Passage One
A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his girl friend. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to send her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money.

Passage Two
Nonverbal communication has to do with gestures, movements, and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that these gestures, movements, and so forth have the meaning our words do not carry.
For example, the physical distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are being “pushy” because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, whereas the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. In the Middle East it is considered flirtatious(调情) for a woman to allow a man to look at her in the eye. This “eye contact”provides another example of what we’re calling nonverbal communication. A social psychologist has observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in you rather than the amount of interest he has in the thing you are talking about.

A. gestures

A. talk loudly

38. While they are talking, the North Americans tend to ____C____ .
A. talk loudly
B. be close to each other
C. keep a certain distance between them
D. be cold
39. It would be considered ____D____ in the Middle East, if a woman allows a man to look at her in the eye.
A. polite
B. impolite
C. acceptable
D. unacceptable
40. More eye contacts may indicate all of the following except that __B______.
A. people like each other
B. people are interested in the topic
C. people are interested in each other
D. people want to keep talking
