二、阅读理解
The mysterious science of reading gestures is explained using practical explanations and clear images. Gestures are products of both genetic (遗传的) and environmental influences. Understanding our gestures is not as difficult as some people would have you believe. All human beings use them and so actually have a “built-in” ability to recognise and read it.
Fingers crossed
Generally this means “wishing for good luck or fortune”.
Another explanation could be seen as “here’s hoping”. The gesture probably has Christian origins where the gesture was believed to get away from evil. As such, people believe that crossing the fingers when telling a lie somehow gets away from the evil of the lie. Some historians believe that crossing your fingers is a hidden or secret way of making the Christian sign of the cross a perfect way of defeating evils. As a gesture it has both good and bad meanings. Luck or lies.
Waving the first finger
Mothers and teachers are common users with this hand gesture. In general, it is used to warn a single person. It is a change of the “you” gesture. If translated into language it would say “Stop whatever you are doing and pay attention to me. I am your superior and I am warning you!” Classed as a “silent” parent to child gesture, it is not completely allowed in an formal occasion where it will be explained as rude. Some psychologists believe that it has a meaning of the whip.
31．What can we infer from the first paragraph
A．Reading gestures is secret. B．Gestures are formed in daily life.
C．Some people make reading gestures difficult on purpose. D．It is hard to explain gestures by images.
32．If a Christian crosses his fingers, he wants to .
A．show he isn’t lucky B．wish to succeed
C．gets away from the evil of the lie D．cross the street
33．If your mum waves her first finger, she wants to .
A．wish for good luck B．stop you
C．praise you D．help you
Ross Griffiths woke up one morning only to find himself unable to speak.This five-year-old boy was only two weeks ago diagnosed (诊断) with a condition so unusual that it hasn’t been named and is instead known as 15q11.2．
Ross Griffiths has struggled to get back his communication skills, but has always been too shy to use his sign language away from home and school. But after seeing a video of Middlesbrough’s Cleveland Centre Father Christmas signing with three-year-old Mali Williams, Ross told his mum that he wanted to sign with Father Christmas, too.
Ross and his family went to see Father Christmas yesterday, along with Mali, who was invited back for a second visit.Father Christmas set up the special second meeting with Mali where he gave her a lovely doll.
As crowds of children and parents awaited the arrival of the big man at the shopping centre, Father Christmas took some time out before his duties to meet again with Mali and with Ross before going on to see all the other children.
Ross’s mum Becky Lane hoped that a visit to the special Father Christmas would help Ross get over his shyness. The Father Christmas everyone believes in even learned Makaton specially for his meeting with Ross, as this is the communication method the young boy uses.
“He was too frightened to use his sign language outside the house, but when he saw the video of the girl signing with Father Christmas, it showed him he didn’t have to be shy. He did really well. And he got a PacMan game as a gift. Now he’s not a shy boy any more,” Becky said.
34．According to the text, we can learn that Ross Griffiths ________．
A．caught a deadly disease
B．was afraid of communicating with strangers
C．found it hard to learn sign language
D．dreamed of becoming a Father Christmas

31．C 32．C 33．B
【导语】文是一篇说明文。文章主要对人类的两种手势进行了详细说明。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段“Understanding our gestures is not as difficult as some people would have you believe.(理解我们的手势并不像有些人想让你相信的那么难)”可推知，有些人故意使阅读手势困难。故选C。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“As such, people believe that crossing the fingers when telling a lie somehow gets away from the evil of the lie.(因此，人们相信在说谎时交叉手指以某种方式摆脱了谎言的邪恶)”可知，一名基督徒交叉手指的意思是避免谎言的邪恶。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据最后一段“If translated into language, it would say “Stop whatever you are doing and pay attention to me. I am your superior and I am warning you!”(如果翻译成语言，它会说：“停止你正在做的任何事情，注意我。我是你的上级，我警告你!”)”可知， 妈妈摇晃她的第一个手指的目的是阻止你。故选B。
34．B 35．D 36．A 37．C

34．细节理解题。由第二段中的“Ross Griffiths..has always been too shy to use his signlanguage away firom home and school.（罗斯·格里菲斯一直太害羞，以至于不敢在家庭和学校之外的地方使用他的手语。）”可知，Ross Grifths 害怕和陌生人交流。故选B。
35．推理判断题。由第二段中的“But after seeing a video ... Ross told his mum that hewanted to sign with Father Christmas，too.（但在看了一段视频之后，罗斯告诉他的妈妈，他也想和圣诞老人一起用手语交流。）”可知，Ross 看到那个视频时应该感到很兴奋，所以他也很想和圣诞老人用手语对话。故选D。
36．词句猜测题。由该词后的“this is the communication method the young boy uses（这是这个年轻男孩使用的交流方法。）”可知，Makaton是指一种手势语。故选A。
37．推理判断题。由最后一段中Becky所说的“Nowhe'snot ashy boy any more（现在他不再是一个害羞的男孩了。）”可知Ross 在见过圣诞老人后找回了自信心。故选C。
三、完形填空
When we communicate with other people, we often use not only words but also body language. Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 38 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. In fact, non verbal communication takes up about 50% of what we really 39 . And body language is particularly 40 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 41 a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. For example, different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact even with friends, and certainly not with 43 . People from Latin American countries, 44 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in conversation, it may look like a Latino is 45 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 46 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 47 — which the Latino will in return regard as 48 .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 49 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of 50 . But whatever the situation is, the best 51 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 52 .

39．A．hope B．receive C．discover D．mean
40．A．immediate B．misleading C．important D．difficult
41．A．well B．far C．much D．long
42．A．trade B．distance C．connections D．greetings
43．A．strangers B．relatives C．neighbours D．enemies
44．A．in other words B．on the other hand C．in a similar way D．by all means
45．A．disturbing B．helping C．guiding D．following
46．A．closer B．faster C．in D．away
47．A．stepping forward B．going on C．backing away D．coming out
48．A．weakness B．carelessness C．friendliness D．coldness
49．A．talk B．travel C．laugh D．think
50．A．curiosity B．excitement C．misunderstanding D．nervousness
51．A．chance B．time C．result D．advice

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了肢体语言的重要性和在不同文化中的差异性。
38．考查副词词义辨析。句意：它胜于言语。A. straighter更笔直地；B. louder更响亮地；C. harder更努力地；D. further更远地。根据空前的“speaks”和空后的“than words”可知，这里指肢体语言在表达意思时比言语更响亮，是actions speaks louder than words(行动胜于言语)的变形。故选B。
39．考查动词词义辨析。句意：事实上，非言语交流约占我们真正意思的50%。A. hope希望；B. receive接收；C. discover发现；D. mean意思是说，打算。根据上文中的“our bodies send out more messages”和空前的“non-verbal communication takes up about 50% of what we really”可知，身体能够释放更多的信息，非言语交流约占我们真正意思的50%。故选D。
40．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当我们试图跨文化交流时，肢体语言尤为重要。A. immediate立即的；B. misleading误导的；C. important重要的；D. difficult困难的。根据上文中的“Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all!(肢体语言是最安静、最隐秘、最有力的语言！)”可知，肢体语言是最有力的语言，在跨文化交流中尤其重要。故选C。
41．考查副词词义辨析。句意：事实上，所谓的肢体语言很大程度上是我们的一部分，它实际上经常被忽视。A. well好；B. far远；C. much非常；D. long长久地。空处修饰名词短语“a part of us”，表示程度，指的是我们的肢体语言很大程度上属于身体的一部分。故选C。
42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：例如，不同的社会对人与人之间的距离有不同的方式。A. trade交易；B. distance距离；C. connections联系；D. greetings欢迎。根据下文中的“Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact even with friends, and certainly not with 6 . People from Latin American countries, 7 , touch each other quite a lot.”可知，下文举了北欧人和拉丁美洲人对待人与人之间距离的不同方式，所以这里是说不同的社会对待人与人之间的距离有所不同。故选B。
43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：北欧人通常不喜欢与朋友进行身体接触，当然也不喜欢与陌生人进行身体接触。A. strangers陌生人；B. relatives亲戚；C. neighbours邻居；D. enemies敌人。根据句中的“do not like having bodily contact even with friends”可知，北欧人不喜欢和朋友有身体接触，这里进一步说也不喜欢和陌生人有身体接触。故选A。
44．考查介词短语辨析。句意：另一方面，拉丁美洲国家的人们经常互相接触。A. in other words换句话说；B. on the other hand另一方面；C. in a similar way用相似的方式；D. by all means当然行。前面“Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact even with friends, and certainly not with 6 .”讲述了北欧人不喜欢身体接触，后面讲了拉丁美洲人喜欢身体接触，这里是两个不同的方面。故选B。
45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：因此，在谈话中，可能看起来像是一个拉丁美洲人在整个房间里跟着一个挪威人。A. disturbing打扰；B. helping帮助；C. guiding指导；D. following跟随。根据下文“The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 9 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 10 — which the Latino will in return regard as 11 .”可知，在房间里，拉丁美洲人试图接近挪威人，而挪威人则不停地避开，看起来好像是一个拉丁美洲人在整个房间里跟着一个挪威人。故选D。
46．考查副词词义辨析。句意：试图表达友谊的拉丁裔人将不停地靠近。A. closer更近地；B. faster更快地；C. in在里面；D. away离开。根据上文中的“People from Latin American countries, 7 , touch each other quite a lot.”可知，拉丁美洲人喜欢身体接触，所以为了表示友谊，会不断地接近挪威人。故选A。
47．考查动词短语辨析。句意：挪威人很可能认为这是咄咄逼人，会不停地退缩——而拉丁美洲人则认为这是冷漠。A. stepping forward主动站出来；B. going on发生，继续；C. backing away躲避；D. coming out出来。根据上文中的“Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact even with friends, and certainly not with 6 .”可知，北欧人不喜欢身体接触，所以面对拉丁美洲人的靠近，他会不断地回避。故选C。
48．考查名词词义辨析。句意参考上题。A. weakness虚弱；B. carelessness粗心；C. friendliness友好；D. coldness冷漠。根据上文中的“The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 9 .”可知，拉丁美洲人表示友好的方式是接近对方，所以面对挪威人的躲避，他会认为这是冷漠行为。故选D。
49．考查动词词义辨析。句意：显然，当人们说话时，会发生很多事情。A. talk谈话；B. travel旅行；C. laugh笑；D. think思考。根据下文中的“And only a part of it is in the words themselves.(其中只有一部分是在言语本身之中。)”可知，这里指在人们交流的时候。故选A。
50．考查名词词义辨析。句意：当群体来自不同的文化时，很有可能产生误解。A. curiosity好奇心；B. excitement兴奋；C. misunderstanding误解；D. nervousness紧张。根据句中的“parties are from different cultures”可知，当人们来自不同的文化时，由于肢体语言不同，所以很可能发生误解。故选C。
51．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但无论情况如何，最好的建议是遵守黄金法则：像你想被对待的那样对待别人。A. chance机会；B. time时间；C. result结果；D. advice建议。根据冒号后的“treat others as you would like to be 15 ”可知，这里是给人们提出如何交流的建议。故选D。
52．考查动词词义辨析。句意参考上题。A. noticed注意到；B. treated对待；C. respected尊重；D. pleased使高兴。根据空前的“treat others as you would like to be”可知，这里指像你想被对待的那样对待别人。故选B。
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We use both words and body language to express 53 (we) thoughts and opinions in interactions with other people. Just like spoken language, body language 54 (vary) from culture to culture. For example, making eye contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way 55 (display) interest. In other countries, eye contact is not always approved 56 . For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not 57 (social) permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to 58 old. The gesture for “OK” has different 59 (meaning) in different cultures. In Japan, someone 60 witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany. Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, 61 (shake) one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By 62 (compare), in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning.
53．our 54．varies 55．to display 56．of 57．socially 58．the 59．meanings 60．who/that 61．shaking 62．comparison
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出同一肢体语言在不同的国家或文化背景下可能有不同的意义，我们要学会正确地使用肢体语言。
53．考查代词。句意：在与他人交往时，我们既使用语言也使用肢体语言来表达我们的思想和观点。根据句意，提示词修饰名词词组thoughts and opinions，用形容词性物主代our作定语。故填our。
54．考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：就像语言一样，肢体语言也因文化而异。vary(呈现差异)是句中谓语动词，与主语body language之间是主动关系，描述客观事实应使用一般现在时态，又因主语是 body language，谓语动词应使用单数形式。故填varies。
55．考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，在一些国家，眼神交流——看着别人的眼睛——是一种表达兴趣的方式。名词way意为“方式”，其后常用不定式作后置定语；a way to display interest“一种表达兴趣的方式”。故填to display。
56．考查介词。句意：在其他国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可的。approve of是固定短语，表示“赞成、认可”，句中使用了其被动语态。故填of。
57．考查副词。句意：例如，在许多中东国家，男性和女性在社会上不被允许进行眼神交流。提示词修饰动词permitted，作副词socially作状语，意为“在社会上；在社交方面”。故填socially。
58．考查冠词。句意：在日本，与老人交谈时低头可能表示尊重。“定冠词the+形容词”是固定结构，用于特指某一类人或物；句中the old意为“老人”，作宾语。故填the。
59．考查名词复数。句意：“OK”的手势在不同的文化中有不同的含义。可数名词meaning作宾语，意为“意思，意义”，有形容词different(不同的)修饰，用复数形式。故填meanings。
60．考查定语从句。句意：在日本，有人看到另一个人使用这个手势可能会认为它意味着钱。空格处单词引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词someone，指人，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词who或者that引导该从句。故填who/that。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：在许多国家，摇头表示“不”，点头表示“是”。“(shake) one’s head”作主语，用动名词形式shaking。故填shaking。
62．考查名词。句意：相比之下，在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部，这些手势的意思正好相反。介词后用名词作宾语；by comparison“相比之下；比较起来”。故填comparison。
四、书面表达
63．根据提示，写一篇80词左右的短文。

“Not fair.” Wendi was rather angry. “You promised we could go to the climbing park.”
“But, it is going to rain, and the climbing park is outdoors.” Mum shook her head.
Wendi looked out of the window. “But it isn’t raining, just clouds.”
“The weather lady says so, and she knows, rain in the afternoon,” Mum said.
“The weather lady must get it wrong,” Wendi complained in a low voice, but suddenly, the rain started. “Oh.” Wendi was surprised, looking up at the sky.
“We’ll go to the climbing park another day.” Mum watched the rain.
“How does the weather lady know about the weather ” Wendi asked.
“Well, she has got a weather station, I think.” Mum was not sure.
“Grandpa might know. I’ll ask him tomorrow,” Wendi said.
“We can build a little weather station in the garden if you like, Wendi,” Grandpa explained. “You’ll need a wind vane (风向标) to see how the wind is blowing, and we can make it by ourselves. And we also need to prepare a rain gauge (雨量计) to measure how much rain has fallen. And, I’ve got a good thermometer (温度计) for outdoors.”
“A thermometer ... what is that ” Wendi asked.
Grandpa laughed. “A thermometer measures the temperature.”
“Thermometer.” Wendi was pleased with her new word.
“And last of all, we need a barometer (气压计). That’s a big word, too, Wendi,” Grandpa explained. “A barometer tells us what the air pressure is. I’ve got one, too.”
“But what is air pressure ” Wendi asked.
“Well, if the air pressure changes, the weather will change,” Grandpa answered.
When everything was ready, Grandpa and Wendi got down to business, and soon a little garden weather station came into being.
Grandpa gave Wendi a list and said, “You have to keep a list of all the wind, rain and temperature changes. That’s when you’ll see how the weather is changing. And then you really will be a weathergirl.”
Rainy, Windy, Sunny, Snowy, Hot, Cold, Cloudy, Stormy, Very Windy ... Wendi painted many cards for all the things a weathergirl has to say.
Hearing the news, all Wendi’s friends visited her garden weather station.

63．One possible version:
People usually communicate with others by spoken words. However, body language is widely used in our daily life.
Have you ever used body language to communicate with others I think the answer is definitely sure. You must have smiled to your friend when you meet him again after a long time. Smile is body language. And it is obvious that through human being’s history, people used body language to communicate with others frequently. For example, when you find your friend is depressed, you give him a smile to cheer him up and at that moment the smile is better than any words, I think. When you are surrounded by noises, and you cannot make yourself understood by word of mouth, then you use gestures which are body language to express your ideas.
As a conclusion, body language is as important as spoken language.

64．Wendi was a very good weathergirl until one icy cold winter day. “When will it snow Wendi. We want to know,” asked her friends. That was the big question. It was very cold, and Wendi put up her Freeze card on the list. “Tomorrow, it will snow tomorrow.” Wendi was sure. But it didn’t snow, not even one tiny snowflake. So they began to think that Wendi wasn’t a weathergirl at all and refused to visit her garden weather station. Wendi felt very sad.
After seeing this, Grandpa said to Wendi, “No weathergirl is always right, but it will snow soon, I am sure.” And two days later, the snow fell. Wendi’s friends were happy now. They went out and invited Wendi to make a big snowman with them. “Thank you, Wendi, weathergirl. We got our snow,” they said. Wendi smiled and wondered if she should tell her friends, who were having fun in the snow, that in a day or two it would get warmer, and then the snow would go.

二、阅读理解
The mysterious science of reading gestures is explained using practical explanations and clear images. Gestures are products of both genetic (遗传的) and environmental influences. Understanding our gestures is not as difficult as some people would have you believe. All human beings use them and so actually have a “built-in” ability to recognise and read it.
Fingers crossed
Generally this means “wishing for good luck or fortune”.
Another explanation could be seen as “here’s hoping”. The gesture probably has Christian origins where the gesture was believed to get away from evil. As such, people believe that crossing the fingers when telling a lie somehow gets away from the evil of the lie. Some historians believe that crossing your fingers is a hidden or secret way of making the Christian sign of the cross a perfect way of defeating evils. As a gesture it has both good and bad meanings. Luck or lies.
Waving the first finger
Mothers and teachers are common users with this hand gesture. In general, it is used to warn a single person. It is a change of the “you” gesture. If translated into language it would say “Stop whatever you are doing and pay attention to me. I am your superior and I am warning you!” Classed as a “silent” parent to child gesture, it is not completely allowed in an formal occasion where it will be explained as rude. Some psychologists believe that it has a meaning of the whip.
31．What can we infer from the first paragraph
A．Reading gestures is secret. B．Gestures are formed in daily life.
C．Some people make reading gestures difficult on purpose. D．It is hard to explain gestures by images.
32．If a Christian crosses his fingers, he wants to .
A．show he isn’t lucky B．wish to succeed
C．gets away from the evil of the lie D．cross the street
33．If your mum waves her first finger, she wants to .
A．wish for good luck B．stop you
C．praise you D．help you
Ross Griffiths woke up one morning only to find himself unable to speak.This five-year-old boy was only two weeks ago diagnosed (诊断) with a condition so unusual that it hasn’t been named and is instead known as 15q11.2．
Ross Griffiths has struggled to get back his communication skills, but has always been too shy to use his sign language away from home and school. But after seeing a video of Middlesbrough’s Cleveland Centre Father Christmas signing with three-year-old Mali Williams, Ross told his mum that he wanted to sign with Father Christmas, too.
Ross and his family went to see Father Christmas yesterday, along with Mali, who was invited back for a second visit.Father Christmas set up the special second meeting with Mali where he gave her a lovely doll.
As crowds of children and parents awaited the arrival of the big man at the shopping centre, Father Christmas took some time out before his duties to meet again with Mali and with Ross before going on to see all the other children.
Ross’s mum Becky Lane hoped that a visit to the special Father Christmas would help Ross get over his shyness. The Father Christmas everyone believes in even learned Makaton specially for his meeting with Ross, as this is the communication method the young boy uses.
“He was too frightened to use his sign language outside the house, but when he saw the video of the girl signing with Father Christmas, it showed him he didn’t have to be shy. He did really well. And he got a PacMan game as a gift. Now he’s not a shy boy any more,” Becky said.
34．According to the text, we can learn that Ross Griffiths ________．
A．caught a deadly disease
B．was afraid of communicating with strangers
C．found it hard to learn sign language
D．dreamed of becoming a Father Christmas
35．Seeing the video, Ross might feel ________．
A．proud B．angry C．calm D．excited
36．What does the underlined word “Makaton” most probably refer to
A．A form of signing. B．A foreign language.
C．A Christmas song. D．A kind of dance.
37．After meeting Father Christmas, we can learn that Ross ________．
A．knew how to shop wisely B．wanted to go to school again
C．rebuilt confidence in himself D．could speak like normal people
三、完形填空
When we communicate with other people, we often use not only words but also body language. Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 38 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. In fact, non verbal communication takes up about 50% of what we really 39 . And body language is particularly 40 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 41 a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. For example, different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact even with friends, and certainly not with 43 . People from Latin American countries, 44 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in conversation, it may look like a Latino is 45 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 46 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 47 — which the Latino will in return regard as 48 .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 49 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of 50 . But whatever the situation is, the best 51 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 52 .
38．A．straighter B．louder C．harder D．further
39．A．hope B．receive C．discover D．mean
40．A．immediate B．misleading C．important D．difficult
41．A．well B．far C．much D．long
42．A．trade B．distance C．connections D．greetings
43．A．strangers B．relatives C．neighbours D．enemies
44．A．in other words B．on the other hand C．in a similar way D．by all means
45．A．disturbing B．helping C．guiding D．following
46．A．closer B．faster C．in D．away
47．A．stepping forward B．going on C．backing away D．coming out
48．A．weakness B．carelessness C．friendliness D．coldness
49．A．talk B．travel C．laugh D．think
50．A．curiosity B．excitement C．misunderstanding D．nervousness
51．A．chance B．time C．result D．advice
52．A．noticed B．treated C．respected D．pleased
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We use both words and body language to express 53 (we) thoughts and opinions in interactions with other people. Just like spoken language, body language 54 (vary) from culture to culture. For example, making eye contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way 55 (display) interest. In other countries, eye contact is not always approved 56 . For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not 57 (social) permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to 58 old. The gesture for “OK” has different 59 (meaning) in different cultures. In Japan, someone 60 witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany. Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, 61 (shake) one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By 62 (compare), in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning.
