Peters favourite stamps came from France. He had every French edition from 1960 to 2004 except a 1974 special edition stamp. It was very hard to find. He looked for it everywhere even in stores, at street markets and on the Internet. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. But nobody could find the stamp. It made Peter very sad. “Dont worry. Please have patience,” his father said to him. “Youll find it one day.” “I hope so,” Peter said. Peter also liked making friends. He had a pen friend named Victor who was in France. They wrote to each other every month. Victor knew Peter liked collecting stamps. One day Victors mother Laura gave him an old French stamp. It was a big, green one. He used it to post a letter to Peter. As soon as Peter received the letter, he looked carefully at the stamp. He was very amazed to see that it was the 1974 special edition stamp. Peter was so happy! He told the good news to his sister and his parents. “You see,” his father said. “You did find your stamp in the end. So you know, its good to have two things in life.” “What are they?” Peter asked. “Friends and patience!” his father answered. ( )61. Peters favourite stamps came from _. A. China B. England C.

A. money and time B. books and stamps C. friends and patience D. sisters and parents B Body language may have different meanings in different countries. Here are three examples. Handshakes are popular in the US and suitable for use between men and women. However, in Muslim cultures, men may not shake hands or touch women in any way. In Hindu cultures, Hindu men may never shake hands with women. Instead, they greet women by placing their hands as if praying. The thumbs up gesture could show “OK” or “good” in countries like the US, France and Germany. But this same gesture is insulting in other countries like Iran, Bangladesh and Thailand, where it has the same meaning as showing the middle finger in the US. “Making a circle with ones thumb and index finger while extending the others” has the meaning of “OK” in America. In China, we always take it as number three. Of course, we use it as “OK” as well at present. However, in Japan and Korean it means “money”. Learning a cultures body language is sometimes confusing. If you dont know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile. ( )66. The examples used in this passage dont include _.
