Many times we tend to use our hands to explain our needs and thoughts.The same hand gesture may mean something quite nasty and offensive to a person from a different cultural background.Hand gestures are a very important part of the body language gestures.

Hand gestures are a way of communicating with others and conveying your feelings.These gestures are most helpful when one is speaking to someone with no language in common.The meanings of hand gestures in different cultures may translate into different things.To explain my point，I take a very common example of former President George W．Bush who had to face a major faux pas(失礼) during a visit to Australia.He tried to signal a peace sign by waving the two－finger or V－sign at the crowd.

You may think of this as a simple gesture，but he committed a major error.Instead of his palm facing outwards，it faced inwards.This hand gesture in Australia meant he was asking the crowd to go screw themselves！Therefore，it is very important to understand the meanings of gestures before you travel to different countries.

Before you communicate with people in different cultures，you need to understand the meanings of gestures.Those considered as a good gesture in one country may be termed as an offensive gesture in some countries.So，if you are a frequent flier to different countries，improve your communication skills by learning the meanings of hand gestures.

1．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Hand gestures mean differently in different cultures. B．What different hand gestures mean around the world.

C．How people from different cultures understand hand gestures.

D．Why people from different countries use hand gestures to communicate. 2．Which of the following is the sign the former President signaled?

3．The author mentions former President Bush in order to tell us ________． A．Australians don't like him

B．people usually misunderstand other countries'gestures

C．even great men make mistakes in communicating with gestures

D．not to make hand gestures to foreigners

4．According to the passage，by learning the meanings of hand gestures，we can ________． A．avoid misunderstandings thoroughly in foreign cultures B．learn foreign languages well

C．communicate better with people from other countries D．travel to different countries frequently Ⅲ.阅读填句 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Forming good friendships can help girls build self－esteem(自尊).1.________

Only having one best friend isn't healthy; that is dependency.When something happens to that friend or that friendship，it can be a disaster and leave a life－long hurt.2.________ Sometimes，best friends are not always “forever”．That's why girls should be encouraged to not only have a “best friend”，but several “best friends” —so that they don't lose themselves when the friendship ends.3.________ Secondly，girls need to know that even best friends can change，and that the friendship will also change because of that fact.

Don't be a jealous (妒忌的) friend.Jealousy has no place in friendship.4.________ It is not only rooted in poor self－esteem，but also rooted in fears.It's one of the most powerful emotions when it comes to friendships with other girls.Although overcoming (克服) jealousy is difficult，we should try our best to help our girls learn how to fight this emotion.We should let them know that there will always be someone who has more than they do.5.________

A．It can ruin a friendship.

B．So girls should have more than one best friend.

C．It is very important to their happiness and success in life. D We need to know this is normal.
