【题目】 When you speak to foreigners, what will you do if you can’t understand their languages? Will you use your body language to help you, or just say sorry to them and then go away? Learning spoken language is very important, but learning local gestures (手势) is also very necessary.

I often use gestures to communicate with someone whose language I don’t know. We use our hands to talk with each other. Although we don’t understand the other’s words, our hand movements make our conversation more necessary.

However, gestures aren’t always clear. Different gestures may have different meanings in different countries and cultures.

In many countries, people move their hands at someone to call him to come near. In the United States, people usually move hands at someone with their palms (手掌) up and sometimes move just one finger. But in many countries in Asia, hand movements like that would be impolite. In Asia, many people move hands at someone with their palms down using all fingers.

Do you use your thumb, your thick short finger to make gestures? In western countries, “thumbs-up” means agreement. But it is very rude in parts of Africa.

If you want to say “OK” in America, you can make a circle () with the thumb and the second finger. But in France, it means “zero”, and it is very rude in many other countries.

You can use your second finger to point at something but not at somebody in the United States. However, in some parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, pointing at something with one’s second finger is not polite.

“V” form is often used when people take photos. But using two fingers to make up the “V” shape means “peace” in the West.

The last example is that people in parts of Asia point to their noses to mean themselves, but people in western countries usually point to their chests.

Gestures are important, but also have different meanings.

【题目】 When you think of American culture, what first comes to your mind? McDonald’s? Coca Cola? Levi’s? Disneyland? Michael Jordan? Julia Roberts? Many people imagine American culture is a collection of popular symbols like these. Actually, these symbols are only one small part of American culture — pop culture.

What is pop culture? Well, pop is short for popular. The origins of pop culture can often be traced(追溯) to popular movies, television shows, music stars and sports figures. Pop culture is also promoted by business and advertising. The most common examples of American pop culture appear among high school and college students. Trends(潮流) set by famous people quickly become part of young people’s lifestyles.

American pop culture has spread around the world. One major reason for its popularity is that English is a world language. English is the language of diplomacy, international business and transportation. Since language and culture go together, learning English means becoming aware of English-speaking countries’ cultures. Also, America is a world leader in movies, music and magazines. The kind of American culture communicated in those media is pop culture. Finally, pop culture is easy to package and to export. For that reason, it is easy to “sell” to the world.

Many people suppose that American pop culture is what America is all about. Does pop culture reflect(反映) the true culture of America? Yes and no. Pop culture does represent(代表) a part of American society — especially urban young people that are turned into the media. But American pop culture is faddish and ever-changing. It is man-made and surface picture of America. If you want to learn about real American culture, you’ll have to go a little further than McDonald’s.

1Paragraph 3 is mainly about .

A.why language and culture go togetherB.how American pop culture leads in media

C.why American pop culture is popularD.how American pop culture is exported

2The underlined word “export” probably means .

A.to buy from a foreign countryB.to sell to a foreign country

A.Pop culture isn’t a part of American culture.

B.Young people always set the trends of pop culture.

C.It is popular in the world mainly because of the popularity of English.

D.If you want to know real American culture, you can go to McDonald’s.

4What can we infer from the passage?

A.American pop culture is a part of American culture.

B.McDonald’s, Coca Cola, Levi’s etc. are all symbols of American pop culture.

C.American pop culture is easy to sell to the world only because it’s popular.
