Read the following magazine article about facial expressionsand mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 25.
Facial Expressions
Body language is a very effective form of communication. Some facial expressions, in particular, can be understood all around the world. If we find something disgusting, for example, we wrinkle up our noses. Anyone watching immediately knows how we feel.
All people smile, and a smile is likely to get a positive reaction. It can, however, be obvious when you don't mean it. When you genuinely smile, muscles around your eyes automatically contract, but these muscles are difficult to control consciously. An authentic smile fades quickly, too, while an artificial smile will usually last longer.
The expressions we make when we are angry, sad and scared are also common to most cultures. Despite all the different languages spoken in the world, we can still communicate using this universal language of facial expressions.
However, you sometimes need to be careful. Certain gestures can vary, even within a single country. For example, southern Italians gesturing 'yes' tilt their heads forwards, never back, whereas people in the north nod by tilting the head backwards and forwards. This can be very confusing!
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a common facial expression understood worldwide?
Showing disgust by wrinkling the nose.
Smiling to express positive emotions.
Expressing fear through facial expressions.
Raising eyebrows to show surprise.

The difference in nodding between northern and southern Italy
The reason why body language is always clear
Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
People must learn facial expressions before they can understand foreign languages.
Languages differ across the world, but gestures and facial expressions are always the same.

A particular gesture will express the same idea in every part of a country.

Choose Your Hotel Like a Seasoned Traveller- by Randall Henderson
For a more enjoyable travel experience, one needs to select a hotel wisely and thoroughly. With all the promos available online, an amateur traveller can be overwhelmed. Here are some of the tips from seasoned travellers around the world.
[I] First, before starting to search for a hotel, you have to know your preferred accommodation or your budget. [II] Do you prefer the type of facilities a hotel can provide, or are you limited to a budget of $100 for an overnight stay? [III] After you have decided on all these, you can now do more limited research on the type of hotels you want. [IV]
If price is a main priority, you can use major booking engines to compare prices of the hotels. After checking the prices, you may check the hotel's own website to also compare the price. Many hotels offer lower rates if a booking is made through their own website. They also tend to offer a lower price similar to the one that you may find in other booking sites.
If a hotel's location is more important to you, top booking sites, such as Expedia and Hotels.com, will help you search hotels that are near to the location you prefer. Most booking sites also provide maps of the hotels so you can see if a hotel is near a central business district or a beach. You may also use guidebooks to search for a hotel in your preferred location since they tend to list hotels by location.
If you will be bringing your family along, you may also want to ask for special deals or if hotels have family-friendly policies. Another important tip is to read hotel reviews made personally by a traveller. Sites such as TripAdvisor and VirtualTourists offer hotel reviews made by travellers. With the reviews, you can get an idea on the quality of customer service, how clean the rooms are or if the Wi-Fi service really works.
Once you decide on which hotel to stay in, it is better to ask if you could check the room before actually booking it. There might be something that you missed to ask about the hotel, or the hotel just failed to mention that your room is just beside the restaurant or unclean. This might be an additional step but don't be afraid to ask. You will be happy that you did. Happy Travels!
