D. Her teacher told Li Xie the news that a famous ballerina troupe would come.

　　C

　　A skilled traveler can take a taxi, buy food in a market, and get directions from a stranger through hand gestures alone.

　　Things can get lost in translation when a typical gesture from your country means something completely different in other parts of the world.

　　Below are some common North American gestures that often cause problems abroad.

　　1. V in Australia and England

　　In 1992, George Bush visited Australia and from the window of his car, held up his index(食指)and middle fingers in the “V” shape. This V means victory in England, or peace in North America. Too bad it means “up yours.” in Australia.

　　2. OK in France

　　Making a circle with your finger means “great” or “fine” in North America. It’s also used by divers to communicate that there are no problems. In France, however, this gesture means “zero.” Unless you’re motioning to a French diver, you might be communicating that something (or someone) is worthless.

　　3. One-handed giving in Japan

　　In the West, people aren’t especially mindful of their hands when they offer objects to others. In Japan, it is polite and expected for people to make offerings with both hands. If you give someone a business card, or hand them your camera to take a photo, be sure to pass on the item with both hands. This shows that you are fully attentive and careful in the offering. A one-handed presentation might be taken as dismissive(蔑视的).
