Mrs Obama also encourages Chinese students to study【4】broaden their horizons (开阔视野) in a speech at Peking University. “As the Chinese saying goes: It is【5】to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books,” she said.

21、

Most people of the world do not bow(鞠躬) to each other, but Japanese people do. They often bow when they meet. Men bow to men and to women. Men and women may also bow to each other, but usually only if they do not know each other. The younger, or more junior person bows more deeply than the older, or more senior person. The Japanese also bow to say “thank you” for something, or to apologize for something.

Schoolchildren do not bow to each other. Schoolgirls say goodbye to each other by waving their hands and saying “bye bye”. Schoolboys may copy Westerners and pat each other on the back or make “high fives” with their hands.

Many types of hand gestures(手势) have special meanings. You may see Japanese people put their thumb and index finger together to form a circle. This circle represents(代表) a coin and this gesture is the sign for money. If the Japanese want to indicate(表明) “me” without using words, they point to themselves by putting a finger to their noses, but Westerners would point to their chests. All young Japanese children learn to make a “V” sign with their middle and index fingers when someone takes their photograph. In Japan, this sign means “peace”, but in England this sign means “victory”. To say “No”, “I don’t know” or “I don’t understand”, Japanese people wave their hands in front of their faces, so it may be difficult to understand exactly what someone means.

Nodding of the head may also be confusing. When Japanese people nod their heads, it does not mean they agree with what you are saying. It means that they understand what you are saying. You must also be careful not to misunderstand a smile. When the Japanese smile they may not be happy, in fact they may be embarrassed(尴尬的).

As in most countries in the world, Japanese people use a lot of body language. Some of it you will understand and some of it will be new or confusing to you.

【1】Japanese people bow ________.

“I know that when animals are frightened or excited, you have to stay calm.”

The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Emma, “Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the centre?”

“Interested? I would love to work here! What an opportunity!” Emma was excited.
