Ⅰ.阅读理解
As you know, different countries have different customs.Also there are many
gestures showing many meanings in many countries.Here are a few examples of gestures.
A fisherman in Britain will show the size of a fish he has caught by holding
his two hands, palms (手掌) facing each other, the right distance apart in front
of him.But the one from certain parts of Africa will measure off the size along his
2
left arm with his right hand.In Britain the gesture to show the number “one” is
made holding up the index finger (the second finger), but in Switzerland it is the
thumb—the first finger which is held up.Some people point at objects with fingers,
others by sticking out the lips.The gesture for “come here” is made in Britain
with the index finger, which is held, pointing upwards, at eye level and bent towards
the body; in Egypt the hand is held at arm's length, palm downwards, and the fingers
are then bent.
The difference between the movements is very important, and the meanings of the
same gestures may be opposite in different countries.It may bring trouble to those
who do not know it well.
