In fact, there are about four thousand books with titles that begin with the words “How to”. One book may tell you how to earn more money. Another may tell you how to save or spend it and another may explain how to give your money away.

Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and now to succeed in it. If you fail; however, you can buy the book “How to Turn Failure into Success”.

Read the passage below and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions:

DON'T CALL ME

You can't go anywhere these days without hearing the buzz of mobile phone. If that noise isn't enough to drive you mad, have you noticed that people who use mobile phones have louder voices than everyone else? When you shout that loudly, you don't need a phone, the person you are calling will probably hear you anyway.

People who have mobile phones say that they can't live without them, but they managed quite well before they had them. You cannot escape them; you hear them on buses and trains, in street, at the supermarket, even in places where you expect it to be quiet, like cinemas, theaters and libraries. Is there anything more annoying than having to listen to unnecessarily loud voices talking to people who aren't there, while you are trying to enjoy a pleasant diner at a "quiet" restaurant? I find it rude and antisocial. Even school kids have mobile phones now. A teacher I know told me not long ago that lessons were often interrupted by phones ringing.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries.

If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.

In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom.

In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in India, whistling in public is considered rude.

In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means ‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is a rude gesture.

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their children, may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we has been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class and religious customs among different American groups.

The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American Families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty – five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consist of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationship in family forms other than the traditional one.
