  In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.

  The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight. hearing and touch play the most important roles.

  Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of handshaking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.

  The means of communication mentioned so far have two features(特點(diǎn))in common; they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.

1.Why does the author explain that he will deal with reception of communication first?

[  ]

A.communication actually takes place when the message is received

B.there are more means of receiving than sending communications

C.it is difficult to organize by type the means of sending communications

D.reception of communications involved use of the senses

2.Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of ________.

[  ]

A.a(chǎn) simple system of visual communication

B.communication by touch

C.gesture and mimicry

D.communication by sound

3.Which of the following statements about communication by touch is true?

[  ]

A.It is possible to communicate intelligently by touch alone

B.Touch must accompany visual communication

C.Touch is not important as a means of communication

D.There is no well-developed system of communication based on touch

4.Which of the following statements about the ways of communicating ideas and feelings mentioned in the passage is false?

[  ]

A.They can be used to communicate over long distances

B.They require both a sender and a receiver

C.They involve use of conventional signs and symbols

D.They utilize the senses for reception

5.The author specifically mentions that speech is ________.

[  ]

A.necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture

B.the only highly developed form system of communication

C.often used when communicating by touch

D.the mast developed form of communication based on hearing

閱讀理解。
     CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投訴) from consumers
or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
