A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out.Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, newspaper, TV and radios and films all help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.( )56.

When we have a conversation with someone, we may be using more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. Thats why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head. In our Chinese culture, nodding(点头) our head up and down means yes and shaking our head from side to side means no. However, in parts of India, Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb（大拇指）and the second finger, it means Youre all right or Everything is OK. However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means Youre worth zero. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture（手势）. Or we are thought to be very rude.The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the V sign meant peace. However, during World War II, it meant victory. In Greece, it is a very insulting（污辱性）sign.Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.( ) 61. In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is _.A. clever B. stupid C. headache D. angry( ) 62. In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he _.A. doesnt agree B. agree C. is happyD. is sad( ) 63. In France, if you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means _.A. you are clever B. everything is OKC. it is true D. you are worth nothing( ) 64. In which country, you cant raise you hand and make a circle with the thumb?A. France B. England C. Greece D. The USA( ) 65.
