Nonverbal （非语言的）Communication When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally. Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查),only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world. In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you.”111]111] In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting (侮辱)and should not be used there. In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”. It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship. There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don’t like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. For example friends touch each other on the arm. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”. 5.It is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in another country because . A. most people speak different languages B. much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasions C. people usually make gestures before saying anything D. it’s easy to learn how to express oneself through gestures 6.If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, his motion means . A. yes B. no C. that’s all right D. I’ve heard you 7.When the Russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the White House . A. he meant Russia was the winner B. he was insulting America C. he made a show of friendship to America D. he in fact meant nothing at all 8.The gesture of putting one’s thumb up should not be used when you are travelling in . A. China B. the United States C. Greece D. Southeast Asia

The Wizarding World(魔法世界) of Harry Potter theme park will open in Florida in 2009,and will provide attractions and rides based on places from the Harry Potter books.

Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? 16 The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. 17 Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money. First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. 18 In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. 19 Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. 20 Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice（牺牲）. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing（投资） for children. A. They can save it for future use. B. Timing （时间）is another consideration（考虑）. C. As helping at home is a normal part of family life. D. Some children are not good at managing their pocket money. E. Learning how to get money is very important for every child. F. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money. G. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget（预算）.
