They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a groups values and beliefs.What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to ones manner of speaking.In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public.In some countries, too much volume of ones voice may annoy people.2. 3 For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact.In the US., people make eye contact when they talk to others. 4. In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in.Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many Western countries. 5. Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or “talking with your hands”， is considered unsuitable.Behavior that is acceptable and nonoffensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another.When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.ANonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.BIn Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.CIn spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.DCancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.ELearn a countrys customs so that you dont hurt the local people unconsciously.FThey might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.GIf a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了不同国家习俗方面的禁忌，以及肢体语言、手势语的不同运用。1C解析：上句是对taboo的定义，下句讲它们通常是一个国家或一种文化所特有的，通常是围绕着一个团体的价值观和信仰而形成的。由此可以推断，C项(尽管一些人可能这样认为，但禁忌不是通用的)符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选C项。2F解析：本段主要讲一些人对禁忌的看法，比如一些私人问题不能在公共场合谈论等。根据设空前一句中的too much volume of ones voice may annoy people可知，在一些国家，说话声音太大会惹恼别人，F项(他们可能认为大声说笑是粗鲁的或充满挑衅的)正好是对上一句的解释。故选F项。3A解析：根据设空后一句中的eye contact可知，本段主要讲眼神接触在不同文化中有不同的要求，属于肢体语言。故A项(非语言禁忌通常和肢体语言有关)符合语境。4G解析：本段讲的是眼神接触的作用，根据关键词eye contact可知，G项与该段主题一致，故选G项。5B解析：本段介绍手势语在不同国家的含义。上一句介绍了把中指和食指交叠起来，在很多西方国家意味着好运。下文应该介绍其他国家对此不同的理解，B项(然而在越南和阿根廷，这是一个粗鲁的手势)符合语境，故选B项。11
