Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It does not have the same meaning as our “ {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   “. If someone wants to visit  India, he should know this or it will give him some   {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  .

 One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired （雇用）a car and an Indian driver. When he told his driver to take him to his office, the driver shook his head at once. The officer {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  his order and the driver shook his head again. At last, the officer, of course, got  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 。

“How dare（敢）you refuse my order?” he  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   , “Drive me to the office at once!”

 The driver answered in a very loud voice too. “Yes, sir.” But to the officer's surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.

 The car started and the officer was now so surprised that he {#blank#}6{#/blank#}   say a word. He thought about it for a while and nodded with a smile, " 'No' means 'Yes' here!”

    My father {#blank#}1{#/blank#}( work) in an office. There {#blank#}2{#/blank#} two large windows in it. One day, a woman in a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(pass) car looks up and sees my father. My father waves his hands, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the woman waves back. This gives my father an idea.

  Later, he changes his way of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( greet) people. He writes signs, like “Hello” {#blank#}6{#/blank#} “Be happy”. Every afternoon when people go home from work, my father will greet them with the signs. Then they will give my father big smiles.

The day when I come into the world, my father puts a sign {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the window, “I'm a new father!” To his {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprise), some of people hold a sign saying, “Congratulations!”

  My father learns the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( true) in the saying, “You smile, and the whole world smiles with you.” And he becomes {#blank#}10{#/blank#} first one who greets strangers with signs every day.
