E-mail simplifies the flow of ideas, connects people from distant offices, eliminates the need for meetings, and often boosts productivity. However, e-mail should be carefully managed to avoid unclear and inappropriate communication. E-mail messages should be concise and limited to one topic. When complex issues need to be addressed, phone calls are still best.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?

DIRECTION: Read the following each passage and answer the questions given below  (2) Arid regions in the southwestern United States have become increasingly inviting playgrounds for the growing number of recreation seekers who own vehicles such as motorcycles or powered trail bikes and indulge in hill-climbing contests or in carving new trails in the desert. But recent scientific studies show that these off-road vehicles can cause damage to desert landscapes that has long-range effects on the area’s water-conserving characteristics and on the entire ecology, both plant and animal. Research by scientists in the western Mojave Desert in California revealed that the compaction of the sandy arid soil resulting from the passage of just one motorcycle markedly reduced the infiltration ability of the soil and created a stream of rain runoff water that eroded the hillside surface. In addition, the researchers discovered that the soil compaction caused by the off-road vehicles often killed native plant species and resulted in the invasion of different plant species within a few years.According to the passage, what is being damaged?

DIRECTION: Read the following each passage and answer the questions given below(3) Anthropologists have pieced together the little they know about the history of left – handedness and right – handedness from indirect evidence. Though early men and women did not leave written records, they did leave tools, bones, and pictures. Stone Age hand axes and hatchets were made from stones that were carefully chipped away to form sharp cutting edges. In some the pattern of chipping shows that these tools and weapons were made by right handed people designed to fit comfortably into a right hand. Other Stone Age implements were made by or for left-handers Prehistoric pictures painted on the walls of caves provide further clues to the handedness of ancient people. A right – hander finds it easier to draw faces of people and animals facing toward the left whereas a left – hander finds it easier to draw faces facing toward the right. Both kinds of faces have been found in ancient painting. On the whole the evidence seems to indicate that prehistoric people were either ambidextrous or about equally likely to be left – or right – handed. But, in the Bronze Age, the picture changed. The tools and weapons found from that period are mostly made for right – handed use. The predominance of right – handedness among humans today had apparently already been established.What is the main topic of the passage?

DIRECTION: Read the following each passage and answer the questions given below (4) He has given to many young musicians by direct influence, and to others through his disciples, a renewed sense of all that music is and has been, and it is hardly overbold to foresee that this is going to play its role, perhaps a mighty one, in the musical development of the United States…. What is essential now is to recognize the need our world has for the qualities that Schoenberg possesses, and how admirably he supplies our need.The tone of the passage is:
