That's because it is The original experiments which gave rise to these figures only applied to the communication of emotions - specifically, feelings of like or dislike The author of the study, himself, stressed that to apply his findings to communication in general would be a gross misrepresentation of his research That didn't stop this from happening though Let's think about it for a minute How can you possibly get 93% of communication without the words? If you watch a foreign-language film, and observe the body language and listen to the vocal tones - can you really understand 93% of the plot? Of course not In 2009, BBC's Radio interviewed the man whose research has been misrepresented in so many ways, Albert Mehrabian During the radio interview, Mehrabian blew a hole in the interpretation by explaining that if he were asked where a pencil was, he would struggle to communicate that is was in the third drawer down of the left hand side of the desk in the spare bedroom without using words Nevertheless, those who teach communication skills to business executives, salesmen, politicians and others, continue to perpetuate the myth, mindlessly regurgitating it without bothering to check if it is true Communication is terrifically and beautifully complex Non-verbal aspects of communication obviously contribute to message content, but the idea they deliver 93% of the entire message is entirely false (Adapted from Upstream by Virginia Evans and Jenny Dooley) Question 56: Which best serves as the title for the passage? A Busting the myth: 93% of communication is not non-verbal B Why original experiments on communication have a lot to answer for? C Mehrabian’s interview blasts his own research as ‘misinterpreted’ D Brush up on your facts: A quick note to communication teachers Question 57: According to paragraph 1, what is it that the writer finds hard to believe? A Humans can understand over half of communication via body language B Humans can guess one’s characteristics from his or her tone of voice C Humans get at least 7% of message content from the actual words used D All self-help books introduce ways to communicate nonverbally Question 58: The phrase ‘blew a hole in’ in paragraph mostly means _ A impressed B succeed C damaged D impacted Question 59: The word ‘regurgitating’ in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A revising B considering C emphasizing D repeating Question 60: The word ‘they’ in paragraph refers to _ A communication skills B business executives C non-verbal aspects D salesmen Trang 5/7- Mã đề 001 Question 61: Which of the following is true, according to the views of the writer? A Foreign language films can rarely be understood without subtitles B Those in high positions of power in the workplace are primarily responsible for the notion that non- verbal communication is so important C Communication is not a simple concept for ordinary people to understand D Non-verbal communication plays a very little part in actual message delivery Question 62: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A The writer has a wealth of experience in consuming psychology based literature B The writer regularly watches foreign language films on ‘mute’ and seldom understands them C The writer somewhat sides with the view shared by the original researcher of non-verbal communication D The writer has very little time for those who teach communication skills Read the passage and choose the best option A, B, C or D to answer the following questions In taking up a new life across the Atlantic, the early European settlers of the United States did not abandon the diversions with which their ancestors had traditionally relieved the tedium of life Neither the harshness of existence on the new continent nor the scattered population nor the disapproval of the clergy discouraged the majority from the pursuit of pleasure City and country dwellers, of course, conducted this pursuit in different ways Farm dwellers in their isolation not only found it harder to locate companions in play but also, thanks to the unending demands and pressures of their work, felt it necessary to combine fun with purpose No other set of colonists took so seriously one expression of the period, "Leisure is time for doing something useful."
