Book 4 Unit 4 Body Language 根据课文改编的语法填空
Yesterday, another student and I, ______（represent）our university’s students
association, went to the Capital International Airport ______（meet） this year’s
international students. They were coming to study at Beijing University. We would
take them first to their dormitories ______ then to the student canteen. After half an
hour of ______（wait）for their flight to arrive. I saw several young people enter the
waiting area ______（look） around curiously. I stood for a minute ______（watch）
them and then went to greet them.
The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely ______（follow）
by Julia Smith from British. After I met them and then ______（introduce） them to
each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, ______（touch） her
shoulder and kissed her on ______ check! She stepped back ______（appear）
surprised and put up her hands, as if in defense. I guessed that there was probably a
major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in ______（smile）,
together with George Cook from Canada. As they _____( introduce) , George reached
his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so
his nose touched George’s ______(move) hand. They both
______(apologize)--another cultural mistake!
Ahmed Aziz , another international student , was from Jordon. When we met
yesterday ,he moved very close to me as I introduced ______(I). I moved back a bit,
but he came closer to ask ______ question and then ______(shake) my hand. When
Darlene Coulon from France came ______(dash) through the door, she recognized
Tony Garcia’s ______(smile) face. They shook hands and then ______(kiss) each
other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people
they know. Ahmed Aziz , on the contrary, simply ______(nod) at the girls. Men from
Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other
men to talk ______ will usually not touch women.
As I get to know more international ______(friend), I learn more ______ this
cultural “body language”. Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are
they comfortable in ______ same way with touching or distance ______ people. In
the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express
their feelings ______(use) unspoken “ language” through physical distance, actions
or posture. English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to others
______ touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people ______ places like
Spain, Italy of South American countries approach others closely and are more likely
to touch them. Most people ______ the world now greet each other by
______(shake) hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well , such as the
Japanese , ______ prefer to bow.
These actions are not good or bad , but are simply ways in which cultures have
developed. I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very
general – not all members of a culture behave in the same way . In general, though,
______(study) international customs can certainly help avoid ______(difficulty) in
today’s world of culture crossroads!
