阅读理解。

    Honey(蜂蜜)from African(非洲)forest is very delicious.

    Most people and many animals like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(蜂巢)and take honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. But in parts of Africa, people and animals have a strange helper — a little bird called a honey helper.

    In fact, the honey helper does not like honey, but it likes the wax(蜂蜡)in the nest. The little bird cannot reach the wax because it is inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a nest, it looks for someone to help. The little bird sings loudly to get the attention(注意) of both passing animals and people. When it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting for the following animal or person that loves honey. Then it helps them find the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower tries to get the delicious honey and the bird waits and watches. Some of the honey and the wax always fall to the ground, and this is when the bird takes its share.

    Scientists do not know why the bird likes eating the wax, but they seem to be able to smell the wax far away.

A、it's small B、it hides up in the tree   C、it's too far D、it's in Africa

Gestures are used to replace words in many countries. They usually have different meanings in different cultures. Let's look at some of the gestures. 

What does the "O" gesture mean?

If you are an English speaker or diving(潜水) under the sea, it means "OK" or "good". In fact, it's believed that this gesture is popular used by divers. The Japanese read it as "money". The French read it as "zero" or "no value". 

What does the "thumb-up" gesture mean? 

This gesture also means differently in different countries. English speakers use it to stand for "OK", which is the same meaning as the "O" gesture. To most people, it stands for the number "1", since they count from 1 to 5, beginning with the thumb for 1 and ending with the little finger for the number 5. 

Although Americans and British people usually ask for a ride with their thumbs raised, the gesture will not make a Greek(希腊)driver stop to give them a ride. 

What does it mean to extend (伸出) your index finger (食指)?

Extending the index finger means different things in different countries. The Chinese extend their index finger upward to show the number. They can refer to the number, such as "one", "one hundred", "one thousand", etc. In Japan, the index finger up means only one or once. This gesture means the first in order. In the United States of America, use this gesture when asking the other person to wait. In Australia, in bars and restaurants, the index finger is extended upward, saying, "A glass of beer, please. " But pay attention, in the Middle East, it is impolite to point at something with your index finger.
