二、阅读理解
(一)
Living in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They thought that miscommunications (错误传达) were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” or “no”.
On Lisa's first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, it was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learnt that the woman had answered her: she had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which means “yes” in Micronesia.
Jane remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant. It was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jane waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students
if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from.
You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
