Unit 4　BODY LANGUAGE 主题素养积累 　　[导读] 手势的诠释在不同的文化背景中差异很大,怎样在跨文化交际中避免误会和尴尬呢?下面的四种手势一定能对你有所帮助。 The “thumbs-up” While the Western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal,there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble. In West Africa, as well as Greece, Italy and the Middle East,the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱). The “OK” This sign is mainly used by divers (潜水员) to mean “OK”.Basically the meaning comes out as “great”, or “completely fine”. However, in a few countries in Europe,people may think you’re telling them that you think they’re a “zero”. The “V-sign” The sign comes in two formats(形式): one with the palm (手掌) faced outwards,and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing—“victory”.However,if the outside of your hand is facing your target, you’re giving somebody an insult in many English-speaking countries. High five An action to celebrate victory or to express happiness in which two people raise one arm each and hit their open hands together. 主题词句背诵 1.land sb in trouble使某人陷入困境 2.While the Western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal, there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble. 虽然西方文化已经习惯把竖起大拇指作为一种积极的信号,但在某些文化中,竖起大拇指可能会使你陷入困境。 3.Basically the meaning comes out as “great”, or “completely fine”.However,in a few countries in Europe,people may think you’re telling them that you think they’re a “zero”. 基本上,这个意思是“很好”,或者“非常好”。然而,在欧洲的一些国家,人们可能认为你在告诉他们你认为他们是一无是处的。 Period One　Reading and Thinking—Comprehension 课前自主探究 Task 1: Fast Reading Ⅰ What’s the text about?   Ⅱ Text Structure Analysing Task 2: Careful Reading (　)1.What should you do to demonstrate respect in Japan while talking to an older person?
