When the waiter brought him a plate of delicious-looking fried noodles, he smiled and made an OK sign at the waiter with his thumb(大拇指) and forefinger(食指) linked in a circle. Looking angry, the waiter then picked up the dish and thrown it to his lap. What he did wrong, he wondered. Well, actually the reason is that this sign has quite different meanings in different countries. It means ‘OK’, ‘good’ to Englishmen, French understands it as ‘zero’ or ‘worthless’, while Japanese would read it as ‘money’. And d on’t show this to a Northern Greek. About 2000 years ago, ancient Greek have been found showing this gesture as a sexual insult(性侵犯). It is still thought the same way today.The gesture ‘thumb-up’ is also commonly translated differently. In English, it is popularly known as ‘OK’. But to most Europeans, it signals the number 1, since they count from 1 to 5 beginning with the thumb for 1 and ending with the little finger at number 5. While American, British and Australian would use the thumb up to show someone needs a ride on the road.For another example, in Columbia, when describing height, people must choose different gestures depending on whether he is talking about a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm(手掌) of the hand parallel(平行) to the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter. In Columbia, this gesture is made for the description of animals.28. What does the OK signal mean to Japanese?A. Good.B. Zero.C. Worthless.D. Money.29. Why did the waiter in the second paragraph get angry?A. The man didn’t like the food he ordered.B. The waiter brought the wrong food.C. The waiter misunderstood the customer.D. The man had a fight with the waiter.30. Which gesture may Americans use to ask for a ride?A. Thumb-up.B. Bow.C. Hand-shaking.D. Keeping–the-palm-up.31. What’s the best title of the article?A. Funny stories about gestures.B. Gestures in different cultures.C. Interesting things around the world.D. Travel around the world.DA rumor（传言）of treasures has some villagers dreaming of wealth, while others see it as a cheat. It’s said that in the 1800s a white man left treasures inside the caves.This system of caves has become the center of excitement in the village of Maraigushu, near Naivasha, Kenya. It is not clear where the rumor came from, but some locals here believe white settlers hid gold and other precious metals in the cave many years ago.Local villager Edward Maina says the rumors have brought a lot of treasure hunters flooding into town to dig in the caves. Villagers say the original treasure seekers entered the cave nearly two months ago before being arrested by police. Local governments closed up the entrance, but they broke back in.While neither gold nor silver have been found yet, but another important resource was found: water. Many rely on a natural spring coming from the cave and local officials, among them Ward Councilor Gaka Mwaniki, worry the digging could cut off or pollute the supply. “We’ve seen ourselves there’s nothing in those caves. The cave i s natural. It’s the water table that they’re interfering with,” says Mwaniki.Local resident James Mbugua Njenga wants the situation brought under control.“If at all there’s treasure inside there, let the government come and dig and protect the water table,” says Njenga.It might be true, it might be a cheat. Whatever the case, treasure hunters continue to be drawn to the mystery of the caves.32. What did the treasure hunters do after the entrance was closed up?A. They looked for another cave.B.
