However, the same body language may mean totally different things in different countries. Taking the “OK” gesture for example, in China and the United States, it means “everything is fine”. But in some South American countries, this gesture is very impolite and rude. Local people will feel offended when they see it. Another common gesture is thumb-up. In most countries, it means “good” or “well done”. However, in Iran, this gesture is not polite and should never be used in public. Besides gestures, eye contact is also different. In Western cultures, looking into others’ eyes while talking shows honesty and respect. But in many Asian countries, teenagers are taught to avoid direct eye contact with elders, which means showing respect to the older generation. These small differences remind us that we must learn local body language customs before communicating with foreigners. Correct body language helps us express ourselves better and avoid unnecessary mistakes. 1. What does the “OK” gesture mean in China? A. It is rude. B. Everything is fine. C. Well done. D. I don’t agree. 2. Which gesture is impolite in Iran? A. Waving hands. B. Bowing slightly. C. Thumb-up. D. Smiling. 3. Why do Asian teenagers avoid direct eye contact with elders? A. They are shy. B. It shows respect. C. They are dishonest. D. It is a local game. 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Body language has the same meaning worldwide. B. OK gesture is polite in all countries. C. Eye contact rules are different in different cultures. D. We don’t need to learn body language customs. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of body language in cross-cultural communication. B. Different greeting ways in foreign countries. C. How to use daily gestures correctly. D. The history of body language. B When you receive gifts from foreign friends, different cultural rules are waiting for you. Knowing these rules can help you behave properly and show your sincerity. In most Western countries, people will open the gift at once in front of the giver. They will show their thanks and praise the gift sincerely. This is a way to show that they love the gift and respect the giver’s kindness. If you put the gift away without opening it, Western people may think you are not interested or impolite. Things are different in many Eastern countries like China, Japan and Korea. People usually don’t open the gift immediately. They will open it later in private. Opening gifts in front of others is considered greedy and rude. Besides, people in these countries usually refuse a gift politely for several times before accepting it. Although the gift-receiving manners are different, the core is the same. People send gifts to show friendship and kindness. No matter what the rules are, being sincere and respectful is always the most important thing in cross-cultural communication. 1. What do Western people do after receiving a gift? A. Put it away at once. B. Open it right away and thank the giver. C. Refuse it many times. D. Open it alone later. 2. Why do Eastern people not open gifts in front of others? A. They dislike the gifts. B. It is considered greedy and rude. C. They have no time. D. The gifts are not good enough. 3. What is the same core of gift-receiving manners worldwide? A. Being quick and casual. B. Being polite and sincere. C. Opening gifts publicly. D. Refusing gifts again and again. 4. The underlined word “sincerity” means _ in Chinese. A. 真诚 B. 冷漠 C. 疑惑 D. 惊喜 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. We should open all gifts at once. B. Eastern manners are better than Western ones. C. Cultural differences exist in gift-receiving manners. D. We should refuse all foreign gifts. . 补全对话 阅读下面对话,在每个空白处填入一个适当的句子,使对话完整、合乎情境。 A: Hey, Linda! You look focused. 1. _ B: I’m learning about cross-cultural manners in our English textbook.
