Exercise 1:

Jean spent her first few years in Hooper and her family moved to Otsego early in her life She was only ten when her father died unexpectedly, leaving her mother to raise and support their family alone Her mother soon went to work outside the home to provide for the family, and Jean, being one of the oldest, had to help care for her younger siblings Although she had much responsibility at home, Jean thoroughly enjoyed school and was an excellent student She went on to graduate 10th in her class at Otsego High School in 1953

While still in high school, Jean met a young man named Charles "Chuck" Holly, at a dance in Alamo; and they were quite taken with each other Over the next few years, their love for each other blossomed and they were married on February 24, 1953, while Jean was still in school At the time, Chuck was serving his country in the military, and had come home on leave to marry his sweetheart Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, he was sent overseas to serve in Korea for the next fifteen months

Upon his discharge, the couple settled into married life together in the Plainwell, Otsego area To help make ends meet, Jean went to work at the collection bureau in Kalamazoo for a while, before taking a job at the cheese company in Otsego In 1964, Chuck and Jean were overjoyed with the birth of their son, Chuck, who brought great joy into their lives Jean remembered how her mother was always gone so much working after her father died and she did not want that for her son, so she left her job to devote herself to the role of a mother

I was born to dance I've been dancing all my life, ever since my mother, who gave up a dancing career on the stage when she married my father, picked me up and twirled me around as an infant As much as I loved dancing with her, her greatest gift to me was her "unconditional love" during her lifetime

My parents divorced after only years of marriage, but my father remarried a lovely lady who also loved to dance They used to take me to a dancing club where I would listen to the music and watch them dance-occasionally my stepmother, Mary, invited me to dance I also met my wife, Charlotte, in a dancing party I danced with her for about 15 minutes, and during that brief span, I realized that I fell in love with her We kept dancing throughout our marriage My earliest memories of dancing with my daughters started when I came home from work to our small home in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and my daughter Laura was about years old It was very relaxing for me To turn on the record player, pick up Laura in my arms, and dance her around the room!

Our family danced a lot My daughters, Laura and Anne, and I continued to dance on every occasion One favorite memory I have of dancing with Laura and Anne was when I took each of them when they were seniors in high school to the Daddy-Daughter dance We won both dance competitions!

(54)

for happy and successful adult lives Being a father who is worthy of their love and respect, I consider fatherhood a privilege, not an entitlement

In 1994, my oldest daughter Laura gave me a lovely book, which I still have, entitled "Fathers and Daughters." My Father's Day suggestion to every father is to dance with your daughters at every opportunity It will not only bring you closer, it will give them memories of you “to hang onto" long after we are gone

Exercise 3:

When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes

If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general They basically have the same roots In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you You not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you

Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles Talk with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression Let her understand you better through the things that you like Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences

1 A spouse should

A let the partner to everything alone B be not only a lover but also a friend

Exercise 4:

In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages Marriages were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage

In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants Moreover early marriage is quite illegal

The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and eastern elements Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds Several special dishes are served Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting

Exerciser 5:

Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal

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 We can learn from the text that

A nonverbal can never get any responses B most people not like nonverbal communication

C even silence has message value D touching is not accepted in communicating Human beings

A have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books B can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature

C have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child

D communicate in nonverbal language much less than they in verbal language The word reading has a close meaning to

A looking at the words that are written B understanding

C saying something aloud D expressing

Exercise 6:

Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and face are the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control 'It is estimated that there are over 200.000physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning

Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech

(57)

Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or reject the spoken word If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate

1 Which part of body is not used to send body message?

A faces B legs C hands D stomachs

2 Face gestures

A can help us control our feelings B are the most difficult to control

C cannot express our feelings D not include eye brow moments

C dominates words D is less common than verbal communication Exercise 7:

In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around for a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy A solar car is a vehicle powered by photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into electrical energy As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth of one second (.001), the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our planet's energy needs for the next 5,000 years It is a staggering fact, and an exciting one Since the energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources such as wind, tides, and heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the entire energy crisis Despite the appearance that solar energy may be the least feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar powered devices and more specifically solar powered cars are beginning to be developed How Solar Cars work?

The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight This action generates heat, which the cells then convert into electrical energy and stores in an on-board battery This process of conversion is called the photovoltaic effect Not surprisingly, such a vehicle has zero emissions, and is very environmentally friendly Unfortunately, at the moment photovoltaic cells are extremely inefficient, yet as time progresses the efficiency of these cells will grow This will make solar energy and solar cars the fuel and car of the future-a closer reality

Exercise 17:

A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans In hot deserts, high temperatures cause rapid loss of water due to sweating, and the absence of water sources with which to replenish it can result in dehydration and death within a few days In addition, unprotected humans are also at risk from heatstroke

(65)

Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts 'their home for thousands of years, including the Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people Modern technology, including advanced irrigation systems, desalinization and air conditioning, has made deserts much more hospitable, In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming has found extensive use

In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the absence of a source of heat to melt ice for drinking Falling through pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent rapid hypothermia Starvation is also a hazard; in low temperatures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat and to move As with hot deserts, some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts

Exercise 18:

Approximately one-third of the Earth's land surface is desert, arid land with meager rainfall that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals Deserts have been portrayed as fascinating environments of adventure and exploration These arid regions are called deserts because they are dry They may be hot They may be cold They may be regions of sand or vast areas of rocks with occasional plants

Deserts are natural laboratories in which to study the interactions of wind and sometimes water on the arid surfaces of planets They contain valuable mineral deposits that were formed in the arid environment or that were exposed by erosion Because deserts are dry, they are ideal places for human artifacts and fossils to be preserved Deserts are also fragile environments The misuse of these lands is a serious and growing problem in parts of our world

There are many animals in the desert Some are very large, like the kangaroo or the gazelle Both are big and have to travel long distances for water at a spring, or an oasis Another fairly large animal is the addax The addax is a desert antelope They live in the Sahara Desert All addaxes are herbivores There are less than 200 of them left because of hunting and tourists Some animals crawl along Examples of these are snakes and lizards Snakes rarely drink water; they get their moisture from other prey that they eat So others, like the kangaroo rat Lizards are commonly found in the desert They stay out of the sun and move as little as possible There are also other animals in the desert The fennec lives in northern Africa in the Sahara Desert They are a relative of the fox They eat mice, small birds, lizards, and insects When necessary, they will eat fruit One more desert animal is the jerboa The jerboa is a small, long distance jumper that lives in the desert They are free drinking animals and they eat plants, seeds, and bugs

Exercise 19:

Asian elephants used to live in the forests from Iraq to Southern China Since these forests were cut down to make room for farms and villages, the elephants had to live in small, hilly regions These small areas cannot supply enough food for them An adult elephant eats about 331 pounds of grasses, leaves and other plants each day When forests were larger, Asian elephants migrated with the seasons In this way, they found new food supplies The plants and trees could also grow again after elephants left

Today, there is nowhere for the elephants to go Experts say that the Asian elephant population is about 55,000 living on a habitat of about 19,000 square miles (30,400 square kilometres) In contrast to this, the African elephant population is about 10 times this size and live on almost million square miles (4.8 million square kilometers) of available habitat

Exercise 20:

By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today In recent centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities The passenger pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its extinction in 1914 The North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate Bison survive today only because of the efforts of early conservationists

(67)

pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs The list which conservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we not yet know Hundreds of species without common names have been left out, which means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are included

Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the humble thick-shell pond snail Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of life All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and beauty of our world is diminished And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens people as well According to the first paragraph _

It is a short, simply-worded document containing just five articles It declares the establishment of an Association for Regional Cooperation among the Countries of Southeast Asia to be known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and spells out the aims and purposes of that Association These aims and purposes are about the cooperation in economy, society, culture, techniques, education and other fields, and in the promotion of regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the principles of the United Nations Charter It stipulates that the Association will be open for participation by all States in the Southeast Asian region subscribing to its aims, principles and purposes It proclaims ASEAN as representing the collective will of the nations of Southeast Asia to bind themselves together in friendship and cooperation and, through joint efforts and sacrifices, secure for their peoples and for posterity the blessings of peace, freedom and prosperity The goal of ASEAN, then, is to create, not to destroy

The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one for each founding member Beneath the sheaves is the legend "ASEAN" in blue These are set on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border Brown stands for strength and stability, yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which ASEAN affairs are conducted When ASEAN celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 1997, the sheaves on the logo had increased to ten -representing all ten countries of Southeast Asia and reflecting the colors of the flags of all of them In a very real sense, ASEAN and Southeast Asia will be one and the same, just as the founders had envisioned
