问题 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.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 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 their 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.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
选项 A、It is difficult to tell what people’s words or gestures really mean.
B、Gestures can be understood by most people but words can not.
C、Words can be better understood by older people.
D、We can easily understand what people’s gestures mean.
答案A
解析 判断正误题。根据第一段可知，语言和姿势都可以表达我们的感情，但是问题是人们可以对语言和姿势有不同的理解，故选A。
