We are always using body language in our daily lives. When we have a conversation with someone, we may be using more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. That's why people sometimes cannot understand each other.

Pointing to one part of the body can have different meanings in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means “He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head”. In our Chinese culture, nodding our head up and down means “yes” and shaking our head from side to side means “no”. However, in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means “Everything is all right”. However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means “You're worth zero”. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture, or we are thought to be very rude (粗鲁的).

The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the “V” sign meant “peace”. However, during the World War II, it meant “victory”. In Greece, it is an insulting sign. It will be very rude of you to make this gesture in front of a woman.

Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.

Boasting a long history, China is home to many famous paintings, which are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.

Nymph (仙女) of the Luo RiverGu Kaizhi

The legend has it that Cao Zhi fell in love with the governor's daughter. However, she married his brother and the prince became upset. Later, he wrote an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.

Court Ladies Adorning (装饰) Their Hair with FlowersZhou Fang

During the Tang Dynasty, the genre (体裁) of "beautiful women painting" enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as if they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.

Along the River During the Qingming FestivalZhang Zeduan

Zhang Zeduan depicted (描述) the landscape in his work. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.

A Thousand Li of Rivers and MountainsWang Ximeng

Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history.

As fall comes, Germany holds its biggest beer festival—Oktoberfest(啤酒节). Oktoberest is probably the most well—known folk festival worldwide . It is also known for the drinking of beer worldwide. The celebration begins in late September and lasts until the first Sunday in October. Each year more than 6 million people around the world attend .

Beer has been a main product of German society for centuries and drinking beer has been a part of German tradition and culture . There are over 7.000 different kinds of beer brewed(酿造) in Germany . Drinking beer in Germany is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been a way of life that Germans have accepted and it has become a sign of Germans. They take great pride in their beer, going so far as to write the German Beer Purity Law in 1516 that is still in use today.

Why do Germans like beer so much ? Though beer wasn't invented in Germany , it was very popular because it was safer to drink than water. Beer is made from grain (粮食). In the past , people saw it as a kind of"food". Also, water in the past was—always polluted , so Germans have historically drunk beer instead of clean water.

If you were to visit Germany , it would be advisable to try the beer that is most popular in that region, like Pilsner, wheat beer and lager. The art of brewing beer has been practiced for centuries and Germans are masters at their brewing craft(工艺)!66、67题完成句子: 68~70题简略回答问题。
