Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 37<br />
BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES<br />
The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words<br />
they are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice<br />
to communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are<br />
culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries.<br />
If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and<br />
shake it to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or<br />
snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.<br />
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your<br />
hands in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the<br />
soles of your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your<br />
right hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom.<br />
In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by<br />
clapping, and in India, whistling in public is considered rude.<br />
In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to<br />
show that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means<br />
‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money,<br />
and in the Middle East, it is a rude gesture.<br />
Question 30: It is mentioned in the passage that many gestures __________.<br />
A. may mean different things in different countries<br />
B. are not used to communicate our feelings<br />
C. can be used to greet each other in public<br />
