When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally(非語(yǔ)言地), before saying anything by making gestures. According to a pioneer in nonverbal communication, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you”.
In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his / her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right”. However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.
In the United States, raising your clasped hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”. It is the sign prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.
In the United States, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger in a circle and the other three fingers spread out means “Everything is O.K.” and is frequently used by astronauts and politicians. In France and Belgium, it can mean “You’re worth nothing.”
There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans usually feel comfortable when speaking with someone if the distance between them is about eighteen inches to arm’s length. Anything closer makes them feel uncomfortable.
When talking to Americans, it is also important to make eye contact. If you look down when talking to an American, he / she may feel that you are embarrassed, afraid, or trying to hide something.
In addition to knowing how to communicate nonverbally in a country, it is important to know what you and he cannot discuss. In the United States, there are certain topics to avoid when you first meet someone, For example, don’t ask people their age, weight, religion, marital status(婚姻狀況), how much money they earn, or how much something costs. You can talk about work, the weather, traffic problems, sports, food, news of the day, where one lives, consumer subjects (computers, car repairs, and so forth), and travel or vacation plans.
These few examples illustrate that your actions can speak louder than your words. In a particular cultural contest, what you say and what you don’t say are equally important.
Which of the following is true?
A. People all over the world only communicate verbally.
B. Most of our gestures have no meaning at all.
C. Some people think that 65 to 70 percent of our communication is nonverbal.
D. Gestures are the most common way to common way to communicate.
As we can see from the passage there are ______ kinds of nonverbal communication signals.
A. four B. five C. six D. seven
Please paraphrase the clause“…your actions can speak louder than your words.
A. Your deeds are better than your words
B. What you do is better than what you say
C. You try to show your best manners
D. you are better understood by your gestures than through your words
The main idea of the passage is that when you are in another country, ______.
A. it is unimportant to know the language
B. it is important to know what you can talk about to a foreigner
C. to know how to communicate nonverbally is as important as to know the language
D. to communicate the rough gestures is more important than to know the language

No one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams.

If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (優(yōu)勢(shì)), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.

Three—quarters of a million tourists flock to the white beaches every year,but this booming industry has come at a price.Poisonous smoke rising from open fires,rubbish made up of plastic bottles,packets…it’S a far cry from the white sands,clear waters and palm trees that we associate with the Maldives(馬爾代夫),the paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean.

When the TV viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but that’s not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U.S. figures are high----34.8% , and the unloving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news , documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan though , more than 60%of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of anther----just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U.K., the figure is 56.4% . the Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They don’t go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. That’s understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what’s going on---and events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U.S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.
【小題1】Based on this passage, the greatest percentage of TV broadcasting hours to educational is in __.
A.Japan | B.Italy | C.Canada | D.the United States |
A.a(chǎn)re interested in what is happening in the world. |
B.Like to follow the changes that are going on in their social life |
C.Prefer to learn news information on TV rather than in newspapers |
D.Expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is going on in their country |
A.The Japanese figure is the highest in the world. |
B.The U.S. figure is smaller than the U. K. figure |
C.The U.K. figure is second to the Japanese figure |
D.The Canadian figure is higher than that of any other country. |
A.TV programs are shown for world audience to watch |
