Question

【题目】 If someone says to you “give me five”, don't give five yuan to him! It will make others laugh! The person is not asking for your money, but your fingers.

In the USA, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is a good gesture(手势). It means the slapping(拍) of each other’s right hands together. People do it when something happy happens. For example, if a student gets an “A” in the exam or gets No.1 in the school sports meeting, he will give the high five to his friends to celebrate.

Who did this gesture first? Why did he or she do that? There are many different stories about how the high-five began.

At that very moment, they just wanted to hit each other to show their excitement. Whatever the origin(起源) of the high-five is, it is an important part of American culture.
