Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer:
When I was younger, I hated being the oldest child and the only girl in my family.
But now that I am older, I realize that being "Big Sister" actually has its advantages.
First of all, I get special treatment from my parents and brothers. I get my own room,
and brothers have to do all the heavy work around the house. Another benefit is
that, being the oldest, I have learned to be responsible and dependable. For
example, my parents often leave my brothers in my care when they go out. I also try
my best in whatever I do in order to be a good example for my brothers. The
experience I’ve had in taking care of my brothers has prepared me for my own
family in the future. So, even though I didn’t choose to be the oldest child and the
only girl in my family, I have succeeded in making this situation work to my best
advantage.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer:
Body postures and movements are frequently indicators of self-confidence, energy,
fatigue, or status. Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict, or replace
verbal messages. Gestures also serve an important function with regard to
regulating the flow of conversation. For example, if a student is talking about
something in front of the class, single nods of the head from the teacher will likely
cause that student to continue and perhaps more elaborate. Postures as well as
gestures are used to indicate attitudes, status, affective moods, approval,
deception, warmth, arid other variables related to conversation interaction.
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" well describes the meaning of
facial expressions. Facial appearance - including wrinkles, muscle tone, skin
coloration, and eye color-offers enduring cues that reveal information about age,
sex, race, ethnic origin, and status.
A less permanent second set of facial cues including length of hair, hairstyle,
cleanliness, and facial hair-relate to an individual's idea of beauty. A third group of
facial markers are momentary expressions that signal that cause changes in the
forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, nose, lips, and chin, such as raising the
eyebrows, wrinkling the brow, curling the lip. Some facial expressions are readily
visible, while others are fleeting. Both types can positively or negatively reinforce
the spoken words and convey cues concerning emotions and attitudes.
