(Text 1)
W:Dennis, I'm writing a paper about body language in different countries. Could you talk with me about what you know?
M:Sure. In Iran, people emphasize greetings. Even at a distance where hugs and kisses are not possible, people will make a gesture to say hello.
W:Speaking of that, when Maori meet, they rub each other's noses at least two or three times in New Zealand. The more they do this, the better their relationship is. Anything else?
M:Well, in Nigeria, it's rude to give a thumbs-up sign.
W:While in Britain, Australia and New Zealand, travelers use it to ask for a ride. And in my motherland China, it's used to praise someone. It looks like we need to be careful to use body language.
M:Yeah, you'd better search for more information online.
W:OK. The abstract of my paper is almost finished.
M:You also need to pay more attention to the body and the conclusion. And remember the conclusion should reflect your deeper understanding, which shouldn't be shallow.
W:OK.
M:I hope you can publish your paper one day.
(Text 2)
W:Isn't it interesting that some things have good meanings in some cultures and bad meanings in others?
M:What do you mean?
W:Well, for example, if you give somebody the “thumbs up” sign here in Scotland, it means “good” or “OK”. But if you do it in some parts of Italy or Eastern Europe, it means something bad.
M:What does it mean?
W:Trust me, and you don't want to know! But that reminds me ... when Indians shake their heads from side to side, it means “yes”.
M:Wow, that's confusing. What if you want to say “Hello” or “Goodbye” there?
W:I think you just wave normally.
(Text 3)
Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs,so that they will not think us ill-mannered.Here are examples of the things that a well-educated person does or does not do. If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first.When the door opens, you will not move before the host says “Come in, please”.
After you enter the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat.When a cup of tea is put on a tea table before you or sent to your hand,you will say,“Thank you.”And receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered.Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes.In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty,this is not done.
In a Malay house, a guest never finishes the food on the table.He leaves a little to show that he has had enough.In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it.This will make the host, especially the hostess pleasant.

主题活动手势的误导
A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
Gestures can be as informative as speech, but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice when we're using them.
While the recollection (回忆) of both adults and children is easy to react to suggestion, the memories of children are known to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.
Previous research, for example, has shown that detailed questions often cause false answers; when asked, say, “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It's not that the child is lying on purpose. Rather, the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions, such as“What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is, children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn't just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders said, as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. “It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”
In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened.”
Questions:
1.Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?
Their memories are affected easily.
2.What does the underlined word “impart” in paragraph 6 mean?
It means “pass on”.
3.What would be the best title for the text?
Gestures Can Mislead Children
4.What are the implications of the findings mentioned in the article?
The findings mentioned in the article remind us that parents, social workers, psychologists, and lawyers need to pay attention not only to what they say, but also to their gestures, because gestures can influence children's memories and answers. The findings are important to protect children's rights and provide accurate evidence.
