We all know that language can be a problem in communication, but have you ever thought about the “silent language” — body language? Gestures (手势), facial expressions, and how we use personal space can mean very different things in different cultures. Misunderstanding this “silent language” can sometimes lead to trouble.
Let’s look at some common examples. The “OK” gesture , made by forming a circle with your thumb (大拇指) and index finger, means “good” or “okay” in many countries like the USA. However, in Brazil and Germany, it can be very rude. The “thumbs-up” gesture is positive in America and China, but in parts of the Middle East, it’s a rude sign. Eye contact is another interesting one. In North America and Europe, keeping eye contact shows you are honest and paying attention. In some Asian cultures, too much direct eye contact, especially in formal situations can be seen as disrespectful.
Even how close you stand to someone sends a message. People from “contact cultures” like those in Latin America or the Middle East like to stand closer when talking. People from “non-contact cultures” (非接触文化) like those in Northern Europe or Japan prefer more personal space. If someone from a non-contact culture steps back during a conversation, they might not be rude; they might just need more space to feel comfortable.
Understanding these differences doesn’t mean you have to change your own habits completely. It means understanding and being respectful. When you are with people from another culture, noticing how they act can be a good guide. Remember, a warm smile is a piece of body language that is almost always understood the right way around the world.
24. According to Paragraph 2, what should you AVOID doing during a business meeting in Japan to show respect?
A. Smiling warmly from time to time.
B. Keeping a comfortable personal space.
C. Looking directly into your partner’s eyes for a long time.
D. Using the “OK” gesture to agree with an idea.
25. What does the writer mean by saying “a piece of body language that is almost always understood the right way” in the last paragraph?
A. Some body language is very simple to learn.
B. A smile usually sends a positive and friendly message everywhere.
C. People all over the world use the same body language.
D. It is always right to use body language instead of words.
26. The writer writes this passage mainly to ________.
A. list all the different body languages in the world
B. warn people never to use body language in foreign countries
C. show that understanding cultural differences in body language is important
D. explain why people from Latin America like to stand closer
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do
B. The Dangerous Body Language
C. How to Make Friends in Different Countries
D. Body Language: The“Silent Language” Across Cultures
C
One in every ten people in the world is left-handed. It is a simple fact, like having brown hair. But for much of history, being left-handed was not seen that way. Left-handers were often forced to use their right hands. Why did something so natural seem like a problem?
First, the world is built for the right-handed. Scissors, desks, doors- most things are easier to use with the right hand. So, when a left-handed person uses them, they can seem clumsy (笨拙的) or slow. It is easy to think, “This person is not good with tools,” instead of thinking, “These tools are not made for them.” The first idea says the person is wrong. The second idea says the tool. For a long time, people chose the first idea.
Second, stories and old ideas made it worse. In many languages, the word for “left” was connected to bad things like weakness or bad luck. People also used their right hand for “clean” actions like eating, and their left hand for “dirty” ones. These old habits, repeated over time, made left-handedness seem not just different, but actually wrong.
Now, we know better. Science tells us that which hand you use is mostly decided before you are born. It is not a choice or a mistake. We also see left-handers doing great things in sports, art, and science. This new discovery and these good examples have slowly changed people’s minds. Today, fewer people think being left-handed is a problem.
The real story here is not about hands. It is about how we see anyone who is different. When we see something unusual, our first feeling is often to call it “wrong.” But if we stop and ask “why,” we might find there is no real problem at all—only a difference. Understanding this can help us be kinder, not just to left-handers, but to everyone.
28. In the past, why did left-handed people often seem “clumsy”?
A. Because they did not practice using their hands enough.
B. Because most things they used were designed for right-handed people.
C. Because they were often nervous when other people watched them.
D. Because they were born with less skill than right-handed people.
29. In Paragraph 4, the writer talks about “science” and “good examples” mainly to explain ________.
A. how to become left-handed
B. the real reasons why left-handers are clever
C. why people’s ideas about left-handers started to change
D. what schools should teach about left-handed people
30. How does the writer organize the whole passage to make his point?
A. By telling a personal story from beginning to end.
B. By giving examples of problems and then their solutions.
C. By describing a social fact, discussing the reasons, and then moving to a lesson.
D. By listing facts and numbers.

How to Make a Good First Impression
Meeting new people can be exciting but also a little scary. You want people to like you. Making a good first impression is important, and it’s not as hard as you think. Here is some simple advice.
First, be on time. ____31____ It shows that you are responsible and that you respect the other person’s time. If you are going to be late, try to call or send a message.
Second, dress neatly and cleanly. You don’t need to wear expensive clothes. ____32____ Clean and tidy clothes tell people that you care about the situation and about yourself.
Third, stand or sit up straight. ____33____ It makes you look more confident and energetic. Slouching can make you seem tired or not interested. Also, facing the person you’re talking to, rather than turning away, shows that you are focused on them.
Fourth, listen carefully when the other person is talking. ____34____ Ask a question or two about what they said. Both of these show that you are really interested in them.
Finally, be yourself. Don’t try to act like someone else. People can usually tell if you are not being real. ____35____ That is the most attractive thing of all.
Follow these easy tips, and you will find that making new friends-and getting along with people becomes much easier.
A. It is polite to let others finish their sentences.
B. Arriving a few minutes early is even better.
C. Good listening is more important than good talking.
D. Being honest and true to yourself makes people feel comfortable.
E. Good posture (仪态) shows confidence and respect.

Ⅶ.任务型阅读:(共5小题,计10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。
Have you ever worried about making mistakes when talking with people from other countries? New technology is trying to solve this problem. A translation earphone is a small device that fits in your ear. It has many benefits: such as translating spoken words from one language to another in almost real-time. This sounds like something from a science fiction movie, but it is becoming real.
However, technology alone is not enough for perfect cross-cultural communication. Language is deeply connected to culture. For example, in Japan, people often use indirect and polite expressions. A direct translation might sound rude. In some cultures, certain hand gestures or eye contact have special meanings that a machine might not understand. Therefore, even with a translation earphone, users still need to learn about basic local customs and *etiquette.
These devices are very helpful in places like international airports, hotels, and business meetings. They can break down language barriers quickly. But remember, they are tools to help communication, not replace human understanding. The best way to connect with people from different cultures is still to learn their language and respect their traditions.
*tips: “etiquette” means the formal rules of correct or polite behavior in society.
56. What is a translation earphone according to Paragraph 1?
It is a _______________________ that fits in the ear.
57. According to Paragraph 2, what should users do besides using the earphone?
They should also learn about _______________________.
58. In Paragraph 3, which word in the passage means “障碍”?
It is “_______________________”
59. Why might the earphone NOT work well in Japan according to the passage?
Because Japanese people often use _______________________ while direct translation might sound rude.
60. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
To explain both the _______________________ and the problems of translation technology.
