Reading Part 1Read the article. Select the correct response for questions 11-15:

Body Talk!

To communicate well with people of other countries, you must learn to speak well, right? Yes, but speaking isnt everything. Some experts say only thirty percent of communication comes from talking. Your gestures and other non-verbal actions matter, too.

But in different cultures, the same action can have different meanings. When you have to meet someone in a different culture, be prepared. Do you know what kind of gestures and customs are appropriate?

Lets look at shaking hands. North Americans like a firm handshake. But the French prefer a light, short handshake. If you shake a French persons hand the North American way, he or she may not like it. People in Eastern European countries and some Latino cultures prefer shorter handshakes, too. Hugging after shaking hands is also a common introduction there. Dont be surprised if a Brazilian gives you a hug. If you misinterpret gestures of introduction, your friendship may get off on the wrong foot!

Everyone around the world knows the OK hand gesture, dont they? But in Spain, parts of South America, and Eastern Europe, the OK sign is considered rude. And if you go shopping in Japan, it means youd like your change in coins instead of bills. In France, making the OK sign means zero or that something is worthless. So check before you use the OK sign to make sure its OK!

Understanding even a few key gestures from different cultures can make you a better communicator. So next time you travel, try being culturally sensitive. Find out a local gesture and let your body talk.

Reading Part 2Read the article. Select the correct response for questions 16-20:Comics: Trash or Treasure?

In Japan they call them manga; in Latin America, historietas; in Brazil, historia em quadrinhos; and in the U.S., comics. But no matter what you call them, comics are a favorite source of pleasure in many parts of the world.

In case youre wondering how popular comics are, the best-selling comic title in the U.S. sells about 4.5 million copies a year. All of Mexicos comic titles together sell over 7 million copies a week. But Japan is by far the leading publisher of comics in the world. Manga account for nearly forty percent of all the books and magazines published in Japan each year. And few magazines of any kind in the world can match this number: Shonen Jump, the leading comic title, has a circulation of 6.5 million copies per week!

Ever since comics first appeared, there have been people who have criticized them. In the 1940s and 50s, many people believed that comics were immoral and that they caused bad behavior among young people. Even today, many question whether young people should read them at all. They argue that reading comics encourages bad reading habits.

But some educators see comics as a way to get teenagers to choose reading instead of television and video games. And because of the art, a number of educators have argued that comics are a great way to get children to think creatively. More recent research has suggested that the combination of visuals and text in comics may be one reason young people handle computers and related software so easily.

In Japan, the Education Ministry calls comics a part of Japans national culture, recognized and highly regarded abroad. Comics are increasingly being used for educational purposes, and many publishers see them as a useful way of teaching history and other subjects.

No matter how you view them, comics remain a guilty pleasure for millions worldwide.
