When we have a conversation with someone, we may be using more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. That’s why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means ‘He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head’. In our Chinese culture, nodding(点头) our head up and down means ‘yes’ and shaking our head from side to side means ‘no’. However, in parts of India, Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb（大拇指）and the second finger, it means ‘You’re all right or Everything is OK’. Howe ver, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means ‘You’re worth zero’. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture（手势）. Or we are thought to be very rude.The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the V sign meant ‘peace’. However, during World War II, it meant ‘victory’. In Greece, it is a veryinsulting（污辱性）sign.Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.( ) 56. In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is ________.A. cleverB. stupidC. headacheD. angry( ) 57. In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he __________.A. doesn’t agreeB. agreeC. is happyD. is sad( ) 58. In France, if you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means _______________.A. you are cleverB. everything is OKC. it is trueD. you are worth nothing( ) 59. Which country’s body lan guage is most different from our usual thinking?A. FranceB. EnglandC. GreeceD. India( ) 60. V sign meant _______________ about forty years ago.A. victoryB. killingC. festivalD. peace第II卷非选择题共30分五、单词拼写（共5小题，计5分）61、You’ll feel much better after you take some _____________(药)62、Do you think the story sounds_____________ (可信)after you finish hearing it?63、You won’t be _____________(能够) to get to the airport on time if you don’t hurry.64、He realised that someone has ___________ (偷) the book.65、My deskmate is an __________ (诚实的) girl, and she never tells lies.the biggest international radio stations in the world .
