3+ 课时作业 20　 BODY LANGUAGE Ⅰ. 阅读理解 " (2022·云南省昆明市调研) O􀆳Plerou Grebet is a 22-year-old graphic design student in Côte d􀆳Ivoire, Africa. Everywhere he looks, he sees signs of Western influence—from the glass skyscrapers and malls lining the streets in his home city to the way his fellows speak and dress. “We are living like we􀆳re Western people,” he says. That even applies to the keyboard culture—when his friends text using the messaging apps, they especially love to use the “ tears of joy” face emoji (表情符号) . So he used his design skills to create digital stickers that show what he thinks is missing: symbols of history, life and culture in Côte d􀆳Ivoire and neighboring countries. In 2018, he released a free pack of over 360 stickers in a mobile app called “ Zouzoukwa ”, which means “ image” in the local Bété language. Available on Android and iOS, it now has over 120, 000 downloads. It􀆳s more impressive than other emoji apps, with the feature of connecting to the realities of Africans using it. “ It would make their jokes even livelier,” says Grebet. The stickers include traditional masks, African instruments like the djembe drum and people dressed in a variety of prints and clothing that can reflect local tradition. Some of his favorite designs are a series of facial expressions commonly used in his area, but not available as standardized emojis. There􀆳s a woman with lips pursed, giving some serious side- eye—a sign you can use when your friend keeps you waiting long for no reason
