VIII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each of the questions.
Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000
people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from
coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot. Today, London is much cleaner but there is a
new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution
increased. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new "out of town" shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to
shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. The
small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle lanes,
so people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce pollution and
costs.

makes things work faster and better, and it helps businesses make more money. The 5G wireless
network is going to make things even better. It will let us talk to each other and to machines in almost
real-time, even if we’re in different places. This is because 5G is super fast, has lots of bandwidth, and
is really reliable. This means we can do things like have video meetings with people who are far away
and control machines from a distance.
5G and IT are also helping us create smart cities all over the world. These cities have lots of devices,
like smartphones, cars, and machines, all connected to the network. The amount of information and

FORMS OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Non-verbal communication can take many forms. Effectiveness in communication depends on
understanding what these forms might be and how their meanings may differ between countries.
Eye contact
In many Asian cultures, avoiding eye contact is seen as a sign of respect. However, those in
Latin and North America consider eye contact important for showing equality among individuals. In
Ghana, if a young child looks an adult in the eye, it is considered an act of a stubborn child.
Touch
A great number of cultural expressions are shown through touch. In America, for example,
using a firm handshake is considered appropriate to greet a stranger or business partner. However, in
France, it is common to kiss someone you greet on both cheeks. Touching children on the head is fine
in North America. However, in Asia, this is considered inappropriate because the head is an important
part of the body. In the Middle East, the left hand is often used to clean the body so using that hand to
receive a gift or shake hands is considered very rude.
Facial Expressions
Winking is a facial expression which has different meanings. In Latin America, it is considered
a romantic gesture while people in Nigeria wink at their children if they want them to leave the room.
Posture
In America, standing with hands on the hips may suggest power or pride, but in Argentina, it
