[01:09.15]1.Reading comprehension
[01:13.51]Read the passage and answer this queston:
[01:17.87]Do the chinese and British have similar body language?
[01:22.91]BODY LANGUAGE(1)
[01:27.46]Although we may not realize it,
[01:31.30]when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not just by words.
[01:37.75]We send messages to the people around us also by our expressions
[01:43.99]and body movements.
[01:47.05]A smile and handshake show welcome.
[01:51.31]Waving one's hand is to say "Goodbye".
[01:55.85]Nodding the head means agreement,while shaking it means disagreement.
[02:01.89]These gestures are accepted both by Chinese
[02:06.43]and English speakers as having the same meanings.
[02:11.47]But not all body language means the same thing in different countries.
[02:17.53]Take nodding the head for example.
[02:21.19]In some Asian countries it means not "Yes" but "No".
[02:26.76]In many countries in the world,men kiss each other when they meet,
[02:32.40]for example in Russia,France,Arab countries
[02:38.04]and some of the South American countries.
[02:42.01]Men do not kiss each other in either China or English-speaking countries.
[02:48.46]In Britain,
[02:51.21]older people usually shake hands when they meet someone for the first time;
[02:57.16]however,young people often to not shake hands.
[03:02.41]In France,
[03:05.16]it is the custom to shake hands with people in the office every morning.
[03:11.03]French people kiss each other hello and goodbye more often than British people.
[03:17.80]Generally,
[03:20.36]people from English-speaking countries do not touch each other very much.
[03:26.24]It you touch an English person,you should say "Sorry".
[03:31.38]Scientists have done some research on "Touch"in different countries.
[03:37.55]They watched pairs of people who were sitting in college coffee-shops
[03:43.11]for at least an hour.
[03:46.04]They counted the number of times that the people touched each other:
[03:51.37]England - 0;USA - 2;France - 10;Puerto Rico - 180.
[04:02.02]In some Asian couneries,you must not touch the head of another person.
[04:07.98]In Arab countries,you eat using the fingers of your right hand;
[04:13.54]the left hand is not used at all.
[04:17.49]In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet pointing at another person.
[04:23.65]Foreigners should follow these customs when they are visiting these countries.

[04:41.23]BODY LANGUAGE(2)
[04:44.89]It is good manners for an arab to stand close to his friend when they are talking.
[04:51.24]But English people do not like to be too close to ine another
[04:56.20]unless there is a reason.
[04:59.44]It could be very interesting to watch an Arab and an Englishman1 talking together.
[05:06.00]The Arab who is friendly will stand close to his friend,
[05:11.14]but the Englishman will move back in order to keep a certain distance away.
[05:17.20]When they finish their talk,
[05:20.37]the two may be quite a distance from the place where they were standing2.
[05:25.62]People from the United States or Arab countries
[05:30.37]stand closer than people from Britain when they are talking together.
[05:35.65]City people in Britain and the United States
[05:40.30]stand closer than those who live in the country.
[05:44.66]When one uses a foreign language,
[05:48.50]it is important to know the meanings of gestures
[05:52.65]and movements in the foreign country
[05:56.49]Using body language in a correct way will help communicate with people
[06:02.06]and make the stay in a foreign country easy and comfortable
