Every culture has its own body language, and children understand

and learn its __21___, along with words. For example, a Frenchman talks and moves

in French ways, while an Englishman and a __22___ American cross their legs very

differently. It is also interesting to note that in talking, Americans are likely to end a

sentence with a dropping of the head or hand, as well as with a lowering of the __23___.

They finish up a question with a raise of the hand, a lift of the __24___, or a widening

of the eyes.

What's__25___, there are regional phrases too; an expert can sometimes pick out a

__26__ of Wisconsin just by the way a person uses his or her eyebrows during

conversations. Everything from your sex,

__27___ background, social class, and communication style all influences your body

language.

A person who truly knows two languages uses both body languages too. A good

example of this is New York's famous __28___, Fiorello La Guardia, who communicated

in English, Italian and Yiddish. When films of his __29___are run without sound, it's not

too difficult to tell from his gestures the language being spoken. In fact, one of the

reasons English

__30___ foreign films often seem flat is that the gestures just don't match the

language.

Task 1

In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the

schools of Ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or

giving speeches.

In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who

were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study

with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part

of the process of testing candidates (

考生

for the doctor‘s degree.

Generally , however, modern examinations are written. The written examination,

where all Students are tested on the on the same questions,

was probably not known until the nineteenth century.

Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population

and the development of modern Industry, A room full of candidates for a state

examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and Carefully watched over by managers,

resembles a group of workers at an automobilefactory. Certainly, , during examinations

teachers and students are expected to act

like machines.

One type of test ins sometimes called an objective test . It is

intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the

teacher writhes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along

with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that

look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.
