which is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.when a person from the united states might blush（脸红）with embarrassment or become offensive, a chinese might blush with smile. to avoid serious misunderstanding, people who engage in intercultural communication should be able to understand the meaning of smiling appropriately. related to the smile is the laugh. also,

americans enjoy moving from place to place. for example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometers away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to europe just for watching a football match. in some states only one person in five lives in a place for more than five years. one may be born in one city, and go to school in another. he may finish his middle school in two or three cities, and then attend a college far across the country. when he has entered business, he may possibly move from job to job. moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping”, is a very common practice in the united states. job-hopping is good to workers, because every change of a job gives them a chance to move up to a higher position and to get better pay. and job-hopping also gives bosses the chance to get new ideas and skills that different people bring to their companies and factories.28. according to this passage, americans often travel_.a. in order to have dinner with

needs a strong body in order to make it useful.there are lots of good exercises. they are helpful and healthy. many of them may be taken indoors during rainy weather. indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those taken outdoors in fresh air. it is because in fresh air more oxygen(氧气)is taken into our body and more wastes are given off. the air in the house does not remain fresh very long. but out of door is usually fresh.but what shall we play ? there are a number of games such as football,basketball and races. any game with plenty of movement is good. the best are those which are played out of doors.dont neglect(忽视)your body. it is of as much importance as your mind. our country now needs men with strong minds, good judgement(判断力)and healthy bodies.32.what does the writer
