（23-24八年级下·江苏盐城·期中）Around the world, people have different ideas about what good manners are.
When you go to restaurants in different parts of the world, it’s important to know the right and wrong things to do. 1 In fact, if a restaurant is not noisy and lively, you may think there is something wrong with it. However, in many Western countries, restaurants are quiet places. 2
Paying the bill is also different from country to country. 3 In western countries, one person pays if he or she is entertaining clients (宴请宾客). When friends gat together, they usually share the cost. This is “going Dutch”. Also, when westerners pay the bill, they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called “leaving a tip”. 4 In the US, it is common to leave tips of 10%, 15%, or 20% of the bill. It is decided by how good the service is. Good waiters can make a lot of money!

Our body language shows lots of information about our ideas and feelings. And in different cultures, the meaning of the body language changes. If you know the differences of the body language among cultures, you can behave properly when you visit other countries. 1
In many countries, people usually shake hands or hug (拥抱) each other when they meet for the first time. 2 As a result, some visitors to these countries may feel uncomfortable. Also, people from some places of India would like to greet one another by touching feet instead of shaking hands.
3 If you’re in Belgium or Northern Italy, be sure to avoid brushing your hand under your chin (下巴) when speaking. It’s a way to tell someone to go away. And do you think the thumbs-up sign is always a hand gesture of “great” 4 In their cultures, the gesture is as rude as a middle finger sign in the West.
Usually, nodding means yes and shaking one’s head means no. But in some countries of Eastern Europe, it doesn’t work like that. The two movements there have opposite meanings. And in India, people nod their heads from side to side to tell you that they understand what you say. It’s a way of showing that they are listening to you carefully. 5
All in all, body language is of great importance in communicating with people from other cultures. We’d better take it seriously in daily life.
A．Here are a couple of examples.
B．Well, people in Greece or Sardinia don’t think so.
C．Hand gestures are also a kind of important body language.
D．They think it’s not easy for them to learn body language.
E．This can, of course, make people from other countries confused (困惑的).

（23-24八年级下·江苏盐城·期中）Around the world, people have different ideas about what good manners are.
When you go to restaurants in different parts of the world, it’s important to know the right and wrong things to do. 1 In fact, if a restaurant is not noisy and lively, you may think there is something wrong with it. However, in many Western countries, restaurants are quiet places. 2
Paying the bill is also different from country to country. 3 In western countries, one person pays if he or she is entertaining clients (宴请宾客). When friends gat together, they usually share the cost. This is “going Dutch”. Also, when westerners pay the bill, they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called “leaving a tip”. 4 In the US, it is common to leave tips of 10%, 15%, or 20% of the bill. It is decided by how good the service is. Good waiters can make a lot of money!
The way people eat food is different all over the world. 5 Chinese and Indian food, for example, are popular all over the world.

Our body language shows lots of information about our ideas and feelings. And in different cultures, the meaning of the body language changes. If you know the differences of the body language among cultures, you can behave properly when you visit other countries. 1
In many countries, people usually shake hands or hug (拥抱) each other when they meet for the first time. 2 As a result, some visitors to these countries may feel uncomfortable. Also, people from some places of India would like to greet one another by touching feet instead of shaking hands.
3 If you’re in Belgium or Northern Italy, be sure to avoid brushing your hand under your chin (下巴) when speaking. It’s a way to tell someone to go away. And do you think the thumbs-up sign is always a hand gesture of “great” 4 In their cultures, the gesture is as rude as a middle finger sign in the West.
Usually, nodding means yes and shaking one’s head means no. But in some countries of Eastern Europe, it doesn’t work like that. The two movements there have opposite meanings. And in India, people nod their heads from side to side to tell you that they understand what you say. It’s a way of showing that they are listening to you carefully. 5
