numbered blanks from 36 to 42 All too often, there is deference between what we say and what we think we have said, and between how we feel we have handled people and how they think they have been treated When such ‘ gaps’ occur between the intent and the action, it is often stated that there has been ‘ a break-down in communication ’ Sometimes the break-down is allowed to become so serious that the gap becomes a chasm, relatives in family ceasing to speak to one another, managements and trade unions refusing to meet, government recalling ambassadors when relations between states reach a low ebb In fact, sometimes when people communicate, either as individual or within groups, problems inevitably occur; instruction maybe impossible to carry out, offence is taken at a particular remark, a directive is ambiguously phrased or people’s attitudes are colored by jealousy, resentment or frustration During the past fifty years, industrial, commercial and public service organization have grown prodigiously to meet the needs of advanced technological societies Sometimes as many as 10,000 people work on one site, or one company employs more than 50,000 people Clearly, good communications are essential to the efficient operation of any organization, and vital to the fulfillment of all those who commit their working lives to it For this reason, management specialist and

the second was agriculture Agriculture was a step in human progress to which subsequently there was nothing comparable until our own machine age Agriculture made possible an immense increase in the number of the human species in the regions where it could be successfully practiced These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest Agriculture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads, but the agricultural way of life prevailed in the end because of the physical comforts it provided Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were not present when the information was given These inventions and discoveries - fire, speech, weapons, domestic animals, agriculture, and writing made the existence of civilized communities possible From about 3000 B C until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution less than two hundred years ago there was no technical advance comparable to these During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to develop the beliefs and political Bộ đềthithửTHPTmônTiếngAnh2017 organizations appropriate to it There was, of course, an immense extension in the area of civilized life At first it had been confined to the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Indus, but at the end of the period in question it covered much the greater part of the inhabitable globe I not mean to suggest that there was no technical progress during this long time; there was progress - there were even two inventions of very great importance, namely gunpowder and the mariner’s compass - but neither of these can be compared in their power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture (Adapted from “The Development of Human Civilization”) Question 43: According to the author, which one of the following was first discovered or invented in human civilization?
