" How far is it to the next village?" the American asks a man sitting by the side of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地) , he will politely say " Just down the road. " He thinks this is more encouraging , gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling " tricked". He thinks the man purposely cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.
Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt he was "cheating" the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic(同情的)to the weary driver, he would say "You have a good way to go
yet; it is at least 15 miles. "The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect.
Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different
cul-tures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.
61. The man at the roadside tells the American it is close to the next village because
[ A] he is playing a trick on him
[ B ] the American expects the answer
[ C] he doesn ' t know the exact distance at all
[D]he wants to encourage him to go further

听力原文: Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to find out about the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.
A visitor to India must remember that it is not polite for people to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man obviously shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show "yes" and nod your head to show "no".
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this will cause anger in Thailand. Also touching the head of an elderly person in Thailand is very impolite.
Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, but you also need to know the language used to express the manners.

SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: When we think of communication, we normally think of using words—talking face-to-face, writing messages and so on. But in fact we communicate far more in other ways. Our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not.
Then there are gestures, often unconscious: raising the eyebrows, rubbing the nose, shrugging the shoulders, tapping the fingers, nodding and shaking the head. There is also the even more subtle "body language" of posture: are you sitting or standing with arras or legs crossed? Is that person standing with hands in pockets, held in front of the body or hidden behind? Even the way we dress and the colors we wear communicate things to others.
So, do animals communicate? Not in words, although a parrot might he trained to repeat words and phrases which it doesn't understand. But as we have learnt, there is more to communicate than words. Take dogs for example. They bare their teeth to warn, wag their tails to welcome and stand firm, with hair erect, to challenge. These signals are surely the canine equivalent of the human body language of facial expression, gesture and posture.
What are the ways animals communicate?
A.Words.
B.Gesture and posture.
C.Facial expressions.
D.Special signals.
