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 in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin 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.
From this passage, we can conclude______.
选项
A、words are used as frequently as gestures
B、words are often found difficult to understand
C、words and gestures are both used in expressing feelings
D、gestures are more efficiently used than words
答案
C
解析
细节判断题。文中虽然大部分在讲手势语及其在不同文化中的含义,但是在开头也提到We use both words and gestures to express our feelings,后面再强调只是理解不同而已,所以从文章中可以得知C为正确的说法。文中并未比较gesture和words两者在表达感情时的使用频率或者是效率,也未提及语言难懂,故答案选C。
