Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for
each of the questions from 46 to 50.
BODY LANGUAGE
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent
language" of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want
to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the
United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be
firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the
other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two
and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get
uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans
touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me." Americans like to look the
other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding
something, or are not interested. But when you are staring at someone, it is not polite. For Americans,
thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter,
raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands
as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand
and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on

the head when they admire them. Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't
know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.

Question 46: From the passage we can learn that_________.
A. It's confusing to understand a culture's body language
B. gestures don't mean anything while talking
C. gestures can help us to express ourselves

Question 48: American people often_____________.
A. show their friendship by touching each other
B. get uncomfortable when you stand or sit too close to them
C. face each other directly when they are talking
D. say "Pardon me." to each other when they are talking
Question 49: When your friend gives you a thumbs-up, he, in fact,_______.
A. shows his anger to you B. expresses his satisfaction to you
C. shows his rudeness to you D. expresses his worries about you
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT true about the culture of the United States?
A. It's rude to look at the other person for a long time.
B. Pointing at someone is usually considered rude.
C. It's all right to raise your hand slightly when you want to attract the waiter's attention.
D. It's impolite to look the other person in the eyes while talking.
