identical. After watching the video, participants were asked to what extent the people in the video agreed 
with each other. Participants who watched the fluent conversation rated agreement to be higher than 
participants watching the conversation that was disrupted by a silence, even though participants were not 
consciously aware of the disruption. It appears that the subjective feeling of being out of sync informs 
people of possible disagreements, regardless of the content of the conversation. 
 Because people are generally so well trained in having smooth conversations, any disruption of this 
flow indicates that something is wrong, either interpersonally or within the group as a whole. 
Consequently, people who do not talk very easily may be incorrectly understood as being less agreeable 
than those who have no difficulty keeping up a conversation. On a societal level, one could even imagine 
that a lack of conversational flow may hamper the integration of immigrants who have not completely 
mastered the language of their new country yet. In a similar sense, the ever increasing number of online 
conversations may be disrupted by misinterpretations and anxiety that are produced by insuperable delays 
in the Internet connection. Keeping in mind the effects of conversational flow for feelings of belonging 
and validation may help one to be prepared to avoid such misunderstandings in future conversations.
For questions 1 to 6, do the following statements agree with the claims of the writer in the text? Write:
 YES if the statement agrees with the claims of the writer
 NO if the statement contradicts the claims of the writer
 NOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this
1. Conversation occupies much of our time. __________
2. People assess information according to how readily they can understand it. __________

5. People who talk less often have clearer ideas than those who talk a lot. __________
6. Delays in online chat fail to have the same negative effect as disruptions that occur in natural

For questions 7 to 14, complete the summary below by choosing NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS 
from the text for each answer.

 There is a human desire to co-ordinate (7) __________ in an effort to be ‘in harmony’. This co-

 Line
 1 Young women entering the current job market has more than fifty years to wait 
 2 before they could be paid the same as men. Female managers saw their pay increase 
 3 half a percentage point faster than their male counterparts last year, according to a 
 4 study by the Chartered Management Institute. Even if that rates of improvement 
 5 continues, the pay gap will not be closed until 2067. 
 6 Women’s salaries increased by 2.8 per cent in 2009, compared with 2.3 per cent 
 7 for men. There is better news in the boardroom, therefore, where female managers 
 8 out-earn men with an average salary of $144,729 compared with $138,765. At the other 
 9 end of the career ladder, junior male executives receive $ 22,252 for average - $ 1,065 
 10 more than their female counterparts. 
 11 The largest pay gaps were in the IT and pharmaceutical industries, at $17,736 
 12 and $14,018 respective. The Midlands has the worst regional division. 
 13 The recession also appears to have hit women managers hard, with 4.5 per cent of 
 14 the female workforce took redundant last year, compared with three per cent of men. 
 15 The general secretary of the trade union Unison, said: “It is a disgrace that women will 
 16 have to wait until 2067 for the pay gap to close – nearly 100 years after the Equal Pay 
 17 Act. This glacial progress towards fairness can not be allowed to go on.”
