Handshaking, though a European practice, is often seen in big cities of China.Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed (无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other’s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. “Let’s shake (hands) on it” sometimes means agreement reached.

Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or-her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly- There is generally a misunderstanding (误解) among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved (保守的) in manner. But in fact some people in western countries more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.

64.In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other ______.

A.to make a deal                                 B.to greet each other

C.to show friendliness                          D.to reach an agreement

64.C 

解析:见文章中的as a sign of goodwill,它是一种善意亲切的表现。

65.B 

解析:在文章第一段说明了握手的来历。实际上也就是谈论握手是怎样产生的。

66.C

67.B 

解析:文章在第一段主要的说明了握手的来历,在第二段主要的说明了握手的时候,我们要具体情况具体分析。所以可以推断出:文章主要的是给我们介绍关于握手的一些具体事实。

  In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.

  The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight. hearing and touch play the most important roles.

  Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of handshaking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.

  The means of communication mentioned so far have two features(特点)in common; they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.

1.Why does the author explain that he will deal with reception of communication first?

[  ]

A.communication actually takes place when the message is received

B.there are more means of receiving than sending communications

C.it is difficult to organize by type the means of sending communications

D.reception of communications involved use of the senses

2.Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of ________.

[  ]

A.a simple system of visual communication

B.communication by touch

C.gesture and mimicry

D.communication by sound

3.Which of the following statements about communication by touch is true?

[  ]

A.It is possible to communicate intelligently by touch alone

B.Touch must accompany visual communication

C.Touch is not important as a means of communication

D.There is no well-developed system of communication based on touch

4.Which of the following statements about the ways of communicating ideas and feelings mentioned in the passage is false?

[  ]

A.They can be used to communicate over long distances

B.They require both a sender and a receiver

C.They involve use of conventional signs and symbols

D.They utilize the senses for reception

5.The author specifically mentions that speech is ________.

[  ]

A.necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture

B.the only highly developed form system of communication

C.often used when communicating by touch

D.the mast developed form of communication based on hearing

Can you communicate with others when you live in a foreign country with no or little knowledge of its language? Of course, it is possible. You can communicate your moods and intentions to one another without words, because all human beings share a lot of common visual(看见的)signals. These signals are as effective as words during communication.
The gestures of the head play a key role in body language. The movements of eyes and eyebrows are as important as head movements in body language.
  Besides the gestures of the head or the movements of the eyes and eyebrows, the action of arms, hands and legs is also a large part of body language. Extending one's arm and shaking hands with others is a greeting in both formal and informal cases. This part of body language might date back to primary tribes(部落).
  Like handshaking, there are still many other forms of body language presented by hands. Raising one's hand and making a circle with his thumb(拇指)and for finger signals, that something is OK. Clasped(握紧的)hands raised above the head, a traditional picture accepted by sportsmen after winning a fight, is a display of triumph that grows out of a kind of feeling following a victory. Waving one's hands, a speaker can make his words more powerful and vigorous(有活力的).
  Besides hand gestures, there are times when a person says something with his legs as well as with his head and eyes. The leg gestures often reflect one's attitude towards something or someone that person is with.
  According to the above facts, body language has offered a more reliable(可靠的)way to understand one's mind by means of gestures. Though it is soundless and wordless, once you understand it, you will feel the world is bigger than you realized.
