E.　　  Task Reading. (5’×5=25’)

If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb(大手指) and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is thought to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually present flowers to his hostess(主人). The number must be an odd(奇数) one. Besides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is sign of love.

  Usually we nod(点头) to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disagreement. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria.

  The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid(避免) trouble. Then would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do?
