Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people. Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills. Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not cease to exist although become entwined in the total communication process. 1. According to the writer, ________. a. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute. b. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language. c. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language. d. People communicate with both verbal and nonverbal language. 2. Which is not included in nonverbal communication? a. words b. spatial distance c. facial expressions d. tone of voice 3.

The word reading has a close meaning to ________. a. looking at the words that are written b. understanding c. saying something aloud d. expressing When Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492, there were already an estimated 30 to 40 million people living in North and South America. It has therefore been quite easy for some to refute the idea that Columbus “discovered” America. How and when these inhabitants came to America has been the source of much scientific research and discussion. Most archeologists agree that the first Americans, the true “discoverers” of America, came from northeastern Asia. There is also a considerable amount of proof that inhabitants have been in the Americas for at least 15,000 years. To get to Americas, these people had to cross over the 55-mile-wide Bering Strait that separates Asia and North America. According to one theory, these people crossed over during periods when a land bridge existed between the two continents. During the Ice Age, so much of the Earth’s water was frozen that the sea levels dropped, and it was possible to walk from Asia to North America. 1. What is the author’s main purpose? A.
