Before saying anything, people communicate with each other by using gestures（手勢）. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.Today in the USA, when someone puts his thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Greece it is bad. Also putting your clasped（緊握的）hands up above your head means “I am the winner.” It is the sign which players often make. In Russia it is the sign of friendship.In the USA, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger（食指）, and the other three straight means “Everything is OK.” In France, it means “You are worth nothing.”It is also important to make eye communication. If you look down when talking to an American, he or she may feel that you are shy, or you are trying to hide something.Besides these, you should also know there are some topics that cannot be talked about, such as age, weight and marriage. You can talk about the weather, work, sports, food, where one lives and news of the day.9. Which of the following is true?A. People all over the world only communicate by words. B.

More than 30 percent of these students go to the United States. Around 15 percent go to France, and 10 percent to both England and Germany. A little less than 10 percent go to Australia, and around 5 percent go to Canada.No matter where a student chooses to study, there are some things universities around the world require. First, all students must graduate from high school before they can apply to a university. Most universities also require some kind of test for students to enter the university. Universities in the United States, Australia, and Canada usually require some kind of standardized exam, such as the SAT in the United States. Students who do not come from English-speaking countries also must take a test such as TOEFL in the United States and Canada to show they know enough English to study in English. England and Australia require students to take the IELTS.In most countries, students must apply to each university they hope to go to.
