A
Understanding cultural body language in other countries is very helpful in communication, especially when we
can't speak a foreign language.Here are some gestures and their meanings in different cultures.I hope these will
help you when you try to interact with foreigners.
Head movements
In some parts of India, people shake their heads to show they are actively listening or agree with you.In
western countries,people nod to confirm. However,in Bulgaria and Greece, nodding actually means the contrary.
Eye contacts
Some countries,such as Japan and Finland, consider constant eye contact awkward.In Caribbean
cultures,children and teenagers are taught not to look at adults in the eyes when they are being corrected. Strong
eye contact is common among people of the same sex in Spain and
Arabic countries.
Hands
The "thumbs up" sign is used in many cultures to mean “OK”。 In France,it can mean No.1, but it has a very
rude sexual meaning in Islamic countries,Cerdena and Greece. Interestingly,the＂OK"sign means “zero”or
"nothing" in France,while some other European countries such as Greece,Italy,Brazil,and Russia consider it as
impolite.
Greetings and goodbyes
Shaking hands is a normal and formal way to greet or say goodbye in western countries. But in Romania
,
only
men usually shake hands.And they do it every time they meet, not just the first! In England, however,it's unusual to
shake hands with someone you are introduced to in an informal setting.
Legs
Sitting with crossed legs is common in North America and European countries, but it is considered
disrespectful in Asia and the Middle East where a straight and balanced posture is the norm(规范）。Body
language varies from country to country. When you communicate with foreigners, one safe way is to understand,
respect and follow the culture.

B
A 15-year-old scientist and inventor has been named as Time's first ever Kid of the Year.
Rao is a high school student from Colorado. She was chosen from 5,000 U.S.-based nominees ( 提 名 ). Time
said in a statement that Rao stood out for her ability to apply scientific ideas to real-world problems and her efforts
to motivate other kids to take up their own causes. Rao told the Associated Press that the prize is “nothing that I
could have ever imagined. And I'm so grateful and just so excited that we're really taking a look at the upcoming
generation and our generation, since the future is in our hands.” She insists that starting out small doesn't matter, as
long as you're enthusiastic about it.
It's just the latest recognition for the teenager, who was named last year to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Rao
won praise in 2017 after she developed a portable device（设备） to detect lead (铅) in water. She went on to
cooperate with scientists in the water industry to try to get the device on the market.
The young scientist has also developed an app called Kindly that uses artificial intelligence to help prevent
cyberbullying (网络欺凌). It allows teens to type in a word or phrase to find out if the words they're using are
hurtful and amount to（等于）bullying, and thus should be avoided.
In an interview with Time, Rao said that her pursuits（追求） in science started early as a way to improve
conditions in society. In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged, Rao insists that its pursuit
is an important act of kindness. It is the best way that a younger generation can better the world. Science and
technology are being employed as never before to handle various issues, such as global warming, the outbreak of
disease and so on, she noted.
“We have science in everything we're involved in, and I think that's the biggest thing to put out there, that
science is cool, invention is cool, and anybody can be an inventor," Rao said.“ Anybody can do science.
4. What is one of the reasons for Rao being honored by Time?
A. The up-to-date ideas she had come up with.
