Non-verbal business communication is an essential part of how we communicate. One famous (and often misunderstood) study from the 1960s estimated that the emotional content and interpretation of about 93 percent of human communication is significantly influenced by body language, attitude, and tone, with only 7 percent of the emotional content relying solely on the actual words that are used. While the study focused on the emotions, not the literal meanings, behind what we communicate, this is still significant. 
In the world of business too, as well as in our everyday lives, non-verbal communication expresses a range of emotional content that we wish to convey. When we shake hands upon meeting someone, for instance, it usually signifies that we are pleased to see or meet them and often reinforces verbal utterances like, “It’s great to see/meet you.” 
But the COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult to convey the emotions we can normally show through our culturally diverse repertoire of body language. As a result, people have been coming up with creative solutions like the “Wuhan shake” or the “air handshake.” Some voices in the media have even been asking if the “new normal” might mark the end of the traditional handshake. 
The truth is that the pandemic has not changed the use of body language and other nonverbal communication in the world of business or in human interaction in general. It is simply escalating the changes that have already been happening or were bound to happen at some point. Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage? 
Emotional Content and Interpretation 
When We Shake Hands 
How COVID-19 is changing the way we communicate 
Solutions to Life with COVID-19 Pandemic

they’re part of non-verbal business communication

they’re faster than the actual words that are used

Question 33: The word “significant” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. noteworthy 	B. temporary 	C. appropriate 	D. independent 
Question 34: The word “that” in paragraph 2 refers to ______. 
A. business 	 	B. everyday lives 
C. non-verbal communication 	D. emotional content 
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic? 
It’s more difficult to convey the emotions by body language. 
People have created the “Wuhan shake” and the “air handshake.” 
The use of body language and other non-verbal communication has been changed.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. 
Among the various summer schools and seminars in existence, a special position is held by the International Summer School in Oslo. For the past 20 years, students and teachers have gathered here from around the world. With regard to the number of courses, the quality of the lecturers and the type of participants, this Summer School undoubtedly holds a respected position. 
In the space of six weeks in Norway, participants from almost all continents had the opportunity to live and study together. They studied not only their particular subjects in the special courses, the general aspects of Norway, its people and their way of life, but they also had a unique occasion for the exchange of experiences and thoughts ranging over a wide area. 
Today, when we are striving for the full affirmation of active peaceful coexistence— creating, developing and accepting conditions for forming a real international community—every action in the field of international understanding holds importance. Thus the gathering of nations in Oslo ideally presents the opportunity for the creating of the new ideas needed for cooperation and understanding. The problem is to avoid accepting the existing status quo in world relations. During the international evenings, chats after lectures, various discussions and, most important, during personal talks each person had the opportunity to comprehend and finally accept some of his friends’ ideas which at firsts appeared to be so strangely different. 
The system of studies in different countries, problems of living standards, economic politics, political freedom and, what is more important, ideological orientation was clarified for many of us after six weeks of living together. The 42 days of lectures, conversations in the cafeteria, and excursions laid a strong foundation for the development of new friendships. The need for cooperation and broader contact has become clearer to most of the participants. 
After the end of school, the small international society of Blindern composed of a mixture of people from East and West, the North and South of the world will disappear. Each returns to his respective country, but the rich and useful experiences prove how urgently international friendship is needed today, and that it must be striven for and achieved. 
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage?

A school must have people from East and West, the North and South of the world. 
Experiences students have got at school must be rich and useful.
