問題詳情

五、閱讀測驗：每題2分，共10分As traveling by plane makes the world become smaller, more people have the chance to experience different cultures. Therefore, it is important to learn and respect the powerful “silent language” of gestures. In fact, more communication takes place without words than with words.Besides talking, people use their hands and bodies to communicate with others. However, even people in the same culture use gestures differently because no two people do things like clapping their hands or waving in the same way. In addition, gestures have different meanings across cultures. For example, Americans tend to point at someone or something with one finger while Asians think pointing with the whole hand is a polite way. Taking a big breath with a wide open mouth or laughing openly is considered insulting in Japanese and other Asian cultures. In Mexico, if men put their hands on their hips, it is considered mean. In American culture, however, neither of these gestures would be considered impolite or mean. In many cultures, looking at someone directly in the eye is acceptable, but in Asian, Puerto Rican, West Indian, African American, and Native American cultures, it can be considered rude or disrespectful (不尊敬的). While handshaking has become acceptable around the world, the Japanese still prefer to bow, and people in Asian and Middle Eastern cultures prefer a gentle hold of hands.Although there are many differences in gestures across cultures, a “worldwide gesture” is understood and accepted everywhere—the smile. Nearly everyone understands this gesture, and it can help people all over the world be happy and friendly.
