Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answersheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following the questions.
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas,North America and Europe, recycling
is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the
environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling
movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs,boxes and
expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things
that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-
quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new
ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality
appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if
a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the
manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers,
empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash
them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of
the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have
relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used
again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum
can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new
cans),they help save one of the world's precious resources.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answersheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following the questions.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions.
This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them.
Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others.
But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in
Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area,people speak and understand
substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share
a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human

species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such
far- flung places as Argentina, Japan,Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the
jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim
that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness,fear,anger, disgust,
contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are,however, huge differences across cultures in both the
context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for
example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative ones- while many
American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however,
emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior. From their first days of life,
babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to
facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s
faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a
basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some
emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that
certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do
you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans,this might indicate disgust,
while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a
Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional
expressions.
