Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with them or that you don’t trust them But perhaps this kind of intuition isn’t as hard to explain as it may seem For instance, people give out body language signals all the time The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive Holding your head to one side shows

interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident All this affects the

way you feel about someone.

Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone This may be because of something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly Your feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening

READING COMPREHENSION :

Read the following passage carefully then choose the correct anwer :

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech.A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to

language.Human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years, but they have been talking

for much longer.When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, albeit

imperfectly Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write Any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so

On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing sytsems never learn to read or write,while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly

A words B books C experiences D novels

7 According to the passage, writing

A is imperfect, but less so than speech

B represented speech, but not perfectly

A people who learn the rudiments of speech

B people who speak many languages

imperfectly Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write Any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk , a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so

On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing sytsems never learn to read or write,while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly
