問題詳情

Ⅲ、文意選填：10％（＠１分）Everyone knows that communication requires 36 just words. We express ourselves with physical actions called gestures as well. In fact, we use gestures so often that we may take them for 37 . However, if you ever find yourself in a foreign country, the gestures you use and when you use them might become very important. For example, in many parts of the world, a common gesture is to move your head up and down. This is called nodding, and it means that you agree 38 someone. The 39 is to shake your head from left to right, meaning that you disagree. Yet in Bulgaria, nodding and shaking the head are reversed. Up and down means no, and side to side means yes. Thus, if you were traveling there, you’d have to be very 40 about how you showed agreement and disagreement.An even bigger risk for travelers is that their gestures will 41 be confusing but offensive. Some gestures that we often use in our home countries are actually considered inappropriate 42 . For example, in many countries, lifting up two fingers in a V shape is a sign meaning peace or victory. This is also true in the UK 43 the palm of the hand is facing forward. If you turn your hand around, 44 , showing the back of the two fingers, you will be making a gesture that is rude and insulting to most British people. Therefore, even though you wouldn’t think 45 about making a gesture at home, make sure you consider how you’re expressing your feelings when you’re in other countries. Gestures are an important part of communication, but they can also play a big part in miscommunication.
