Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer
The first system of communication of animals is natural. Many kinds of animals have ways of communicating with each other. And one of the most interesting examples is that of bees. These insects communicate with each other by dancing. The most important kind of dance that they do is concerned with food. They get their food from flowers, of course, from plants and trees. When a bee has found some food, it returns to the other bees and can give them three basic kinds of information about the food: which direction it is in, whether it is nearby or a long way away, and whether it is good to eat or poisonous.
The other kind of system of communication of animals is artificial. It means animals learn it; in this case, they learn from man. Several famous experiments have been carried out with chimpanzees, trying to teach them human language.
One of these experiments was done with a chimpanzee called Sarah. Sarah was taught to understand a system of symbols which represented words. The symbols were cut out of coloured plastic, and each different shape stood for a different word. For example, a red square stood for “banana”, Sarah’s favorite fruit. Soon Sarah could not only understand words, but even sentences. She could obey orders: if her human friends put down the symbols for “apple in cup”, she would put the apple in the cup. Later, she began giving the scientists orders – she was writing her own sentences, and she got upset if the scientists did not obey her. We do not yet know whether chimpanzees will ever learn to use language to communicate as freely as human beings do, but the results so far suggest that this is at least a possibility.

A. so selfish as to let other bees share the bad food
B. so selfish as to look for food for themselves

43) The experiment done with Sarah is an example of ____________________.
A. animals with natural system of communication
B. animals able to communicate with humans

Written communication
Not long ago, written communication was slow. In the past,you...can.... communicate..... with someone ...by... letter. They would receive the letter have ..be... very annoying! For example, you could not send a letter inviting someone...to.. your party unless you sent it at least a week before.
Today, though, with email and text messages, we can send a written message ..for. someone instantly - and we do not ...have.. to go to the post office or pay for a stamp! It is easier than ever to stay in touch ..with .... friends and relations wherever they are in the world. Now , you ..can... decide to have a party in the morning, your friends will be there in the evening. That is great, is not it?
In most cases the interview is the last hurdle that an applicant has to clear before landing a job. Interviews probably aren’t a foolproof method of selecting candidates; however, I can’t suggest any better alternatives.
An employer can’t fully assess a candidate’s capabilities, personality or character during an interview. Several personality development centers now prepare candidates for interviews. They are taught how to answer questions that are frequently asked during interviews. Sometimes a candidate who possesses better qualifications may fail to get the job because of his poor performance in the interview.
However, I don’t think that interviews should be done away with. Employers all over the world use this selection process to find the best candidates. This is a clear indication that interviews are an efficient method of selecting good candidates.
In my opinion, interviews should not be the only criterion for selecting candidates. They should be used in conjunction with written examinations during which a candidate’s proficiency in various subjects can be assessed. In addition, candidates should be asked to participate in debates or group discussions. Their real personality and leadership skills will come to the fore during these events.
To conclude, the interview is not a flawed recruitment process. It isn’t perfect but it certainly has more merits than demerits. In fact, when interviews are used in conjunction with other personality tests, they will definitely help businesses find the best candidates. Organisations should also consider hiring fresh graduates on a probationary basis. Those who deliver excellent performance during the probationary period should be hired to fill permanent positions.
