When there is a language barriers communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas.

They were small inns built along the road. Later, as people began to travel by train, hotels were built in the centers of large cities. Usually near rail-road stations, these hotels were many stories tall and had hundreds of rooms.Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place. Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have parking space for so many cars.People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a hotel. The answer to the motorists' problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTEL.Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more convenient for people traveling. The separate units also made them quieter than hotels. Best of all, there was more than enough room for cars to park.Now, many big hotels in the cities are being torn down. They can no longer make enough money to stay in business. In their place, many small motels have been built on the outskirts of cities. Motels have become a big business in the United States.26. The first hotels were built ______.A. with hundreds of rooms.B. around the city centers.C. not far away from roads.D. near railway stations.27. Hotels became less popular because they usually did not have _______.A. a place for cars to park inB. large enough rooms for big families.C. sufficient ground rooms.D. quiet and convenient units.28. Motels are usually _______.A. large, high buildings built in the downtown area.B. small, low buildings built along highways outside the city.C. small, high buildings built on the outskirts.D. large, low buildings built around city center.29. The reason why many big hotels are being torn down is that _______.A. it costs too much money to stay in a hotel.B. people need the materials to build small motels.C. they are losing their competition to motels.D. cities are usually short of land for building motels.30. On the whole, this passage is about ______.A.. the reason why a new kind of hotel came into being.B. motorists' problems out on the highwayC. which place is better for people to stay for the night.D. how to find a place to park your car during travel.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:The flight service crew members should always deal with the passengers and with each other in a professional and dignified manner. It is necessary to avoid excessive familarity with passengers. The cabin crew must also pay careful attention to their personal appearance during the flight. The airlines consider good grooming to be representative of the flight attendants' good will and personal pride.When the cabin crew is making its periodic checks, the passengers will often have questions about service, schedules, routes, and weather. The cabin attendants try to answer these questions pleasantly, and they should avoid airline jargon with which the passengers may not be familiar. In addition to making the regular cabin checks, the attendants should answer call buttons promptly and courteously.The cabin attendants are also responsible for the neatness and cleanliness of the passenger cabins. They keep the cabin, the lavatories, and the galleys clean at all times and clear of briefcases, purses, galley equipment, and so on. Cabin attendants report any item of equipment that is not working properly to the flight engineer.31. How should the flight service crew deal with the passengers and with each other?A.

The cabin attendants should avoid airline jargon when they answer passengers' questions.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:There are standards of grooming for each airline, and they are clearly stated. There are differences from one company to another, but the general rules apply to most, since this is a major grooming concern. The important thing is that there should be an attractive, simple style reflecting current fashion. Extremes are to be avoided, as are styles that would interfere with proper wearing of the hat. The style must be maintained; if a stewardess does not have the time to do this properly, she must choose a more manageable style.Hair length is a matter of individual preference. The length should look well with the uniform, and it should suit the wearer. The hair may not be worn long and loose. It should not fall forward on to the face while serving meals and drinks.
