We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. (80)
In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and began to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.
However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese "surprise" can be described in a phrase like "they stretched out their tongues? Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.
选项
A、we can hardly understand what people’s gestures mean
B、we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures
C、words can be better understood by older people
D、gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot
答案
B
解析
本题考查的是考生对文章整体意思的把握。答案对应文章的第一、二段。第一段说这些词汇和姿势会被理解成不同的含义,因此B“当人们用词汇、话语或手势、姿态表达感受时,我们经常不能确定它们的意思”是正确的。A“我们很难理解人们姿势的意思”不正确。在第二段中作者指出微笑、大笑和哭泣在任何语言中的意思是相同的,不同的动物也会以相同的方式表达相同的感受。所以人们的手势或姿态并不是很难理解的。C也不正确,因为文章说老人比年轻人能更好地理解肢体语言,没有提到词语。D在文章中没有提到。
