas for greeting are very
specific and usually do not carry any literal meaning people say “ Good morning “even if it is
a miserable day and may reply to “How are you?” with “Fine, thanks” even if they aren’t
feeling well.
Closings, like greetings are commonly used to exchange with no literal meaning. People who
are leaving each other permanently or for a long time shake hands or embrace, depending on
the relationship. If you are in an unfamiliar situation and wonder what to do, watch other
people or ask.
It is interesting, and sometimes very important to learn about the standards of courtesy in
different cultural areas of the world so that we can practice them well and avoid awkwardness
in case we get a chance to visit a person or a community of unfamiliar social customs.

If you invite an American friend to join you to have dinner in a restaurant, phone the
restaurant first to find out if you need a reservation to avoid a long wait for table. To make a
reservation, just give your name, the number of people in your group, and the time you plan to
arrive. When you invite someone to have dinner, you should be prepared to pay the bill and
reach for it when it arrives. However, if your companion insists on playing his or her share, do
not get into argument about it. Some people prefer to pay their own way so that they do not
feel indebted, and those feelings should be respected. In most American restaurants, the
waiter or waitress’s tip is not added to the bill. If the service was adequate, it is customary to
leave a tip equal to about 15% of the bill. In expensive restaurants, leave a bit more.

Passage 12: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children.
But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group
has many other members. This kind of large family is called an “extended family” or a “joint
family”.
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother’s or the father’s side of the
family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
They live together in a large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to
survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect
themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his
parents’ home. Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children
felt very loyal to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always took care of the
old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family
share their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the
others help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help

Passage 14: Read the following passages and choose the best option
The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and

at public or government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling
or their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the
opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality
American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of
presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American
education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and
industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after
programs at the world’s best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American
school and being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in
your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high
school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential.
Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it
difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American education

Passage 9: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages
were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say
no in the matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just
met on the day of their engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-
partners based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants.
Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese
occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a
traditional Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and
overseas, often combining both western and eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony,
there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the
wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage
ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding
consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to
receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor
ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom’s house for another
ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet.
The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several
special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom
and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting.

Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture.
Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals.
Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and
parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture affects
the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a
couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way
parents raise children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural
contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and
family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and
sustain happy marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural
background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the

with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your

In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children. But
this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has many
other members. This kind of large family is called an "extended family" or a "joint family".
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother's or the father's side of the family.
It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They live
together in a large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to
survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect
themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his parents'
home. Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children felt very loyal
to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always took care of the old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family share
their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the others
help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help and
protection.
This passage as a whole tells us about …

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and
secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at
public or government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or
their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the
opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality
American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of
presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American
education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and
industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at
the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being
exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high
school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential.
Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it
difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American education system
and the American school system host more international students than any other country in the
world!
