One day, one of his colleagues(同事) said to him, “Would you like to be thinner. Fred?”

“It’s very hard to learn to ride a bicycle at your age,” said his wife(妻子).

However, it was not too hard for Mr. Holland to do. He usually sat in his living room and read the newspaper in the evening, but after he bought a bicycle for his birthday, he practised riding that every evening instead. He hoped that it would help him get thinner. Mr. Holland began to go to his office by bicycle sometimes when all the cars stopped at a red light, he would go past them to the front, because his bicycle was narrow. Then he was very happy.

24、Do you use hand gestures(姿势) when you talk? Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? These are all examples of body language. How important can it be? Follow Teens and have a look.

Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings. According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, if your friend asks you to join him in a picnic, you will give him an “OK” gesture to say “Yes, sounds great!” Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously(无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.

In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the US, making eye contact(眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person’s eyes during a conversation.

Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take “hello” for example. French people kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting. What are you trying to say? Body language is important to teenagers. Understanding this language helps you to communicate better with others.

【1】What does body language use to show meanings?

A．Words.

B．Sentences.

C．Letters.

D．Movement or position.

【2】What does an American mean if he makes eye contact with someone?

A．He is bored with the person.

B．He is interested in the person.

C．He is angry with the person.

D．He doesn't want to say anything.

【3】How many ways of saying “hello” are mentioned in this passage?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【4】Whom might this passage be written for?

A．Old people.

B．The disabled.

C．Adults.

25、Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier, but how well do we know and u【1】 each other? Here is a simple test. Imagine (设想) you will hold a m【2】 at four o’clock, w【3】 should you expect your foreign business friends to come? If they are Germans, they will a【4】 on time. If they are Americans, they will probably be fifteen minutes early. If they are British, they’ll be fifteen minutes late.

The British seemed to have thought since the English l【5】 was widely used in the world, what they did was certain to be widely understood. Very soon they f【6】 they were completely (完全地) wrong. For e【7】, the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters with a drink during the meal, but the Japanese prefer not to talk about work while e【8】. Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know e【9】other, and they don’t drink at lunch. The Germans like to talk about business b【10】 dinner, and the French like to eat first and talk afterwards. They have to be well fed before they discuss anything.
