Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warm, and instruct people. While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
Which form other than oral speech would be the most commonly used among blind people?
A. Picture signs
B. Braille
C. Signal flags

Dịch bài đọc:
Kể từ khi con người cư trú trên Trái Đất, họ đã dùng nhiều phương thức giao tiếp khác nhau. Nhìn chung, việc bày tỏ suy nghĩ và cảm xúc đã có trong các hình thức ngôn ngữ nói. Khi có rào cản ngôn ngữ, việc giao tiếp được thực hiện thông qua ngôn ngữ ký hiệu, trong đó những cử động tượng trưng cho chữ cái, từ ngữ và ý tưởng. Những người khách du lịch, những người câm và điếc, phải dùng đến phương thức biểu đạt này. Nhiều biểu tượng rất sinh động và chính xác, và có thể được sử dụng trên toàn thế giới. Tuy nhiên, chính tả thì không thể được.
Ngôn ngữ cơ thể truyền đạt ý tưởng hoặc suy nghĩ thông qua những hành động nhất định, cố ý hoặc vô ý. Một cái nháy mắt có thể là một cách tán tỉnh hoặc ra dấu rằng chỉ là nói đùa. Một cái gật đầu biểu hiện sự đồng ý, trong khi lắc đầu cho thấy phản ứng tiêu cực.
Các hình thức phi ngôn ngữ có thể tìm thấy ở chữ nổi (một hệ thống những dấu chấm lớn được đọc bằng đầu ngón tay), cờ hiệu, mã Morse (móc-xơ) và tín hiệu khói. Bản đồ đường bộ và các biển báo hình ảnh cũng là những chỉ dẫn, cảnh báo, và hướng dẫn mọi người. Trong khi lời nói là hình thức phổ biến nhất của ngôn ngữ thì một số hệ thống và kỹ thuật khác cũng thể hiện được những suy nghĩ và cảm xúc của con người.

A massage is relaxing, and makes you feel great, but did you know that it's also good for you? That's what doctors are now saying. Massage relieves pain and anxiety, eases depression and speeds up recovery from medical problems.
Research has shown that people of all ages benefit from touch. Premature infants who are held develop faster than those left alone, and healthy babies who get a lot of physical contact cry less and sleep better. Researchers are not sure why this occurs but they have also found out that touch can slow heart rate, lower blood pressure and increase levels of seratonin, the brain chemical that is linked to well-being. It also decreases levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and this in turn increases your resistance to illness.
Massage also speeds up healing. Bone-marrow transplant patients who were given massages had better neurological function than those who weren't. Furthermore, massage reduced pain by 37% in patients with chronic muscle aches.
Giving someone a massage may be as good as getting one. A study conducted by the university of Miami found that mothers suffering from depression felt better after massaging their infants. In that same study, elderly volunteers who massaged infants reported feeling less anxious and depressed.
It even works when you do it yourself; 43% of headache sufferers reported getting relief after massaging their temples and neck and smokers who were taught self-massage while trying to quit felt less anxiety and smoked less.
