Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North America people don’t generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect. Americans who don’t know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them. Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm - or move any other part of the body - to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures Mã đề 683 Page 2/5

When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal preference. In other families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child’s name. In some cases, the time of a child’s birth influences how the child’s name is determined. In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents’ choice for their child’s name may be based on names of their relatives or ancestors. For example, in Italy, children are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father’s parents’ names first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother’s parents’ names. Similarly, some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death. Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child’s grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the child’s name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child’s name is chosen to influence the child’s character. For example, names may be based on a connection to certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness. In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child’s name. In Ghana’s Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child’s name. But each day has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua mean “wanderer” or “explorer.” Children with these names are seen as travelers. No matter where the name comes from, a child’s name is the first gift in life. Whether the name is chosen according to preference or dictated by tradition, it reflects something about a child’s culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected. Question 39. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of child naming around the world B. The tradition of child naming in different cultures C. The choice of name for a child in Asia D. The practice of child naming in Europe Question 40. According to the passage, in many European cultures, names are typically selected by______. A. grandparents B. relatives C. ancestors D. parents Question 41. The word "means" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________. A. sign B. way C. symbol D. route Question 42. What is a common belief in some Asian countries concerning the tradition of naming a child? A. A child’s name must include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness. B. The choice of a child’s name is believed to have an impact on his or her personality. C. The choice of a child’s name should be based on names of his or her relatives. D. A child’s name shouldn’t be connected with certain elements of nature. Question 43. Which of the following about the tradition of child naming in African countries is NOT true according to the passage? A. Children receive the same name if they are born on the same day. B. The arrival time of a child is an important factor in deciding his or her name. C. No matter how a child’s name is chosen, it is related to his or her culture. D. Children born on Friday are normally given names meaning traveling. Mã đề 683 Page 4/5
