17、on American gestures have very different meanings in _36_areas of the world. Take the handshake for example. In America, a strong,_37_handshake shows a confident person, someone you can trust, a good leader, but people might be _38_in Asia and the Middle East where they prefer a much looser handshak

18、e. Other American gestures are considered very _39_ in other countries, such as direct eye contact.

19、s for you to be confused by gestures and body _42_ when you travel._43_your head up and down for “yes” and shaking your head from side to side for “no” means the _44_in parts of eastern Europe. The same applies to waving your hand left to right for “hello” or “goodbye”. This can mean “_45_” in Asia

20、and parts of Europe! If you go to Argentina, you might be offended and think someone is calling you crazy when you see them _46_ at their head or ear and move their first finger in a circle. Although this means someone or something is crazy in America, in Argentina, it just means that you have a pho

21、ne call.If you _48_to get someone to come over to where you are, you might hold out your hand, with the palm up and fingers facing in, and curl your first finger in and_49_. But dont do that in Asia, because it isnt very _50_.The last gestures I want to talk about are _51_ we call thumbs up and the

22、OK sign. If you _52_ your hand and hold up your thumb, this gesture is used in many countries, but it means the number one in Germany and Japan _53_ of good job like it does in America. If you _54_ a circle with your thumb and first finger, and point the other three fingers up, you are saying yes or

23、 that _55_ is okay if you are in America. But in France in means zero, in Japan it means money, and if you are in Brazil or Germany, it is very rude.36. A. theB. someC. elseD. other37.

47、 long and high, feeling all enthusiasm leaving him. He dipped his brush into the whitewash before moving it along the top board of the fence. He knew other boys would arrive soon with all minds of interesting plans for this day. As walking past him, they would tease him for having to work on a beaut

48、iful Saturdaywhich burnt him like fire. He, putting his hands into his pockets and taking out all he owned with the expectation of letting someone paint, found nothing that could buy half an hour of freedom. At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea occurred to him, pouring a great bright l

49、ight into his mind. He took up his brush and continued to work pleasantly with calm and quietness.Presently, Ben Rogers came in sightmunching an apple and making joyful noises like the sound of a riverboat as he walked along. Tom went on whitewashing, paying no attention to the steamboat. “Hello!” B

50、en said, “Im going swimming, but you cant go, can you?”No answer. Tom moved his brush gently along the fence and surveyed the result. Ben came nearer. Toms mouth watered for Bens apple while he kept painting the fence.Ben said, “Thats a lot of work, isnt it?”Tom turned suddenly saying “Here you are!

51、 Ben! I didnt notice you.” “Im going swimming,” Ben said. “Dont you wish you could go? Or would you rather work?” Tom said, “Work? What do you mean work?”“Isnt that work?” Tom continued painting and answered carelessly, “Maybe it is, and maybe it isnt. All I know is it suits Tom Sawyer.”“Do you mean

Ben watched every move, getting more and mor

53、e interested, more and more absorbed1. After a short time, he said, “Tom, let me whitewash a little.”Tom seemed to be thinking for a moment before he said, “No, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. If it was the back fence, maybe you could do it. But this fence beside the street is where every

54、body can see it. It has to be done right.”“Oh, come on, let me try. Ill be careful. Listen, Tom. Ill give you part of my apple if you let me paint.” “No, Ben, Im afraid” “Ill give you all the apple!”Tom handed the brush to Ben with unwillingness on his face but alacrity in his heart. While the riverboat worked and sweated in the hot sun, Tom, an artist sat in the shade close by, munching his apple, and planning how he could trick more of the boys. Before long there were enough boys each of whom came along the street; stopped to laugh but soon begged to be allowed to paint. By the middle
