九、阅读理解
We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture Ruin (毁坏) Your Day.
English is the world’s international language. But in your book, non-verbal (不用语言的) communication is paid more attention to. ▲
June: Well, gestures (手势) and other body language can have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of these customs and cultural differences, so my readers won’t have a bad start when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding (误解)
June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake―which is usual in some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding
June: Take the gesture for “come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm (掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right What about the thumb-up (翘拇指) gesture for “great”
June: Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it important to know about body language and cultural differences.
1. Which gesture should you use if you want to say “goodbye”.in southern Europe
A. B.
C. D.
2. According to the passage, ________ is/are NOT mentioned in June’s book.
A. the importance of body language. B. some common gestures
C. the development of body language D. different meanings of a gesture
3. Which of the following can be put in the ▲
A. How is that possible B. Could it make readers interested
C. Can you give us some examples D. why is that so important
4. What can we infer (推断) from the passage
A. June paid more attention to the language of English in her book.
B. A girl from Australia may be angry with you if you praise her by using the thumb-up gesture.
C. Body language is the world’s international language.
D. In many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude.
【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B
【解析】这是一篇采访稿。主要是作者June Galloway介绍她的书Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture Ruin Your Day，通过不同手势语在不同文化中的差异来讲述非言语交流的重要性。
1．细节理解题。根据“Take the gesture for ‘come here’ for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means ‘goodbye’”掌心朝上在南欧意味着再见。故选D。
2．推理判断题。根据“That is why it important to know about body language and cultural differences”，“gestures and other body language can have different meanings in different places”以及 “Take the gesture for ‘come here’ for example”可知身体语言的重要性、一些日常的手势以及手势的不同含义在文中都有提到，身体语言的发展没有提到，故选C。
3．推理判断题。根据前一句“non-verbal communication is paid more attention to”非言语交流需要更加注意以及后文“gestures and other body language can have different meanings in different places”手势语和其他身体语言在不同地区有不同的含义，可知后文在具体说明非言语交流的重要性。故选D。
4．推理判断题。根据“non-verbal communication is paid more attention to”可知A表述错误。根据“That’s very rude in Australia”可知B表示正确。根据“English is the world’s international language”可知C表述错误。根据“in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude”可知D表述错误。故选B。
B
Do you use hand gestures when you talk Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised These are all examples of body language. How important can it be Follow Teens and have a look.
Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings.
According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, if your friend asks you to join him in a picnic, you will give him an "OK" gesture to say: "Yes, sounds great!" Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously(无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.
In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the US, making eye contact(眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person's eyes during a conversation.
Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take "hello" for example. French people kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting.
What are you trying to say
Body language is important to teenagers. Understanding this language helps you to communicate better with others.
1. What does body language use to show meanings
A. Words. B. Sentences. C. Letters. D. Movement or position.
2. What does an American mean if he makes eye contact with someone
A. He is bored with the person. B. He is interested in the person.
C. He is angry with the person. D. He doesn't want to say anything.
3. Whom might this passage be written for
A. Old people. B. The disabled. C. Adults. D. Teenagers.
4. Which of the following is TRUE
A. The same body language always means the same thing.
B. Different body language can express the same meaning.
C. Asian people like making eye contact.
D. Japanese people kiss to say hello.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D 4. B
【解析】本文主要介绍了肢体语言的重要性。
1. 细节理解题。根据“It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings.” 可知，肢体语言用身体移动或者位置来表明意思，故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据“In the US, making eye contact(眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying.” 可知，如果和说话的人有眼神交流，那么他对说话者感兴趣，故选B。
3. 细节理解题。根据“Body language is important to teenagers.” 可知，肢体语言对青少年来说是重要的，即文章是写给青少年的，故选D。
4. 细节理解题。根据“different body language expresses the same meaning.” 可知，不同的肢体语言可以表达相同的意思，故选B。

九、阅读理解
We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture Ruin (毁坏) Your Day.
English is the world’s international language. But in your book, non-verbal (不用语言的) communication is paid more attention to. ▲
June: Well, gestures (手势) and other body language can have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of these customs and cultural differences, so my readers won’t have a bad start when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding (误解)
June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake―which is usual in some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding
June: Take the gesture for “come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm (掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right What about the thumb-up (翘拇指) gesture for “great”
June: Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it important to know about body language and cultural differences.

Do you use hand gestures when you talk Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised These are all examples of body language. How important can it be Follow Teens and have a look.
Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings.
According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, if your friend asks you to join him in a picnic, you will give him an "OK" gesture to say: "Yes, sounds great!" Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously(无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.
In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the US, making eye contact(眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person's eyes during a conversation.
Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take "hello" for example. French people kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting.
