We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don't Let the Wrong Gesture (手势) Ruin Your Day.
English is an international language. But in your book, communication without words is paid more attention to . .
June: Well, gestures and other body languages肢体语言 have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I've described many of these customs习俗 and cultural differences, so my readers won't get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone in the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding(误解)?
June:In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake-which is usual in some countries-may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding?
June:Take the gesture for "Come here" for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm(手掌) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means "goodbye". And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.

D. Her readers will always know where to go.
( ) 8. Which gesture should you use if you want to say "goodbye" in southern Europe?
A.The palm up B .The palm down
C. The palm in D. The palm off
( ) 9. According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned in June's book?
A. Some common gestures. B. Different meanings of a gesture.
C.The importance of body language. D.The development of body language.

6、 读写综合
A、回答问题(5分)
Marathon pacers(配速员), sometimes called “rabbits”, are usually good runners. They run at a fixed speed and help other runners finish the race in their planned time. They often carry a sign or balloon showing their target(目标) finishing time.
A marathon usually has 10‑15 pacers, each guiding a group with a different speed. Smaller marathons may have groups every 15 minutes, while bigger ones have groups every 5 minutes.
Running with a pacer has many benefits. They help you keep a proper speed. Starting too fast makes you tired early; starting too slow makes it hard to speed up later. You only need to follow your pacer. Besides, pacers give you encouragement when the race gets tough. Many runners get their best results with pacers, and some use two for different race halves.
Being a marathon pacer is difficult. You need marathon‑running experience and the ability to keep a right race speed.
1. What do marathon pacers usually carry to show their target finishing time?
2. How many pacers are there usually in a marathon?
3. Can we infer that larger marathons provide more detailed speed choices for runners?
4. Why might a runner fail to get a good time without a pacer according to the text?
5. What quality can we know a person needs besides marathon experience to become a pacer?
B.书面表达(15分)

Dear sir,
I'm happy to hear there will be an outdoor activity in our school at the end of this month. I like climbing mountains with my classmates. We can enjoy the beauty of nature. We can also make friends and help each other on the way.
To make the activity more interesting, I hope to go to East Mountain on June 25th. Since it's a little far, we'd better meet at the school gate at 7:30 a. m. and go there by bus. We can collect some history stories about the famous mountain so that we can share them together. It' ll be nice if we can try some local food for lunch there. In the afternoon, we can pick up the rubbish to protect the environment. Then we can go home at 4:30 p. m. We' re sure to have great fun.
Hope my suggestions help.
Yours,
Zhang Hua
