READING (2 points)
READING COMPREHENSION. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off on something very obvious like the other person's job. Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at other things in the room while you're talking to someone.
Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?” Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.
According to my aunt, the most important thing in a conversation was__________.
	A. speaking 	B. discussing	C. looking D. listening
At parties where she does not know anybody, my aunt normally__________.
	A. feels embarrassed and stays away from people
	B. asks people to introduces themselves to her
	C. comes over to the first person and introduces herself
	D. sits alone and avoids talking to other people
My aunt thinks that it's very easy to keep a conversation going if you__________.
	A. let people talk about themselves
	B. let people hear about yourself
	C. talk about politics or religion
	D. ask people about their secrets
What should you NOT do when you have a conversation with someone?
	A. Looking very interested in his or her story
	B. Looking at other things in the room
	C. Listening very carefully and asking questions
	D. Paying him or her compliments

VII. Read the following passage and answer the questions.
	As working women continue to receive better and better wages, housewives still work at home without receiving pay-checks. Should a woman who works at home, doing the housework and caring for children, be paid for her service? In a 1986 study at Cornell University, sociologists found that the value of the services of a housewife averaged $11,600 a year. This rate was based on a family composed of a husband, wife, and three young children. The $11,600 is what the husband would have to pay if he hired others to take over his wife's household chores. The researchers concluded that it would be fair for husbands to pay wives according to federal guidelines for minimum wages.
	Another plan for rewarding women who work at home has been suggested by a former Secretary of Health and Human Services. He says that full-time housewives should be allowed to pay social security taxes, with their employers contributing part of the payment. He feels that the present system is unfair. He said, "If you stay at home and raise a family, nobody will give you credit for it."

A.	To encourage women to go out to work.	B. To ask men to treat wives better.
C.	To suggest that housewives should be paid for their household chores.
D.	To suggest that men should share the housework with their wives.
