Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 24 to 28.
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent
language" of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we
want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be
misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal
introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or
unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually
women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand
about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly.
Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their
space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."
Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it
means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it
is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs down means
the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check,
make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at
things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at
children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do,
the safest thing to do is to smile.
Question 24. If you are introduced to a stranger from the USA, you should_______.
A. greet him with a hug B. shake his hand firmly
C. place a hand on his shoulder D. shake his hand weakly
Question 25. American people often_______.
A. show their friendship by touching each other
