Ive picked up a few things from travelling around for work. Why?M：Well, I had a meeting today with a woman from Japan and she wouldnt stop bowing! I didnt know what to do!W：Did you bow back?M：No, I tried to shake her hand, but her hand was so limp. I was a bit offended.W：Well, Japanese businessmen and businesswomen typically bow to greet each other in Japan. She might have been offended by your strong handshake.M：But she was in Japan! Didnt she know that strong handshakes in America signify confidence?W：Things are different in Japan.You know, in some countries, making eye contact with others is considered rude.M：Is that why she wouldnt look at me in the meeting?W：I think its highly possible.M：The meeting really didnt go down well at all. I think I need to read up on body language before Ihave another meeting with someone from another country.W：Thats a good idea. When you dont know much about other cultures, the simplest thing can offend someone.M：Thats true.Text 2W：Hi, Carl. What are you doing?M：Im reading a book.W：Whats it about?M：Its about body language, and its very interesting. Do you want to read it?W：No. Just tell me something about it. In my opinion, different countries have different body language, right?M：Quite right. But most body language means the same thing in different countries, for example, putting up a hand means “May I ask a question？” and a smile and a handshake show “welcome”W：Oh, I see. Nodding the head of course means “Yes.” Dont you think so?M：Not quite. In some Asian countries it means “No.” not “Yes.”W：Really? Thats quite different from ours. I think it necessary for me to look through this book.M：OK, here you are.1核心单词(1)statement(n.) 陈述；说明state(vt.) 声明；陈述state(n.) 状态；州；国家(2)represent(vt.) 代表；象征representative(adj.) 有代表性的 (n.) 代表；典型(3)curious(adj.) 好奇的curiously (adv.) 好奇地curiosity(n.) 好奇；好奇心(4)approach(vt.& vi.) 接近；靠近；走近 (n.) 接近；方法；途径(5)defend(vt.) 保护；保卫defence(n.) 防御；保卫defensive(adj.) 防御性的(6)major(adj.) 主要的majority(n.) 大多数；大部分(7)misunderstand(vt.) 误解；误会misunderstanding (n.) 误解；误会misunderstood(过去式/过去分词)(8)likely(adj.) 可能的(9)ease(n.) 安逸；舒适(vt.) 减轻(痛苦、忧虑)2阅读单词(1)greet (vi. & vt.) 迎接；问候 (2)association (n.) 社团；联系；联想 (3)flight (n.) 飞行；航班 (4)dash (vi.) 猛冲；突进 (5)facial (adj.) 面部的 (6)function (n.) 作用；功能；职能(vi.) 起作用；运转 (7)truly (adv.) 真实地；真正地；真诚地 (8)false (adj.) 错误的；假的 (9)anger (n.) 怒气；怒火 (10)subjective (adj.) 主观的 【即景活用】用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空1It is good to be curious about the world around you because I think _(curious) is the best teacher.答案：curiosity2The _(represent) were all amazed by what had happened in the factory.答案：representatives3Mr Green _(greet) me warmly as I arrived.答案：greeted4All the _(approach) to the airport were blocked by the police yesterday.答案：approaches5All the people，men and women, young and old, were fighting against the flood in _(defend) of their own homes.答案：defence6When you are playing, watch your tone of voice and _(face) expression.答案：facial7Soon afterwards he made his first public _(state) about the affair.答案：statement8_(misunderstand) by others when you do nothing wrong is quite a bad experience.答案：Being misunderstood9She is not an outgoing person and she doesnt let anyone know what she _(true) feels.答案：truly10Do you belong to any professional or trade _(associate)?答案：associations联想积累1“方法”大全做某事的方法用这种方式2“主要的；重要的”形容词家族major主要的；重要的main主要的chief首要的primary主要的；首要的important重要的；重大的leading重要的；首位的principle主要的；首要的vital极其重要的significant意义重大的3常见“人体部位及器官”名词荟萃cheek脸颊forehead额头chest胸部shoulder肩膀throat喉咙tongue 舌头lung 肺4后缀ly构成的形容词集锦likely可能的brotherly兄弟般的costly昂贵的daily日常的friendly友好的lively活泼的manly有男子气概的lovely可爱的orderly整洁的weekly每周的1defend .against 防御；保卫以免受2be_likely_to_do 很可能；有希望3in_general 总的来说；通常4on_the_contrary 相反5at ease舒适；快活；自由自
