A smile is one of the most common examples in different countries.While Americans smile freely at strangers,in Russia this is considered strange and even impolite .In Asian countries a smile isn’t necessarily an expression of joy but it can be used to express pain. The acceptable physical distance is another major difference.In Latin America and the Middle East the acceptable distance is much shorter than what most Europeans and Americans feel comfortable with. Hand and arm movements as a form of body language are also very different among countries.Handshakes are usually acceptable almost everywhere ,even between strangers; however, kissing on the cheek and touching on the shoulder or other body parts aren’t. For many people in Asian and other parts of the world,such actions are seen as a violation(侵犯)of one’s personal space.This is why you should not touch other easily. Eye contact(目光接触) is one of the forms of body language where the differences are most striking. In America and Latin America looking the other person in the eye is a sign of respect.But in Asian countries, prolonged(过长的) eye contact is especially rude, so you should try your best not to do that.39.To humans, body language is______. A.funny B.strange C.important D.uncommon40.In which place is smiling at strangers considered impolite? A.Asia. B.Russia. C.The U.S. D.Latin America.41.Which form of body language is acceptable almost everywhere? A.Shaking hands. B.Keeping a short distance. C.Kissing on the cheek.

Three quarters of teacher say the Internet and search tools have had a great effect on their students’ research habits and skills. But 87 percent agree that this young generation don’t know about hard work and can’t stay attentive (注意力集中的) for long. And 64 percent say the Internet does more to distract (使分心) student than to help them in their studies. Many students think “doing research”just means doing a quick search on Google. According to the teacher,one problem is that students trust too much of the information on the Internet. These students have not developed skills to judge the quality of the information. It’s something that really has to ba taught and paid attention to .It’s like everything else.In a world where things can happen quickly, you really need to have a way to step back,think and make judgment about the informatio
