But, before there was the written word, body gestures were used as a means of communication. How people communicate with each other varies with customs and countries, but always the body gesture is involved.In Roman times, a simple thumbs up or thumbs down could decide if a gladiator(角斗士) in the amphitheater(竞技场) lived or died. We all know the common gesture for anger is a fist, and blaming someone is holding a finger at them. And when we are upset, some people use the middle finger to show they are angry. These natural, expressive gestures are commonly known as “body language”. Sometimes, a knowing glance or a caressing touch is more powerful than one thousand words. If a Chinese man comes across a very beautiful girl in the street, whats his response? In America when a man sees a pretty girl they raise their eyebrows. An Italian man presses his finger into his cheek and twists it back and forth. In Greece, the men stroke their cheeks and French men kiss their fingertips. And Arabs grasp their beards. In America we consider the “thumbs up” gesture as a sign of success, but in Australia it is considered a “rude gesture”. And yet, if youre a female visiting Australia, you may be surprised to see men “wink” at you, but in Australia its merely a friendly gesture. Using our hands to express us is a good way, but using the wrong hand gesture can also be embarrassing. Here is a joke about a president. After telling the press he was an expert in hand gestures, the President gave the “V-for Victory” sign as he drove in his grand car past demonstrators(示威者) in Canberra, Australias capital. In Australia, holding up two fingers to form a “V” has the same vulgar meaning as the middle-finger gesture in the United States. The Australian demonstrators were angry, and they signaled in the same manner back at the President. The President later had to apologize for his mistake.1. What is the best title for the passage?
