Even a child knows that nodding the head means "yes". But some people will probably be puzzled when the y first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, he often shakes his head. They might think that the Indian does not like what he said, but on the contrary, he is expressing agreement. The Indians have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody. It doesn"t mean "No", but "Yes". If a person doesn"t know this, it might cause misunderstanding (误解). At one time a foreigner in India told his driver who was an Indian to take him to his office. The driver shook his head. The foreigner said his request again and again and the driver still shook his head. At last, the foreigner shouted angrily, "Drive me to my office at once!" The driver said in a low voice, "Yes, sir," smiling and shaking his head again at the same time. |

"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. "Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It"s cool." You may think, "He is so cool," when you see your favourite football player. And here is an interesting story we can use to show one of the different ways the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. One student wrote, "It"s so cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So can you think of many other words that makes your life as colourful as the word "Cool" ? If you can, I think that is also very cool. |

Traveling to every part of the world gets easier, but how well do we know and understand each other. Here"s a simple test. Imagine you are planning to hold a meeting at four o"clock. What time should you expect your foreign business friends to arrive? If they are Germans, they"ll arrive on time. If they are Americans, they"ll probably be 15 minutes early. If they are Englishmen, they"ll be 15 minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for the Italians. The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world, people would always understand what they do. However, they found they were completely wrong. For example, the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters and have a drink during the meal. The Japanese prefer not to work while eating. Lunch is a time for them to relax and get to know each other and they don"t drink at lunchtime. The Germans like to talk business before dinner. The French like to eat first and talk afterwards. They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything. |
