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

22、Jessy:

Australia at last! The flight was tiring, but here I am at last, in Sydney!

Look! Here we are at last! The Sydney Opera House! It looks like shells! It's wonderful and amazing! And I'm taking the plane to New Zealand on Tuesday. I'll post again from there.

Coffee and Paris! Paris is beautiful! We went on a great city tour. We also took a boat ride on the River Seine. And it's nicer to just sit at a street cafe and watch the world go by.

Anna:

Don't come here! We are staying on a farm in Utah. There is nothing! It is too quiet. Every morning we get up early, and we ride the horses. Then it's breakfast and more riding—not my idea of fun!

23、Dear Flora,

We are in Australia for our summer holidays. We're having a great time here. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. There is so much to see that it is impossible for me to tell you everything. Sydney is a beautiful city. There are many big trees and beautiful flowers around the houses and they look really beautiful. There are also some special animals in Australia, such as kangaroos and koalas. They are really lovely.

During the past three days, Marie, May and I have visited many places of interest around Sydney. I'd like to spend more time here. But we will fly to another city, Cairns, to see coral beds (珊瑚礁)tomorrow. It is said that words cannot describe the beauty of the colourful coral. Many famous cartoon films were made there. Now we are busy packing our bags so that we will not lose time when we leave. We can enjoy ourselves in Cairns this   time. I'm looking forward to going there!

Best wishes!
