24、Do you know that 93 percent of our communication is through our body? We call it body language. This can include the body-gesture language, head-neck language, sign language, face language and looks language. In different cultural backgrounds, the same movement might have quite different meanings, which, as a result, may usually lead to misunderstanding in communication. Misuse of body language can be an unpleasant or even dangerous experience.

In 1992, the President George H. W. Bush made a state visit to Australia. People lined up along the roadside to welcome the American President who greeted them with raised fingers in the form of “V” with the back of his hand toward the onlookers. The following morning a headline in a local newspaper announced that the American President insulted (侮辱) the Australians. In Australia, the “V” sign with the back of the hand equals to the middle finger. But in America it means victory.

Have you understood the importance of body language? Pay attention to the following and you will realize that they are very helpful when you are in Australia.

Men in Australia shake hands instead of kissing when they meet. In China, thumbing up means “You are good”. However, it’s rude in Australia. If an Australian laughs at others, he makes his thumb down. If you want to order a glass of beer in the bar, just hold up your forefinger. And in social situation, you shouldn’t yawn or stretch yourself.

Keep these in mind and have a nice trip in Australia.

【1】How many body languages did the author mention in the first paragraph?

The program offers 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in start-up funding to young people who have great ideas. It also assigns(分配) each of them a tutor who provides guidance on spending the money and running the company.
