Do you know that 93 percent of our communication is through our body?We call it body language.This can include the body﹣gesture language,head﹣neck language,sign language,face language and looks language.In different cultural backgrounds,the same movement might have quite different meanings,which,as a result,may usually lead to misunderstanding in communication.Misuse of body language can be an unpleasant or even dangerous experience.
In 1992,the President George H.W.Bush made a state visit to Australia.People lined up along the roadside to welcome the American President who greeted them with raised fingers in the form of "V" with the back of his hand toward the onlookers.The following morning a headline in a local newspaper announced that the American President insulted (侮辱) the Australians.In Australia,the "V" sign with the back of the hand equals to the middle finger.But in America it means victory.
Have you understood the importance of body language?Pay attention to the following and you will realize that they are very helpful when you are in Australia.
Men in Australia shake hands instead of kissing when they meet.In China,thumbing up means "You are good".However,it's rude in Australia.If an Australian laughs at others,he makes his thumb down.If you want to order a glass of beer in the bar,just hold up your forefinger.And in social situation,you shouldn't yawn or stretch yourself.
Keep these in mind and have a nice trip in Australia.
(1)How many body languages did the author mention in the first paragraph?
A.Three.
B.Four.

(3)How should you act if you want to have beer in the bar of Australia?
A.You can put your thumb up.
B.You can shake hands.
C.You can raise your fingers.
D.You can hold up your forefinger.
(4)After we read the passage,we learn that .
A.we only communicate by using words
B.Bush's visit to Australia in 1992 is successful

①As humans,we communicate(交流)by using the senses(感觉)of sight,touch,and hearing.We send messages with body language,we greet friends with touch,and we speak by using words to show our feelings and ideas.Animals don't communicate in as many ways as us — for example,they don't have languages like we do — but many animals do also use the senses of sight,touch,and hearing.A good example of this is elephant communication.
②Like us,elephants understand each other by looking at each other's body language.To send a message,they use their whole body,or just their heads,eyes,mouth,ears,trunk,tail,or feet.For example,elephants spread(展开)their ears to show anger.And while people shake(摇晃)their heads to say no,elephants do this to show they are happy.
③Touch is also very important between elephants.Just like a human mother holds her baby,a mother elephant regularly(有规律地)touches her young baby with her trunk.Elephants also show they are friendly when they touch other elephants.And when they want to have fun,they hold each other by the trunk and pull.Although they can't laugh like a human,elephants have a great sense of humor.
④Elephants have very large ears,which means they can hear other elephants from as far as 2.5 miles away.Like humans,they can also copy sounds and make their own sounds that seem to communicate some human words and phrases like,"Hello" "I love you" and "Let's go".
⑤So while it's true that humans are amazing at communication,elephants also communicate in ways that we can't,and that may be true for other animals,too.The next time your pet dog or cat looks at you,touches you,or makes a noise,maybe it's trying to tell you something very important!
(1)How do elephants show they are happy?
A.By using their whole body.
B.By spreading their ears.
C.By shaking their heads.
D.By touching other elephants.
(2)According to the passage,what can elephants do?
A.They can copy sounds they hear.
B.They can speak with words.
C.They can laugh like a human.
D.They can have languages.
(3)Which is the best structure of the passage?
A.
B.
C.
D.
(4)What's the purpose(目的) of writing the passage?
A.To tell why elephants have languages.
B.To express how smart elephants are.
C.To tell what elephants can do.
D.To tell how elephants communicate.

六选五
Different kinds of body languages show different etiquette(礼仪)cultures in different countries.Shaking hands and bowing are examples of body language.In China,shaking hands means greeting. (1) It is important social etiquette in Japan.Receiving a bow,it is polite and necessary to return one to whoever greets you. (2) In Japan,you can bow when you say "thank you", "sorry", "hello", "goodbye", "congratulations", "excuse me", "good morning" and more. (3) It means "welcome" , "friendship", "congratulations", "thanks", "respect", "sorry", "take care", "goodbye" and so on.
Both shaking hands and bowing seem simple,but there are different ways to do so. (4) If you meet someone who is of higher social position or older than you in Japan,you are supposed to bow deeper and longer than him or her.The same is true of Chinese etiquette culture.The elder and the younger shake hands.The elder reaches out first,and the younger cannot refuse to take the grip(紧握)quickly. (5)
