教师公开招聘考试小学英语分类模拟10
一、阅读理解
A
Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, "Do you have cold drinks?" The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows, which in Micronesia means "yes".
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".

He was struggling to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him.
I did, and he was grateful.
"Thank you," he said.
"I'm glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach," I said.
He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted terribly, and he couldn't do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable.
I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.
"Nice shoes," he said.
"Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before," I said.
"No one has the same view of the world as I do," he replied.
"Tell me about the world as you see it," I said smiling.
"Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet," he said. "If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they're impatient with me.
I don't want to make people uncomfortable."
"What about me?" I asked.
"I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous," he said. "I don't normally have someone look me in the eye."
"They don't know what they're missing," I told him.
"My old face is nothing to brag about." he said.
"But that smile is so big."
Yes, and it's not only a big smile but an attitude.1. The disabled man knew people were impatient mostly by their ______.
A.words
B.eyes。
