help you make yourself easily understood when you are talking with others, you are not just using words,
but also using expressions and 2 . For example, waving one’s hand is to say “Good-bye”. Shaking
hands means welcome, and clapping hands 3 congratulations.
Nodding the head means agreement, but shaking the head means disagreement. The gestures are 4
both by the Chinese and foreigners as having 5 some meanings.Different countries have different body
language. For example, when in Russia, France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet, but
men in China or Australia shake hands 6 kissing. People in Puerto Rico like touching each other, but
people in Britain do not touch each other. People in Arab countries like standing 7 one another when
they are talking, 8 English people must keep a distance 9 when they are talking.

or sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating.
Can you see the rabbits" tail. When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they are warning
each other to run. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making
many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra is angry, it raises its sound. It has given them
a signal and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes
back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little
dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals say things by making sound. A dog
barks, for example when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when pleased. Some birds make several
different sounds, each with its own meaning.
Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like " Oh" or " Ah!" when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes. Of things, actions, feelings or ideas, we are able to give each other all kinds of different. But we have something that no animals have a large
number of words which have the meanings, information in words and sentences, which no other animals
can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have. | | 1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? | A. Animals do have a language like that of human beings.
