B．阅读短文，并根据短文内容选择正确答案。
The Language of Gestures（手势）
People are talkative（爱说话的） animals. We do a lot of talking——asking, answering, telling, saying. But we do much of our talking without words. We often use a kind of “body language” to show what we think or feel.
This body language is the language of gestures. We make hundreds of gestures in a day. People all over the world use gestures. In very country, there are gestures that say “Hello” and “Goodbye.” However（然而）, this does not mean that everyone in the world uses exactly（确切的） the same body language. We may have some of the same gestures, but different countries have different customs（习俗）——and different gestures.
Sometimes the same gestures can mean different things in different countries. For example, Saudi Arabians（沙特阿拉伯人） and some other speakers of Arabic（阿拉伯的） say “Come here” with a gesture that most Europeans（欧洲人） use to say “Goodbye.” They hold up a hand, palm（手掌） away from the face, and move the fingers up and down.
Sometimes the same gestures does mean the same thing in different countries. However, when people use the gesture may be different. Speakers of English say “this tall” by holding a hand out, palm down. This gesture is okay in Latin America（拉丁美洲）——if you are talking about an animal. If Latin Americans are talking about a person, they hold their hand out too——but with its edge（边，棱） to the ground. To a Latin American, an Englishman who says “My daughter is this tall”——and makes a gesture to show the height（高度） of a cow——is very funny.
Learning words in a new language is not
enough. If you want to talk to people who speak different language, you might
have to learn some new gestures too.
( )6. Which of the following is wrong? _____.
A. Opening your eyes very wide is a kind of body language.
B. People don’t use gestures very much.
C. People do much of their talking without gestures.
D. Claping（拍） hands is a kind of body language.
( )7. There are different gestures in different countries because _____.
A. people don’t like to use the same gesture
B. everyone has his own way to express（表达） his idea
C. every country has its own customs
E. different gestures can express more ideas
( )8. Speakers of English and Latin Americans _____.
A. have the same gesture to show a person’s height
B. have the same gesture to show an animal’s height
C. have the same gesture to show different things
D. have the same gesture to show the same thing
( )9. Which in the following is true? _____.
A. Body language can be a problem for travellers.
B. People can talk only with words.
C. Body language is only used by deaf（耳聋的）people.
D. Body language is more important than spoken language.
( )10. Another title（题目） of this passage can be _____.
A. Languages Around the World
B. Everyone Should Speak the Same Language
C. Words Are Not Enough
D. People Are Talkative Animals
