KEEPING YOUR DISTANCE
Personal space is a term that refers to the distance we like to
keep between ourselves and other people. When someone we do not
know well gets too close that we usually begin to feel uncomfortable.
If such a business colleague comes closer than 1.2 meters, the most
common response is to move away. Some interesting studies have
been done in libraries. If strangers will come too close, many people
get up and leave the building, others use to different methods such as
turning their back on the intruder. Living in cities has made people to
develop new skills for dealing with situations where they are very
close to strangers. Most people on so crowded trains try not to look at
strangers; they avoid skin contract, and apologize if hands touch by a
mistake. People use newspapers as a barrier between themselves and
other people, and if they do not have one, they stare into the distance,
making sure they are not looking into anyone's eyes.

Part B: Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four options marked A,
B, C or D.
As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production of
pictures, computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computer
science. It is used routinely in such diverse areas as business, industry, art, government,
education, research, training, and medicine.
One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as
an aid to design, generally to referred to as computer-aided design (CAD). One of its greatest
advantages is that designers can see how an object will look after construction and make changes
freely and much more quickly than with hand drafting. For three-dimensional rendering of
machine parts, engineers now rely heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft, aerospace, and ship
designers use CAD techniques to design vehicles and test their performance. Building designs
are also created with computer graphics system. Architects can design a building layout, create a
three-dimensional model, and even go for a simulated 'walk' through the rooms or around the
outside of the building.
Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used
to create graphs, charts, and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical,
scientific, and economic data. As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create
weather maps and cartographic materials. Computer art also has creative and commercial art
applications, where it is used in advertising, publishing, and film productions, particularly for
computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential process.
