安徽省合肥市瑶海区2019-2020学年七年级下学期英语期末考试试卷
If I want you to give me a high—five, can you do it? If you search your pocket for five yuan, it will make others laugh(大笑)!I am not asking for your money, but your fingers. It's a kind of body language.
It's very popular in America, and lots of young Chinese people also like doing that.
How do you do a high—five? It's very easy. First, put one hand up in the air. Then hit (碰)someone's hand also high in the air. When people have something happy, they always use the body language. For example, a man wins a lottery (彩票). If a football team wins a game, the players will also give high—fives to everyone around.
There are different stories about how the high—five began. One story is like this: A very long time ago, some Americans saw a group of animals. They were so excited and they put their hands up into the air.
They just wanted to hit each other. In another story, some short men met some tall men, so they had to put their hands up high to shake hands with them. The high—five was born.
Next time, when you meet an American, give a friendly high—five and make your new friend feel right at home.
