Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34
The human body seems to have been designed for producing language The mouth is relatively small and can be opened and closed rapidly, and the flexible tongue can be used to shape a wide variety
of sounds The teeth are upright, not slanting outwards like those of apes, and they are roughly even in height Such characteristics are not needed for eating but are extremely helpful in pronouncing sounds such asl v and th The lips have much more intricate muscles than those of other primates, and their flexibility helps with sounds like p, b andw.
Many scholars have studied how the development of language is related to the evolutionary
development of the human species One evolutionary step may have resulted in the development of a
vocal tract capable of producing the wide variety of sounds utilized by human language The assumption of an upright posture moved the head forward and the larynx, or "voice box," lower This
created a longer cavity above the vocal cords, which acted as a resonator for any sounds produced by
the larynx
Another evolutionary step may have been development of a mechanism for perceiving and
distinguishing sounds However, the ability to hear speech sounds is not a necessary condition for the
acquisition and use of language Humans who are born deaf learn the sign languages that are used around them Still, all languages, including sign language, require the organizing and combining of sounds or signs in specific constructions
The human brain has specialized functions in each of its two hemispheres Those functions which are analyic, such as tool-using and language, are largely confi+ed to the left hemisphere of the
brain It may be that there is an evolutionary connection between the tool-using and language- using abirities of humans, and that o*n

Unfortunately, many students overlook the value of taking a yeff off from their studies Far from being a year wasted, a gap year between school and university could actually be of benefit to
your future, especially if you make the most of it by working and travelling abroad Not only are you likely to increase your self-confidence by living in another country, you'Il add valuable work experience to your CV - a bonus when it comes to job hunting after college

Since 1962, BUNAC, a non-profit orgarization, has enabled thousands of full-time students to
work in America, Canada and Australia each year There is a wide range of programmes to choose from and they are designed to be self-financing, so you should be able to earn back your initial expenses
and have sufficient money to pay for your post-work travels
Work America and Work Canada are open to full time students and those who have postponed their entry and have a place at a university for the following year Those taking part in the
programme can take almost any job anywhere for the summer (up to 12 months in Canada) It is even possible to pack fish in Alaska, if that appeals! Most however, would tend to work in temporary
jobs within the tourism industry, mainly in restaurants and hotels
BUNACAMP Counsellors places both students and non-students at children's summer camps in the USA Those aged between 19 and 35, with relevant experience of working with groups of children, can spend up to eight weeks teaching sporting, arts and dramatic activities at camp and have time to travel around North America afterwards For those who would rather work behind the
scenes, the KAMP programme places students in kitchen and maintenance positions Both
programmes include return transatlantic flights, free board and lodging and pocket-money
Work Australia offers 18-25 year olds with more time to spare the opporfunity to work and travel
"down under" for up to i2 months There are several deparlures from London or Los Angeles throughout August, September and October so it's an ideal programme for gap-year students or those who have just graduated You can even link it to one of the North American programmes to get the most out of the
experience

Unfortunately, many students overlook the value of taking a yeat off from their studies Far from being a year wasted, a gap year between school and university could actually be of benefit to your future, especially if you make the most of it by working and travelling abroad Not only are you likely to increase your self-confidence by living in another country, you'll add valuable work experience to your cv - a bonus when it comes to job hunting after college
Planning to take 12 to 15 months off need not be difficult if vou do r homework Although travelling or working abroad for voluntary orgarizations may prove expensive if you lack sufficient frrnds, it is possible to combine your travels with paid work experience
Since 1962, BLINAC, a non-profit organization, has enabled thousands of full-time students to
work in America, Canada and Australia each year There is a wide range of programmes to choose from and they are designed to be self-financing, so you should be able to earn back your inifial expenses
and have sufficient money to pay for your post-work travels
Work America and Work Canada are open to full time students and those who have postponed their entry and have a place at a university for the following year Those taking part in the programme can take almost any job anywhere for the suflrmer (up to 12 months in Canada) It is even
(12)possible to pack fish in Alaska, if that appealsl Most howevet, lvould tend to work in temporary
-jobs within the tourism industry, mainly in restaurants and hotels
BLINACAMP Counsellors places both students and non-students at children's summer camps in the USA Those aged between 19 and 35, with relevant experience of working with groups of children, can spend up to eight weeks teaching sporting, arts and dramatic activities at camp and have time to travel around North America afterwards For those who would rather work behind the
scenes, the KAMP programme places students in kitchen and maintenance positions Both
programmes include return transatlantic flights, free board and lodging and pocket-money
Work Australia offers 18-25 year olds with more time to spare the opportunity to work and tmvel
"down under" for up to 12 months There are several departures from London or Los Angeles thLroughout
August, September and October so it's an ideal programme for gap-year students or those who have just
graduated You can even link it to one of the North American prograrnmes to get the most out of the
experience
Kathryn Jackson spent a year traveliing around Australia 'My most enjoyable job in Australia was as a
receptionist, cook and cleaner at "Backpack Australia" , a crazy place in Adelaide,' said Kathryn 'I left there
with great memories and a bursting address book.'
Over the next month Kathryn travelled around in a station wagon with friends 'We went diving at the Great Barrier reef, drove through sugarcane fields and tropical fruit plantations, watched the sunset over Ayers Rock and lived on cheese and jam sandwiches It was incredible!' On the importance of her year off
Kathrlm said, 'I feel my trip has taught me a lot- from the importance of tolerance and experiencing new
cultures to how to cook My self-confidence has improved arrrazingly.'
Taking a year off does require forward planning, so you'll need to apply this October for next year's
s11rnmff prograrnme BUNAC aranges visas, flights, aitport greetings and back-up support for participants, which makes organizing your trip very easy A11 you have to is decide w{rere you want to go!

The human body seems to have been designed for producing language The mouth is relatively
small and can be opened and closed rapidly, and the flexible tongue can be used to shape a wide variety
of sounds The teeth are upright, not slanting outwards like those of apes, and they are roughly even in
I).So can I
(14)height Such characteristics are not needed for eating but are extremely helpful in pronouncing sounds, such asl v and th The lips have much more intricate muscles than those of other primates, and their flexibility helps with sounds like p, b andw.
Many scholars have studied how the development of language is related to the evolutionary development of the human species One evolutionary step may have resulted in the development of a
vocal tract capable of producing the wide variety of sounds utilized by human language The assumption of an upright posture moved the head forward and the larynx, or "voice box," lower This created a longer cavity above the vocal cords, which acted as a resonator for any sounds produced by
the larynx
Another evolutionary step may have been development of a mechanism for perceiving and
distinguishing sounds However, the ability to hear speech sounds is not a necessary condition for the
acquisition and use of language Humans who are born deaf leam the sign languages that are used around them Still, all languages, including sign language, require the organizing and combining of sounds or signs in specific constructions
The human brain has specialized functions in each of its two hemispheres Those functions which are analyic, such as tool-using and language, are largely conlined to the left hemisphere of the

abilities of humans, and that both are related to the development of the brain
