C Sometimes, using hand gestures can bring more information and be more convenient than words, especially when you are speaking to someone with no language in common. But the same gesture can mean something quite nasty and offensive (冒犯的) to a person from a different cultural background. “V” Shape In many countries, if you have your index and middle fingers pointed up in the “V” shape. It stands for winning. However, when you make the sign, be sure to have the front of your palm facing outward instead of inward, because showing people the back of your hand is impolite in some countries like the UK and Australia. Finger Snap (打响指) Snapping your thumb and middle finger over and over may mean one is trying to remind someone of something forgotten. While, in Latin America, snapping them means asking one to hurry up. But one thing you should remember is that, in many cultures, snapping fingers close to someone’s face is considered to be an offensive gesture. Fingers Crossed Crossing the index and middle fingers is regarded as a sign of wishing for good luck or fortune. At other times, people cross their fingers before telling a lie, as it is believed to countervail (抵消) the bad things coming from the lie. So it is both a positive and negative symbol. ILY sign This is always a nice hand gesture from American Sign Language. It combines the letters “I”, “L” and “Y” to mean “I love you.” People use this gesture very often to show their love for their family, friends and all the other people they love. ( )21. When you make the sign “V”, it’s ________ to show people the back of your hand in the UK. A. victory B. peace C. polite D. rude ( )22. If you know how to count with fingers, you can ________. A. tell a lie B. show your love to your family and friends. C. bargain in a market D. ask someone to hurry up. ( )23. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. thumb and middle finger B. thumb and index finger C. thumb and palm D. thumb and pinky ( )24. The writer mentioned so many different hand gestures to ________. A. tell the differences between American and Chinese cultures B. warn people to be careful when using a hand gesture C. ask people not to worry about making wrong gestures D. encourage people to use hand gestures more ( )25. From the passage we can know that ________. A. “V” shape sign means reminding someone of something forgotten B. fingers crossed is always considered as a positive sign C. ILY sign is often used to wish for good luck and fortune D. snapping fingers close to someone’s face may be impolite 3、 任务型完形填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使文意通顺，结构正确。(每个单词限用一次) ( i mportan ce right be improve life marr ied much she writer cheer ful     ) Little Women is Louisa May Alcott’s    26    famous novel.
