In West Africa, as well as Greece, Italy and Middle East, the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱). Rather more charming is a thumbs-up in Germany and in parts of Japan they just see it as the hand signal for the number one. The A-OK This sign is mainly used by divers(潜水员)to mean OK(to prevent being confused with the thumbs-up sign, which means rise). Basically the meaning comes out as great, or completely fine. However, in a few countries in Europe, people may think youre telling them that you think theyre a zero.The V Sign The sign comes in two formats: one with the palm faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing victory. However, if the outside of your hand is facing your target, youre giving somebody a long-established insult in Great Britain and many English-speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Winston Churchill famously used the incorrect version of the V sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later. The V sign is also considered rude in Italy.The Corna The corna hand gesture has most recently been adopted by fans of rock and heavy metal music. Nowadays many Americans use the gesture simply to mean rock on, or in support of the University of Texas in Austin (known as the Hookem Horns). Today it is still popular in Spain, Brazil and Slovakia (斯洛伐克) . Historically, however, the symbol possibly dates back to Ancient Greece. 56. Which of the following signs doesnt have an insulting meaning?A. The Thumbs-Up. B. The A-OK. C. The V Sign. D. The Corna.57. The pilots in World War II used to make the Thumbs-Up sign to show _.A. the plane was very good B. the plane was ready to take offC. they were going to land on the groundD. they were thankful to the ground crews58. What information can we get from the passage?A. The V Sign was first used by Winston Churchill.B. Italians often use the Thumbs-Up to praise others.C. You are most likely to see the Corna in a heavy metal music concert. D. The A-OK and the Thumbs-Up have the same meaning to divers.59. If you travel abroad, you d better not use the V Sign in _.A. Greece or Italy B. Germany or JapanC. Ireland or Italy D. Spain or Brazil B The 1960 Presidential Debates between Vice President Nixon and Kennedy were the first nationally televised de-bates in presidential campaign history. 70 million voters were given the opportunity to not only hear the candidates (候选人), but to compare them as well. Surprisingly, there was a big difference between the TV viewers and the radio listeners. While the radio listeners clearly thought that Nixon had won the first debate, the television viewers were impressed by Kennedys smile, charm and athletic appearance. Now lets think about some other situations: what if a baseball manager knew the opposing teams signals and were able to anticipate (预期)their game plan? Likewise, as a professional salesperson, you would be wise to notice your customersbody language and adjust your presentation accordingly. Top salespeople recognize the importance of non-verbal communication. They understand that one of the easiest and most effective ways to close sales is to be aware of their customersbuy signals. In addition to monitoring your customersbody language, its important to be mindful of your own gestures and keep them positive. Remember to unfold your arms, uncross your legs, nod your head in agreement and smile frequently. Matching and mirroring your body language gestures is a way of telling another that you like them and agree with them. The psychological principle behind matching and mirroring is that people want to do business with salespeople that they believe are similar to them. In 1872, Charles Darwin published the book The Expressions in Man and Animals and launched the modern study of non-verbal communication. Actually, it is a mixture of movement, posture and tone of voice.60. The example of the 1960 Presidential Debates is used to show _.A. the presidential debates were always fierceB. the debates always attracted a wide audienceC. the voters paid more attention to the candidatesdebating skillsD. the votersopinions were affected by the candidatesnon-verbal communication61. Salespeople can close sales effectively because they can _.A. perform body language wellB. notice their customersbody languageC. adjust their body language to their customersD. understand what their customersare saying62. Charles Darwin wrote the book The Expressions in Man and Animals to _.A. report his research on body languageB. conclude man can learn a lot from animalsC. teach people how to communicate with animalsD. show the big difference between man and animals C In the US and Canada winter swimmers are called Polar Bears, but in Finland theyre just called Finns. Why and how do people swim in near-freezing water during the winter? An ice hole in a lake, sub-zero (零度以下的) temperatures, a bathing suit, a wool cap, gloves, and shoes are for some people the perfect conditions for a quick dip in the water. Winter swimming is an activity that I never thought of before moving to Finland, but those who take part in the cold-water sport absolutely love it. My Finnish friend Katariina is the winter swimming leader of a group of international friends. She has been winter swimming for three years, and says, every time I get out of the water, I have a new level of energy. Katariina has persuaded many people, both Finns and foreigners, to try this sport, and has a group of winter swimming lovers who swim with her twice per week. The best conditions for winter swimming are -15 to -20 degrees with no wind. Katariina says that the hardest part, especially for beginners, is to psych (做好思想准备) yourself up for the water; but once you do, it feels great. Swimmers only stay in the water for 30-60 seconds before getting out, getting dressed, and heading to the comfort of their warm cars. Winter swimmers do not put their heads in the water in case of hypothermia (体温过低). Katariina says that foreigners who go winter swimming feel proud of themselves, and happy that they have tried it at least once.63. What are Finns and Polar Bears, according to this passage? A. They are people who love winter swimming. B. The names of animals living in Finland and at the South Pole. C. They are beginners at winter swimming. D. The people of Finland.64.

Getting into the water again.D. Staying longer in the water.
