Complete the passage by changing the form of the word in capitals.

Vietnamese people generally shake hands when greeting and (PART) (0) ...parting... Using both hands shows respect, as does a slight bow of the head. In rural areas, elderly people who do not extend their hand are greeted with a slight bow. Women are more likely to bow their head (SLIGHT) 17.1 than to shake hands. Vietnamese names begin with the family name and are followed by a given name. People address one another by their given names, but add a title that indicates their perceived (RELATION) 17.2 to the other person. These titles are family related rather than professional. Among colleagues, for example, the younger of the two might combine the given name with the title of Anh (Older Brother). A basic (GREET) 17.3 combined with the given name and the title is Xin chao (Hello). Classifiers for gender and familiarity are also combined with the greeting. In formal meetings, business cards are sometimes exchanged on greeting. Vietnamese have a strong sense of (HOSPITABLE) 17.4 and feel embarrassed if they cannot show their guests full respect by preparing for their arrival. Therefore, it is (APPROPRIATE) 17.5 to visit a home without having been invited. Gifts are not required but are appreciated. Flowers, incense, or tea may be appropriate gifts for the hosts. Hosts also appreciate a small gift for their children or elderly parents.

Read the following passage and fill in each blank with ONE suitable word.

In the past, many specialists believed that students could become more successful learners if they understood the learning methods that matched their individual preferences. Since the 1980s, researchers 19.1 identified several learning styles, including visual, verbal, auditory, and kinesthetic approaches. For 19.2, kinesthetic learners tend to gain knowledge more effectively through physical activities and hands-on experiences.

Over the years, 19.3, these theories have gradually lost credibility. According to educational psychologist Dr. Lorna Mulhall, they are no longer considered relevant in modern educational research. 19.4 of relying exclusively on a single learning style, adopting a more adaptable and versatile approach is generally regarded as 19.5 beneficial.

From her professional perspective, Dr. Mulhall emphasizes that active engagement is often the most significant factor in academic achievement. Studies suggest that one of the most effective ways to master a concept should be to imagine teaching it to 19.6 person. She advises learners to consider 19.7 they would explain the information in a classroom setting because teaching requires a thorough understanding of the subject.

Dr. Mulhall also advocates several fundamental learning strategies. These include selecting an appropriate study environment, 19.8 well-organized notes, and allowing time for regular breaks. She points out that there is a stage 19.9 which the brain can no longer process additional information efficiently, making it necessary to switch to a different activity 19.10 returning to study.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

In the history of technology, computers and calculators were innovative developments. They are essentially different from all other machines because they have a memory. This memory stores instructions and information. In a calculator, the instructions are the various functions of arithmetic, which are permanently remembered by the machine and cannot be altered or added to. The information consists of the numbers keyed in.

An electronic pocket calculator can perform almost instant arithmetic. A calculator requires an input unit to feed in numbers, a processing unit to make the calculation, a memory unit, and an output unit to display the result. The calculator is powered by a small battery or by a panel of solar cells. Inside is a microchip that contains the memory and processing units and also controls the input unit, which is the keyboard, and the output unit, which is the display.

The input unit has keys for numbers and operations. Beneath the keys is a printed circuit board containing a set of contacts for each key. Pressing a key closes the contacts and sends a signal along a pair of lines in the circuit board to the processing unit, in which the binary code for that key is stored in the memory. The processing unit also sends the code to the display. Each key is connected by a different pair of lines to the processing unit, which repeatedly checks the lines to find out when a pair is linked by a key.

The memory unit stores the arithmetic instructions for the processing unit and holds the temporary results that occur during calculation. Storage cells in the memory unit hold the binary codes for the keys that have been pressed. The number codes, together with the operation code for the plus key, are held in temporary cells until the processing unit requires them.

When the equals key is pressed, it sends a signal to the processing unit. This takes the operation code - for example, addition - and the two numbers being held in the memory unit and performs the operation on the two numbers. A full adder does the addition, and the result goes to the decoder in the calculator's microchip. This code is then sent to the liquid crystal display unit, which shows the result, or output, of the calculation.

What is the main purpose of the passage?

To summarize the history of technology
To discuss innovative developments in technology
To explain how a calculator works
To compare computers and calculators with other machines

It can be inferred from the passage that machines that are not calculators or computers _____.

are older than computers
can not store information in a memory

locations
codes
commands
connections

According to the passage, one function of the memory unit is _____.

to send codes to the display unit
to control the keyboard
to store temporary results during calculation
to alter basic arithmetic instructions

Which of the following could NOT be said about calculators?

Calculators require a lot of instructions to operate quickly.
Calculators and computers are similar.
The calculator's "thinking" takes place in the processing and memory units.
Pressing a key activates a calculator.

Some phrases/sentences have been removed from the text below. Complete the text by writing letters A-G. There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use.

Sentences A-G

A. Many supermarkets and markets have completely offered products made from high-quality plastic

B. Plastic bags are highly resistant to natural decomposition, often remaining in the environment for nearly 400 years before they break down completely

C. Numerous wildlife species mistakenly identify plastic bags as food and ingest them, a behavior that frequently causes internal injuries, starvation, and eventual death

D. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets

E. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place in the future because of the plastic bags

F. People have shorter lives than plastic bags which are said to always be here as a result of their convenience for daily shopping

G. Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods

Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to use them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth. 25.1 Every once in a while, the government passes an order banning store owners from providing plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. 25.2

About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the environment. 25.3 And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes.

About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, and penguins are killed every year due to these bags. 25.4 And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal. One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. 25.5 No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic!

How to Give an Effective Presentation

When planning an effective presentation, there are a number of things to keep in mind.

A. First ask yourself, "Why am I giving this presentation?" The point of your presentation may be to outline a project plan, report on work that has been done, solve a problem, provide training, or generate support for an idea. Once you are clear on the reason for your presentation, it will be easier to organize your information.

B. If you are not used to giving presentations, you may feel nervous. There are a few things you can do to counteract this. The most important thing is to rehearse your presentation several times until you feel comfortable with it. Before you begin speaking, take a few deep breaths. This will help you relax. Stand up straight and look your audience in the eye. Most of all, don't try to be perfect. This is an impossible goal.

C. Even though you may be using a microphone, you still need to pay attention to your voice. Talk slowly and clearly. Pause often to give your audience time to absorb the information. Do not garble your words or talk so quickly that no one can follow you.

D. There is no better way to lose your audience than to stand at the front of the room and talk on and on but give them nothing to look at. Plan to use presentation software to show charts and graphs, photographs, maps, or other graphics that will make your ideas clearer. This is particularly important for numbers, but it is also useful for other kinds of information.

E. Before you begin your presentation, remember to check the microphone, computer, and any other special tools you may be using. Make sure everything is in working order before you start talking so that there will be no interruptions due to breakdowns.

F. Something that is often overlooked but that is very important for an effective presentation is the location setup. Make sure that the seating is placed so that it allows everyone to see your slides and hear your voice. The chairs should be comfortable, too.
