Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Whether one is awake or asleep, the brain emits electrical waves. These waves occur in
predictable sleep cycles that can be measured with an electroencephalograph, known more
commonly as an EEG. During wakefulness, the waves are recorded at about ten small waves per
second, but with the onset of sleep, the waves become larger and slower. The largest, slowest
waves occur during the first three hours of sleep when mental activity slows down but does not
stop. In fact, if awakened from slow-wave sleep, a person can often remember vague thoughts that
occurred during that period of sleep, but the sleeper does not generally dream. Referred to as
NREM or non-REM sleep, it is characterized by large, slow waves.
During sleep, intervals of small, fast waves also occur in patterns similar to those
experienced while awake. The eyes move rapidly, and it appears to the observer that the sleeper is
watching some event. Sleepers who are awakened during this rapid-eye-movement sleep will often
recall the details of dreams they have been having. Sleep of this kind is called dreaming sleep or
rapid-eye-movement sleep, also known as REM sleep. REM sleep is emotionally charged. The heart
beats irregularly, and blood pressure may be elevated. In contrast, the body is so still that the
dreamer may appear to be paralyzed.
In a period of eight hours, most sleepers experience from three to five instances of REM
sleep. Each instance lasts from five to thirty minutes with an interval of at least ninety minutes
Edited by Nguyen Minh Hien
between each one. Later instances of REM sleep are usually of longer duration than are instances
earlier in the eight-hour period.
Since people who suffer sleep deprivation experience fatigue, irritability, and loss of
concentration, we must conclude that sleep is essential because in some way it regenerates the
brain and the nervous system. NREM sleep increases after physical exertion, whereas REM sleep
tends to increase after a stressful day. Studies suggest that non-REM sleep may be especially
helpful in restoring muscle control, whereas REM sleep may be more important in revitalizing
mental activity. It appears that both kinds of sleep are necessary, and the recuperation of sleep of
one kind will not compensate for a lack of the other kind of sleep.
Question 33: What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?
A. To describe REM sleep
B. To explain sleep deprivation
C. To discuss the two types of sleep
D. To recommend an increase in the number of
hours of sleep
Question 34: The word “vague” in line 4 could best be replaced by
A. familiar
B. indefinite
C. unpleasant
D. detailed
Question 35: How many times per night do most sleepers experience REM sleep?
A. Eight
B. Three to five
C. Five to thirty
D. Ninety
Question 36: The word “essential” is closest in meaning to
A. planned
B. natural
C. interesting
D. necessary
Question 37: Which response is NOT typical of REM sleep?
A. Irregular heartbeat
B. Dreams and visions
C. Movements in arms and legs
D. Higher blood pressure
Question 38: The word “it” refers to
A. deprivation
B. the brain
C. sleep
D.
concentration
Question 39: What does sleeplessness result in ?
A. tiredness, irritability, and loss of concentration B. fatigue, worry and loss of attention
C. tiredness, irritability and concentration
D. fatigue, irritability and concentration
Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that students who are writing term papers
A. require slow-wave sleep to increase mental activity
B. can stay up all night working and recover the sleep they need by sleeping for a few hours
the next afternoon.
C. need REM sleep to restore mental functioning
D. do not need as much sleep because of the heightened brain waves involved in creative
activity.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for
executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication.
Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not
Edited by Nguyen Minh Hien
enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their
foreign counterparts.
Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an
agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the
negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is
reached within the culture of the negotiation.
In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and
impersonal, it often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large
multimillion- dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The
American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal purveyor of information and cash, an
image that succeeds only in undermining the negotiation.
In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve
to confirm this stereotypical perception, while subverting the negotiator’s position. Two traits in
particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of
the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term
goals.
Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between
negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the
relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting
to know the other negotiator.
Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success
of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations,
they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.
Question 44: What is the author’s main point?
A. Negotiation is the process of reaching an agreement.
B. Foreign languages are important for international business.
C. Foreign perceptions of American negotiators are based on stereotypes.
D. American negotiators need to learn more about other cultures.
Question 45: What does the author mean by the statement in lines 2-4: “Americans, however,
have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same
level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign
counterparts”?
A. Training is not available for Americans who must interact in international negotiations.
B. Foreign businesspersons negotiate less effectively than Americans because of their
training.
C. Because their training is not as good, Americans are less successful as negotiators than
their international counterparts.
D. Foreign businesspersons do not like to negotiate with Americans, who are not well
trained.
Question 46: According to the author, what is the purpose of negotiation?
A. To undermine the other negotiator’s position B. To communicate back and forth
C.
To reach an agreement
D. To understand the culture of the
negotiators
Question 47: The word "undermining” is closest in meaning to
A. making known
B. making clear
C. making brief
D. making weak
Question 48: The word "that” refers to
A. bargaining
B. role
C. corporation
D. price
Question 49: According to the passage, how can American businesspersons improve their
negotiation skills?
A.By living in a foreign culture
B. By getting to know the negotiators
C.By compromising more often
D. By explaining the goals more clearly
Question 50: The American negotiator is described as all of the following EXCEPT
A.perceived by foreign negotiators as wealthy
B. willing to invest time in relationships
C. known for direct interactions
D. interested in short-term goals

dreamer may appear to be paralyzed.
In a period of eight hours, most sleepers experience from three to five instances of REM
sleep. Each instance lasts from five to thirty minutes with an interval of at least ninety minutes
Edited by Nguyen Minh Hien
between each one. Later instances of REM sleep are usually of longer duration than are instances
earlier in the eight-hour period.
Since people who suffer sleep deprivation experience fatigue, irritability, and loss of
concentration, we must conclude that sleep is essential because in some way it regenerates the
brain and the nervous system. NREM sleep increases after physical exertion, whereas REM sleep
tends to increase after a stressful day. Studies suggest that non-REM sleep may be especially
helpful in restoring muscle control, whereas REM sleep may be more important in revitalizing
mental activity. It appears that both kinds of sleep are necessary, and the recuperation of sleep of
one kind will not compensate for a lack of the other kind of sleep.

enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their
foreign counterparts.
Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an
agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the
negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is
reached within the culture of the negotiation.
In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and
impersonal, it often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large
multimillion- dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The
American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal purveyor of information and cash, an
image that succeeds only in undermining the negotiation.
In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve
to confirm this stereotypical perception, while subverting the negotiator’s position. Two traits in
particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of
the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term
goals.
Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between
negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the
relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting
to know the other negotiator.
Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success
of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations,
they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

Question 45: What does the author mean by the statement in lines 2-4: “Americans, however,

A. Training is not available for Americans who must interact in international negotiations.
B. Foreign businesspersons negotiate less effectively than Americans because of their
training.
C. Because their training is not as good, Americans are less successful as negotiators than
their international counterparts.
D. Foreign businesspersons do not like to negotiate with Americans, who are not well
trained.
