We know the kiss as a form. of expressing affection.But long before it became 51 ,it was the custom in many parts of the world to use the kiss as a(n) 52 of respect.

In many African tribes the natives kiss the ground over which a chief has walked.Kissing the hand and foot has been a mark of respect form. the 53 times.

The early Romans kissed the mouth or eyes as a form. of dignified greeting.One Ro-man emperor allowed his important nobles to kiss his lips, but the 54 important ones had to kiss his hands, and the 55 important ones were only allowed to kiss his feet!

It is quite probable that the kiss as a form. of affection can be traced back to primitive times when a mother 56 fondle her child, just as a mother 57 today. It only remained for society to 58 this as a custom for expressing affection between adults.

We have evidence that this was already the 59 by the time of the sixth century, but we can only assume it was 60 long before that.The first 61 where the kiss became ac-cepted in courtship and love was in France.When dancing became popular, almost every dance figure ended 62 a kiss.

From France the kiss spread rapidly all over Europe.Russia, which loved to 63 the customs of France，adopted the kiss and it spread there through all the upper classes．A kiss from the Tsar became one of the highest forms of recognition from the Crown．

In time，the kiss became a part of courtship． 64 marriage customs developed，the kiss became a part of the wedding ceremony．Today，of course，we regard the kiss as ai expression of love and tenderness．But there are still many places in the world where th。kiss is 65 0f formal ceremonies and is intended to convey respect．

听力原文：Today it is perfectly natural for us to shake hands when we greet someone, or say

goodbye. But like so many other things we do without thinking such actions at one time probably symbolized something else.

For example, in primitive life the hand was probably a symbol of power and strength. The hand was used to fight enemies, kill animals and make spears and implements. So when the hand was extended to someone, it could have represented good will, since it showed that the person was not armed or ready to fight.

We know that the hand was an important symbol in early religion, probably as a mark of power. The Greeks prayed to their gods with raised hands. Presenting hands palm to palm was at one time the way an inferior person paid respect to a superior.

Among the Arabs, it was customary at one time to kiss the hand of a superior. Later on, polite Arabs began to resist the efforts of people to kiss their hands, and some- times they would end up clasping hands as each tried to prevent the other from showing this mark of "inferiority".

The early Greeks held out the right hand when they wished to indicate friendship to a stranger. The hand and what was done with it have been full of meaning to people down through the ages. And while we shake hands, we are really carrying on a custom that has been handed down to us from ancient times.

(33)

A．Unfriendliness.

B．Generosity.

C．Friendship.

D．Strength.

If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and under-

stand. But there is another kind of language you need to know-the language of the body, a part of what is called non-verbal communication.

All over the world, people "talk" with their hands with their hands and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British people do？

Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down,

they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.

British people are more reserved (保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you home.

When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says "Hello". Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

In the first paragraph, the writer thinks that body language is ______.

A．useless

B．difficult

C．quite easy

D．important

Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cul-tural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunder-standing-only happiness.
