资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

We learn from the passage that people classify a person into certain type according to_______

A.his way of speaking and behaving
B.his way of acting and thinking
C.his learming and behavior
D.his physical appearance and his personality

Nonverbal（不用语言的）elements form a major part of any communication interchange. Som( people would say it's the most important part. According to one study,words convey only 7 percen of a person's message.Intonation and voice quality communicate 38 percent,and nonverbal cue, transmit a whopping 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communicatior than from the words a person says.When studying about a foreign culture,then,it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.
Gestures comprise a major form of nonverbal communication. In contrast to sign language,usec by deaf people to communicate elaborate messages,gestures function as visual icons which represeni a single idea. But often these gestures are embarrassingly culture bound.For example,when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone,it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture,it means just the opposite.Also,Americans often indicate "OK"with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle.The same gesture means"money" to the Japanese,"zero"to the French and a vulgarity to Brazilians.For that reason,people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.
Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space.Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body.When someone comes too close,he feels uncomfortable.When he bumps into someone,he feels obligated to apologize.But the size of a person's"comfort zone"varies,depending on his cultural or ethnic origin.For example,in causal conversation,many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words,they like to keep each other"at arm's length".People in Latin or Arab cultures,in contrast,stand very close to each other,and touch each other often.If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation,the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A:Sticking out tongue at someone is a sign of respect in New Zealand.
B:Sticking out tongue at someone is irrespective in America.
