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. In Chinese and English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and began to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked. 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 the 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.
According to the passage, ______.
选项
A、we can hardly understand what people’s gestures mean
B、words and gestures may have different meanings in different cultures
C、words can be better understand by older people
D、gestures can be better understand by most of the people while words can not
答案
B
解析
根据第一段提到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,可知我们会用语言和手势来表达自己的感情,但问题是这些语言和姿势可以有不同的理解方式。后文中讲到,不同的理解方式有些是由于文化差异造成的。故选B项。
