You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know-body language. All over the world, people “talk"with their hands, heads and eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British people do? Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names,they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved (保守的) and cautious. Therefore,they tend to spend more time making friends. They like to know you before they ask you something about your home.     When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well .Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends . When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles and says “hello”. Men do not kiss each other or shake hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other. 26．People can communicate with each other using ________. A．only words B．only body C．only the English language D．not only words but also body language 27．When Indians meet, they ________. A．kiss each other B．bow to each other C．put their hands together D．just smile 28．In America and Britain,________.

A．they are quite reserved and cautious B．they don’t like people to go to their homes C．they are not as friendly as the Americans D．they find it more interesting to stay alone 30．We can learn from the passage that ________. A．handshake and kiss cannot be used in greeting B．people can “talk” with their hands, heads and eyes C．only a few people use body language D．body language is more often used by people than words B When Omar was 12 years old, he had many friends. Then, he moved to a new place just before he entered middle school. In just one night, he was in a new place where everyone was different and he lived in a noisy apartment with his mother, sister and two cousins. He was sad and didn’t know who to talk to, which made him feel low spirits. It was hard for him to accept the change at first. While trying to adapt to his new community and school, he began seventh grade. However, he still felt everything and everyone around him was strange. One day, his teacher, Mrs. Green, noticed Omar was always alone. She asked Omar to come to her, “I always go to after-school classes. Why don’t you come with me next time?” Omar accepted the offer. There, he met Oliver. When Oliver noticed Omar struggling with a difficult math problem, he came over and helped him solve it. Gradually, they became friends and always shared their feelings. They hung out and did their homework together. Oliver didn’t say much, but he always lent Omar a hand. Omar wasn’t alone anymore, and his grades became better as well and a long-lost smile returned to his face. Although the first year of middle school was challenging, Omar had a good friend and the best teacher by his side. With their help and encouragement, Omar was getting better and better. He wanted to learn from them and be a person like them to help the students like him out of their low spirits. 31．Omar was in low spirits after his move because ________. A．he didn’t like the new house B．he had no friends to share his feelings C．he didn’t want to live with his family D．he met many difficulties in his study 32．What does the underlined phrase “adapt to” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Strange and busy. B．Shy and gentle. C．Kind and quiet. D．Humorous and careful. 35．What would most probably happen to Omar according to the passage? A．He would do homework with Oliver. B．He would move back to his old school. C．He would spend holidays with Oliver. D．He would try to help other students. C Cultural differences are everywhere, and greetings are a prime example. In Western cultures like the United States, a firm handshake is common when meeting someone. People usually maintain eye contact and smile while shaking hands. It’s a straightforward way to show respect and friendliness. In contrast, in Japan, bowing is the traditional greeting. The depth of the bow often indicates the level of respect. A deeper bow is given to someone of higher status. Facial expressions are also important; a polite smile is always expected. In some Middle Eastern cultures, a kiss on the cheek is a typical greeting between friends. However, the number of kisses can vary from one to three, depending on the region and the relationship between the people. These differences in greetings show how unique each culture is. Understanding them helps us communicate better and avoid misunderstandings when interacting with people from different backgrounds. 36．What is a common greeting in the United States? A．Bowing. B．Kissing on the cheek. C．A firm handshake. D．Hugging. 37．In Japan,what does the depth of a bow represent? A．The person’s mood. B．The level of respect. C．The person’s age.

In Western cultures like the United States, a firm handshake is common when meeting someone. People usually maintain eye contact and smile while shaking hands.
