Thinking in a clever way

Long long ago, there was a man named Akbar. He liked to ask people ___16___ questions. It was very hard to answer these questions, and ___17___ people could answer them correctly (正确地).

Once, he asked a very strange question. No one knew the ___18___ it. At this moment, a man named Birbal came up to Akbar. “May I ask what the question is?” Birbal asked.

Akbar said, “How many ___19___ are there in this city?”

Birbal answered ___20___, “There are 50, 589 crows.”

“How can you be so ___21___?” asked Akbar.

Birbal said, “Go and count them. If you find a greater number of crows than I gave, it means some have come to visit their friends ___22___. If you find a smaller number of crows, it means some have gone to visit their friends some other places.”

三、阅读理解（每题2分，共10分）

Do you think we only talk with words? No, we also use body language and gestures (手势)! Some gestures are common. This means that people from any culture can understand them. For example, pointing at something means“that one”or“that person”. This may not always be polite, but everyone can understand it.

Another easy gesture is“come here”. But people do it differently in different places. In America, people hold out their hand with the palm (手掌) up and move their finger back and forth (往外) . But in China, don’t do that! They will be angry because people do it to ask animals to come over. They call people with their palm down.

Even the same gesture can mean different things in different places. In America,when people make a“V”shape with two fingers, it means “winning”. But in England, if you show the back of your hand when making a“V”, it’s not nice! People might get angry.

And shaking your head can mean different things too. In many countries, if you shake your head from side to side, it means“no”. But in Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯), this means“yes”.

Isn’t that interesting?

26. What does the underlined word“common”mean in Paragraph 1?

A. 通用的. B. 难懂的. C. 奇怪的. D. 特别的.

27. People call others to come over with their palm down in ________.

A. America B. China C. Britain D. Saudi Arabia

28. Which gesture will make people in Britain angry?
