Answer the questions after scanning the text.
1. Why are the people visiting China
2. What parts of the are not represented by the visitors
3. Why is Julia Smith surprised
4. Why do you move back from Ahmed Aziz
Because they are interested in the development of business in China.
She is surprised because Mr. Garcia approaches her so close and touches her shoulder and kisses her on the cheek.
Because he is standing too close to you as you introduce yourself to him. (As a Chinese, people are not accustomed to standing too close to strangers.)
Australia, Africa and Central America.
5. What do French people often do when they meet people they know
6. Can we expect people everywhere to act the same Why
7. Why do you think we need to study body language
They shake hands and kiss each other twice on each cheek.
No. Because people from different culture or countries act quite differently sometimes.
It is quite necessary for us to study body language if we don’t want to cause any misunderstanding in communication /so that we don’t misunderstand each other.
8. Is the main character male or female How do you know
Male. From the sentence “But Ahmed Aziz simply nods at the two women” we know that there are two women around: Ms Smith and Madame Coulon. And also, according to the sentence “Men from the Middle East or some Muslim countries often stand quite close to other men to talk.” We know that the main character is a male.
Try to divide the whole passage into several parts and find out the main idea of each part.
