the correct answer to each of the questions.
BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the
words they are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in
our voice to communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many
gestures are culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries.
If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and
shake it to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger
or snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
In France, you shouldn't rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your
hands in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show
the soles of your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use
your right hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom.
In Bangladesh, the 'thumbs-up' is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by
clapping, and in India, whistling in public is considered rude.

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.
One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are
dangerous or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of paint has a
harmful effect on painters, but it doesn't bother a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power plants
and in undersea research stations that might be dangerous for humans. Already, robots are
working in the plastics industry and in chemical and industrial equipment industries. One of the
most common uses of robots is still in automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or
dangerous work. These kinds of industrial robots are not usually mobile. The work they need to
do is brought to them, like cars on an assembly line, for example.
The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s, Japan' led the world in
robot production with more than 71,000 industrial robots at work. Both the United States and
Japan, as well as other countries, continue to develop more advanced robots. Robots can now be
made to perform more complex jobs. Robots can make decisions while they are working and learn
from their mistakes. Robots can now see with TV camera "eyes." They can easily hear and can
even speak using a voice made by a computer. But it is difficult to make a robot "understand."

very complex. They will be able to perform many humanlike tasks. Robots and other technology
