We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know the language of the body.All over the world, people “talk” with their hands, with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British people do? Americans are more informal(不拘小节) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name. When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, “Hello.” Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other. 36 In the passage, the writer thinks that body language is _.A useless B difficult C quite easy D important37 Which of the following is right?A Different countries have the same body languageB Different countries have different body languagesC People in Asia share the same body languageD Many people only use their body language38 If an American friend visits you, he probably_.A sits straight B never sits downC makes fun of you D sits freely and comfortably39 If you want to make a British friend, you may feel it_.A impossible B too easy C too difficult D slow 40 Generally speaking, _ kiss each other more often.A men B women C British D AmericansBEveryone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are Gods way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it? The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesnt want to talk, you could write a letter.There are three steps to being friends again:Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.41. Sally wants to tell students the ways to _.A. find friends B. plant trees C. get happy D. keep fit42. What makes good friends?
