We are always using body language in our daily life. 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. That’s 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（歐洲） it means ‘He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head’. In our Chinese culture, nodding 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（相反）. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means ‘You’re all right or Everything is OK’. However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means ‘You’re worth zero’. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture（手勢(shì)）. 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.

1.In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is _________.

A. clever B. stupid C. headache D. angry

2.In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he ______.

A. doesn't agree B. agree C. is happy D. is sad

3.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 OK

C. it is true D. you are worth nothing

4.Which country's body language is most different from our usual thinking?

A. France B. England C. Greece D. India

5.V sign meant _______________ about fifty years ago.

A. victory B. killing C. festival D. peace

閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填寫(xiě)表格

There are many things you can do to improve your memory(記憶力). Among them are many kinds of useful ways are well as taking special care of your health.

It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits（習(xí)慣）. Learning a new skill helps your brain（大腦）to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it .Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories. An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.

Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information .And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.

In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well-not just for improving your memory.
