单选题

Body language is of great importance to humans. We carry many of the meanings through body movements. However, many forms of body language we consider to be fine in our country can get us into trouble in other parts of the world.

　　A smile is one of the most common examples in different countries. While Americans smile freely at strangers, in Russia this is considered strange and even impolite. In Asian countries a smile isn't necessarily an expression of joy but it can be used to express pain.

　　The acceptable physical distance is another major difference. In Latin America and the Middle East the acceptable distance is much shorter than what most Europeans and Americans feel comfortable with. Hand and arm movements as a form of body language are also very different among countries. Handshakes are usually acceptable almost everywhere, even between strangers; however, kissing on the cheek and touching on the shoulder or other body parts aren't. For many people in Asia and other parts of the world, such actions are seen as a violation （侵犯）of one' s personal space. This is why you should not touch others easily.

　　Eye contact（目光接触）is one of the forms of body language where the differences are most striking. In America and Latin America looking the other person in the eye is a sign of respect. But in Asian countries, prolonged（过长的）eye contact is especially rude, so you should try your best not to do that.

What does striking in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?（　　）

正确答案：B

本题解析：

词义猜测题。由最后一段可知，在美国和拉丁美洲，直视别人表示对对方的尊重，但是在亚洲国家，过长时间地直视别人是很不礼貌的。这表明目光接触这种身势语在不同的地区的含义是有很明显的差异的。由此推测，striking一词在这句话中的意思是“明显的，显著的”。故B正确。

I am watching my son and hundreds of his classmates, marching in perfect order into the university football stadium（体育场）. Holding back my tears, I search for my son in the sea of people. Suddenly, there he is. I jump to my feet and start waving. Arms flying back and forth above my head, l look like a windmill（风车）, or maybe an airport worker guiding a plane. I see him smile, then laugh as he pulls his camera out of his pocket. He takes a picture of me as he waves back, and then goes to find his seat.

　　What is it about graduations that makes them so moving? Why do most of us women cry as we watch our sons, daughters, grandchildren, nieces , and nephews march in dark robes（长袍）? We cry partly because, no matter how old our children are, and no matter how much they have achieved, in our eyes they are still the little babies we carry around the house to comfort.

　　And, of course, we cry also because something wonderful is ending, and we miss it already. Whatever is on its way to take its place will not be the same. It has been such a gift to have my son go to college close to home. We never have to worry about whether he will be able to make the trip home for a holiday. But this was a time-limited gift. My son will attend graduate school in California. We will talk and text like crazy, and visit as often as we can. But it will not be the same.

What will be different when the son attends graduate school?（　　）
