22、Gesture (手势) culture

I was taking a photo of my Chinese friend. Suddenly she put two figures up at me. “Why are you doing that?”I shouted. It took a long time before she realized why I was upset. Showing someone two fingers means “cheese” to the camera. It is not harmful in China, but in fact it is very rude in the UK.

Language difference may not on only come from grammar and sounds, because it means gestures too. Perhaps you should know that waving one hand across your face means “you are crazy” in Germany. However, tapping one finger on the side of your head shows the same meaning in the UK. If you don’t understand the meanings of the gestures clearly in different countries, you may make big mistakes!

The idea of gesture mistranslation is so common that the HSBC even used it in an advertisement. A man travels around South America. He uses the sign of a thumb and a forefinger made into a circle to mean “that’s OK”. So everyone looks excited and smiles back. Then he shows the same gesture to a man in Brazil, and everyone falls silent, because this is so rude to a man.

Therefore, understanding different cultures and gestures can help you avoid many mistakes in daily life.

【1】Showing someone two fingers is ________ in the UK.

A．rude

B．excited

C．polite

D．funny

【2】According to the passage, language difference includes grammar, sounds and ________.

A．feelings

B．moods

C．gestures

D．ideas

【3】What does tapping one finger on the side of your head mean in the UK?

A．You are crazy.

B．That’s OK.

C．You’re nude.

D．It is harmful.

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．The same gesture has different meanings in different cultures.

B．Different countries have different customs.

C．The tradition of gesture languages.

D．The understanding of gesture languages.

23、One day a poor man was cutting a big piece of wood (木头) near a river. Suddenly his old axe (斧子) fell into the water. He felt very sad because he lost his only axe. At this time a beautiful fairy (仙女) came out and asked the man what the was matter.

“I have lost my axe.” he said, “It fell into the water when I was cutting the wood.”

The fairy showed him a gold axe and asked, “Is that yours?”

“No.” said the man.

The fairy then showed him a silver (银) axe and asked again, “Is this yours?”

“No.” again answered the man.

Then she showed him the old axe.

“Yes, that is mine.” called out the happy man.

“I know it well enough.” said the fairy, “I only wanted to see if you would tell me the truth, and now I’ll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides (包括) your own one.”

根据短文，判断正（T）误（F）。

【1】The old axe fell into the river when the man was cutting the wood.

【2】The man felt very happy because he lost his only axe.

【3】The fairy didn’t know which was the man’s axe.

【4】The man was happy when he saw the gold axe.

【5】At last, the man had three axes.

24、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词， 是其内容通顺，每空格限填一次，首字母已给）

Do you know something about rings(年轮)? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?

A tree will g【1】 well in a climate(气候) with lots of sunshine and rainfall. And little sunshine or rainfall will limit the growth of a tree. We can see the c【2】 of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, we can find out the weather ten years ago, and we can count the rings of a tree from the o【3】 to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is n【4】 the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.

Tree rings are important not only for studying the weather but also for studying the h【5】 of men. Many centuries ago there l【6】 a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand there - no trees and no people. What happened?

A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave b【7】 they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.
