22、

Most people of the world do not bow(鞠躬) to each other, but Japanese people do. They often bow when they meet. Men bow to men and to women. Men and women may also bow to each other, but usually only if they do not know each other. The younger, or more junior person bows more deeply than the older, or more senior person. The Japanese also bow to say “thank you” for something, or to apologize for something.

Schoolchildren do not bow to each other. Schoolgirls say goodbye to each other by waving their hands and saying “bye bye”. Schoolboys may copy Westerners and pat each other on the back or make “high fives” with their hands.

Many types of hand gestures(手势) have special meanings. You may see Japanese people put their thumb and index finger together to form a circle. This circle represents(代表) a coin and this gesture is the sign for money. If the Japanese want to indicate(表明) “me” without using words, they point to themselves by putting a finger to their noses, but Westerners would point to their chests. All young Japanese children learn to make a “V” sign with their middle and index fingers when someone takes their photograph. In Japan, this sign means “peace”, but in England this sign means “victory”. To say “No”, “I don’t know” or “I don’t understand”, Japanese people wave their hands in front of their faces, so it may be difficult to understand exactly what someone means.

Nodding of the head may also be confusing. When Japanese people nod their heads, it does not mean they agree with what you are saying. It means that they understand what you are saying. You must also be careful not to misunderstand a smile. When the Japanese smile they may not be happy, in fact they may be embarrassed(尴尬的).

As in most countries in the world, Japanese people use a lot of body language. Some of it you will understand and some of it will be new or confusing to you.

【1】Japanese people bow ________.

A．occasionally

B．sometimes

C．often

D．never

【2】Japanese men and women ________ bow to each other ________.

A．usually; when they know each other

B．always; when they first meet each other

C．usually; when they first meet each other

D．always; when they know each other

【3】When Japanese people point to their noses it means ________.

A．they need to blow their noses

B．there is a bad smell

C．they are lying

D．they are talking about themselves

【4】When a Japanese person nods, it may mean ________.

A．“I am happy”

B．“I agree”

C．“I understand”

D．“I disagree”

【5】Some body language used in Japan is ________.

A．international

B．Italian

C．childish

D．only used at home

【6】The Japanese ________.

A．don’t like using body language

B．don’t use much body language

C．only use Western body language

D．use a lot of body language

23、   Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars(乞丐) while you’re enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity on(同情) them who are so poor and lonely or do you just feel afraid of their terrible shapes? As one of the most special groups, disabled people’s living conditions(条件)—not only their material(物质的) conditions, but their mental(精神的) world, really need improvement. The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First, don’t look down upon them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shapes of the disabled. Try to treat them equally. Because they are a part of society(社会), we can’t discard(抛弃) them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If you can be a volunteer and do some work for disabled people, that would be very nice. That does help not only to the disabled people but also to yourself because you will feel good after your kind action. If every one of us gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful wonderland!
