21、Every day we communicate with others—often with symbols or gestured. Here are some of the most common gestures.

Shaking Hands

Shaking Hands has been done since at least the second century B. C. It’s a symbol of believing each other. Now we usually shake the right hands. But in the old time, people also shook left hands.

Thumbs (拇指) Up

The Thumbs Up sign is thought to come from a match in Rome. There people decided whether the fighter would live or die by thumbs up or thumbs down. In fact it came from an old English saying “Here’s my thumb on it”. Business men held their thumbs up and extended (延伸) them until the two touched each other.

Rock, Paper, Scissors

Rochambeau, or rock, paper, scissors is played all over the world to deal with something difficult. In Indonesia, it is earwig (蜈蚣), human, and elephant. The earwig drives the elephant mad. The human killed the earwig, and the elephant killed the human. So far, nobody has known why it is called Rochambeau. It is still a mystery.

OK

Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts (持续) a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) on your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up.
