In North America, a thumbs-up sign generally means "good job" or "OK." However, in some parts of the Middle East and South America, this gesture is considered rude. Similarly, the "OK" sign made by connecting the thumb and index finger is positive in the US, but it is offensive in Brazil and Germany. Eye contact is another area where cultures differ. In Western cultures, direct eye contact is often interpreted as a sign of honesty and confidence. If you don't maintain eye contact, people might think you are hiding something. On the other hand, in many Asian and African cultures, prolonged (长时间的) eye contact can be seen as aggressive or disrespectful, especially when speaking to elders or people in authority. Even the way we greet each other physically changes. In France, it is common to greet friends with a kiss on both cheeks. In Thailand, people press their palms together in a prayer-like gesture called a "wai." Understanding these differences is key to successful cross-cultural communication. 16. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Body language is the same all over the world. B. Body language differs across cultures. C. Eye contact is the most important part of communication. D. People should avoid using body language. 17. According to the passage, what does a thumbs-up mean in some parts of the Middle East? A. Good job. B. OK. C. It is rude. D. Hello. 18. In Western cultures, what does direct eye contact usually show? A. Honesty and confidence. B. Aggression and disrespect. C. Shyness and fear. D. Boredom and tiredness. 19. How do people greet each other in Thailand? A. With a handshake. B. With a kiss on both cheeks. C. With a "wai" gesture. D. With a thumbs-up. 20. What is the purpose of the passage? A.

In Japan, it is perfectly acceptable to slurp (发出啧啧声) your noodles. In fact, slurping is a sign that you are enjoying your meal. However, in most Western countries, slurping is considered very rude. Chopsticks etiquette (礼仪) is also complex. Never stick your chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice, as this resembles incense (香) burned for the dead and is associated with funerals. Also, don't point at people with your chopsticks. In India and some Middle Eastern countries, people eat with their right hand. The left hand is considered unclean because it is used for washing after using the toilet. Using your left hand to pass food or eat is a major social mistake. Finally, tipping customs vary. In the United States, tipping 15-20% is standard in restaurants. In Japan, tipping is not expected and can sometimes be seen as insulting. Always check local customs before you travel to avoid embarrassment. 21. According to the passage, why is it acceptable to slurp noodles in Japan? A. It shows you are in a hurry. B. It shows you are enjoying the meal. C. It is a way to cool the noodles down. D. It is a traditional greeting. 22. What should you NOT do with your chopsticks in Japan? A. Use them to eat rice. B. Pick up food with them. C. Stick them upright in rice. D. Hold them in your right hand. 23. Why is the left hand considered unclean in India and the Middle East? A. Because it is weaker than the right hand. B. Because it is used for hygiene purposes after using the toilet. C. Because it is used for eating only. D. Because it is considered lucky. 24. How much should you tip in a US restaurant? A. 5-10%. B. 10-15%. C. 15-20%. D. No need to tip. 25. What is the main message of Passage B? A. Japanese food is the best. B. Tipping is important everywhere. C. Table manners are different around the world. D. Chopsticks are difficult to use.
