“When studying foreign speech, don’t forget about body language,” Anne Merritt said. Something as simple as a smile can show friendliness in one culture, embarrassment in another, impatience in a third. Even silence means different things in different places. If you want to avoid making some mistakes when traveling abroad, you should pay attention to the following.

Touch

Britain, along with much of Northern Europe and the Far East, has a “non-contact” culture. In those countries, there is very little physical contact(接触) in people’s daily talks. Even brushing someone’s arm by accident is the reason for an apology. However, in the high-contact cultures of the Middle East, Latin America, and southern Europe, physical touch is a big part of daily life.

What’s more, there are different standards for who touches whom and where. In much of the Arab world, men hold hands and kiss each other in greeting, but would never do the same with a woman. In Thailand and Laos, it is taboo(禁忌) to touch anyone’s head, even children’s. In South Korea, elders can touch younger people with force when trying to get through a crowd, but younger people can’t do the same.

Eye contact

In most Western countries, frequent eye contact is a sign of confidence and attentiveness(注意). We may think that a conversation partner who looks away is either not listening to us or lying. Of course, this is not the standard around the world.

In many Asian, African, and Latin American countries, the unbroken(未间断的) eye contact would be considered impolite and rude. These cultures consider avoiding eye contact a sign of respect for bosses and elders. In these parts of the world, children won’t look at an adult

who is speaking to them, and nor will employees look at their bosses. 21. In Britain, when people are talking, they usually .

A. avoid eye contact B. brush the others’ arms

D. An introduction to some body language.

Bobby White works as a police officer in Gainesville, Florida. One day, he was told to investigate a noise plaint. A group of boys were playing basketball in the street. Instead of blaming the boys or sending them home, White joined them.

White started shooting baskets with the kids. And a few minutes later, some more boys came and played the game. The camera on White’s police car recorded the event. The police department posted the video online. It was seen over 15 million times.

Before he left the boys, White said he would e back again with “backup”. That is what police officers say when they are appealing for help from other officers.

As the video spread, a basketball star became interested in what happened in Gainesville. That player was Shaquille O’Neal. He was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers when they won the National Basketball Association championship. He also played for the Orlando Magic, a team not far from Gainesville.

The other day, O’Neal visited the Gainesville police and spoke with White. And then they went out to “the scene”. That is what police officers call the area where a crime happened. But of course, there was no crime.

This time, White told the boys, “I told you I was going to bring some backup. Right? You guys ready?” And O'Neal turned up from a nearby car. The kids got really excited. O'Neal played basketball with the boys and other officers as a crowd gathered.

Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young, she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also travelled a great deal with her mother and father.

As a child, she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.

At last, her mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided. “Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.

“Then I will make it so,” she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for women.

During the Crimean War in 1854, she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospital. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.

Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines and food for the men. Her only pay was the smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.

After war, she returned to England and was honoured for her service by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.

Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honour nurses today. 29. When she was a child, Florence .

Feeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.

Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth.

Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease. According to the study by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management position as well as students around exam time.

Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, sleeplessness, anxiety, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.

The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternately work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.

As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements-vitamins and trace elements(微量元素) 一that are important to the body.

Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may
