	The forms of behaviour used in body language include body posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements.
	Body language may provide clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. For example, it may indicate aggression, attentiveness, boredom, a relaxed state, pleasure, amusement, and intoxication.

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.
	When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it
	is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed 	to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. 	Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years 	ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds 	and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all 	other animals.
	Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. “They” did 	not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that 	required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.
	Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and 	temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many 	entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open 	air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated 	and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 	years after it was discovered.
	37. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
	A. Wild Animals in Art	B. Hidden Prehistoric Paintings	
	C. Exploring Caves Respectfully	D. Determining the Age of French Caves
	38. According to the passage, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?
	A. Birds	B. Bison	C. Horses	D. Wild cats
	39. In line 12, the word “They” refers to _______.
	A. Walls	B. Artists	C. Animals	D. Materials
	40. What does the passage say happened at the Lascaux caves in 1963?
	A. Visitors were prohibited from entering.	B. A new lighting system was installed.
	C. Another part was discovered.	D. A new entrance was created.

Questions 5–11 refer to the following story.
"Did you see that?" Joe said to his friend Bill. "You're a great shooter!"
Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net.
"Bill, you never miss!" Joe said admiringly.
"Unless I'm in a real game," Bill complained. "Then I miss all the time."
Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun
with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.
"Maybe you just need to practice more," Joe suggested.
"But I practice all the time with you!" Bill objected. He shook his head. "I just can't
play well when people are watching me."
"You play well when I'm watching," Joe pointed out.
"That's because I've known you since we were five years old," Bill said with a smile. "I'm just not
comfortable playing when other people are around."
Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself.
"Practice without me," Joe said to his friend. "I'll be back in a minute."
Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a math teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor.
When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help.
Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school's basketball court. As Joe
had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the
silent people standing behi
