At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the

passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear

marked A), B), C) and D).

Passage One

The gestures are used to emphasize an idea or emotion, especially while speaking. Gestures are of great help as people are in a lack of words while trying to express their thoughts, emotions and feelings. While one is talking, he or she considers every sentence and word. Before one says some words, he thinks them over in order not to hurt someone or say something wrong. The vocabulary of a person is rather broad and contains millions of words that help us to express anything we want. According to the scientists, the average person uses about thirteen thousand of words in his everyday communication. One may say that thirteen thousand is a rather big number, but consider the fact that the average dictionary of a certain language contains about 600,000 words. That means we don't use even a half of the words in our language. So, it is common that sometimes we are in a lack of words to express something. As it happens, we start to express our feelings through different gestures. Gestures are the reflection of inner feelings we have but not able to express or try to hide. So, the gestures are a silent language. During our entire life we are wearing masks that help us to hide the feelings and thoughts. But, no matter what a skilful liar a person is, no one is able to control his gestures.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.

will help people _____ to express their

thoughts and feelings.

A．who cannot speak a foreign language
