Another time,I was in Japan after a terrible earthquake.I met a lady.Her house fell down.Her son was missing and many people thought it was impossible to find him.But the lady did not give up hope.She kept moving heavy bricks (for four days by herself.She did not stop until she found her son.He was still alive.

So next time you talk to someone,pay attention to both their words and their body language-you might discover more than you expect ()9.How does the writer express his idea in Paragraph 2?

D.People may become shyer in conversations. ·11· (）l2.How is the text organized?(①=Paragraph 1,②=Paragraph2..) ① ①②③④ 4 ②) ① 5 ③④⑤ ②③④⑤ A B C D 0 In China and abroad,people sometimes communicate without speaking.How do they do this? They use body language.But body language is not the same in all cultures. In China and some other countries,friends shake hands to greet each other.They may be new friends or old,but they shake hands to show friendship and trust.In some European countries,people kiss each other on both cheeks.It's another way to show friendship and love. In India,when people nod their heads,they mean "no".And when people shake their heads, they mean "yes".But in most other countries,these things mean the opposite. A thumbs--up means“okay”or“well done”in most cultures.In Australia,however, it is not polite.In Japan,it means "five",and in Germany,it means "one".In most A thumbs-up places,people point to things with their fingers.But in some places,people point with their lips because they think if someone points with a finger,it's rude and they feel uncomfortable. When Italians wave goodbye,it may look like "Come here!"to Americans.But the American goodbye wave looks like "no"in many parts of Europe and South America. One body language is the same all around the world:a smile.It is a common language.Try it, and you'll experience... ()13.Which of the following shows friendship in some European countries?
