In meetings, for example, you may lean forward, raise your index finger in midair, draw in a breath, and look directly at the speaker to signal that you want to speak next. If the speaker is willing to relinquish the floor, she will look at you, drop her own midair gesture, and lean back in her chair. If she is unwilling to relinquish the floor, she will probably raise her voice, accelerate her speech, and perhaps touch your arm to “squelch” you if you’re close enough or give you a “wait a minute” hand gesture. All of these signals are sent subtly and quickly, usually without premeditation. *************** The main pattern of organization of the selection is ______.

A major result of the massive entry of women into the labor force has been to decrease the dependence of wives on their husbands for economic support. This change has had beneficial effects. For instance, women need no longer cling to a brutal or drunken husband merely because she has nowhere else to turn. But it also encourages some women to give up on a relationship more quickly. Also, husbands have greater economic freedom to divorce wives who work because working wives are seldom granted a great deal of alimony. *************** The main pattern of organization of the selection is ______.

Studies at the University of Oklahoma Dental School have shown that your old toothbrush may carry the germs that are causing your illness. The studies have found that people who change their toothbrushes about every two weeks recover from common winter ills faster than people who use their toothbrushes for a month or more. Old toothbrushes can culture the germs that can cause colds, influenza, pneumonia, strep throat, diarrhea, and sinus disease. Another study found that disease germs can live in an unused toothbrush for as long as a week. They can start to thrive again every time you brush your teeth. *************** The main pattern of organization of the selection is _____.

Fоr questiоns 9 аnd 10 Reаd the pаragraph and answer the questiоns that follow. In Third World cities, poverty and affluence exist side by side. Skyscrapers tower over slums, and shantytowns spring up next door to luxurious apartment blocks and villas, continental restaurants, and nightclubs. In most Third World cities, a small middle and upper class lives in an affluent style familiar to their American and European counterparts. They own color televisions and DVRs, send their children to private schools, wear Italian suits and French fashions, and drive Japanese or German cars. Indeed, they have privileges beyond the reach of most middle-class Americans, such as full-time, live-in household help (which they can afford because of the large numbers of unemployed). At the opposite extreme are the great majority of urban residents. They live in quite different conditions most Americans cannot imagine—not only without electricity, but without solid buildings, streets, sewers, toilets, or even running water. *************** The main pattern of organization of the selection is ______.
