The epidemic(疫情)has changed our lives. It not only forces us to stay at home, but also changes the way we work, study, and even go shopping. In many countries, the Novel Corona Virus Disease(COVID-19)has also changed the way people greet each other. To help stop the spread of disease, people give up their usual greeting styles and invent safe ways. Let's take a look!
Lean forward, touch cheeks(脸颊)and make a kissing sound. This is French people's favorite way of greeting. It's very romantic. But when facing the virus, kisses are not good. Etiquette expert(礼仪专家)Philippe Lichtfus gives people a suggestion: simply looking into a person's eyes can be a greeting. It's not so romantic but it's safe.
Like the French, Italians are also romantic people. When they meet, they always hug or kiss each other. Recently, an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight against the disease.
She says that if you meet, you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink. Isn't it cute?
It's a very Australian thing to shake hands. But if you do this, the virus can jump from one person to another. Now a health official in Australia says a pat on the back would be better. But it also has some problems. For example, it's a bit crude if you do this to your teachers.
A video shows that an interesting greeting way is now popular in Iran. In the video, 3 Iranians meet and tap their feet against each other. They wear masks with their hands in their pockets. It looks like they are playing a fun game. If we can't shake hands, why not try to "shake" feet?
1.Why do people give up their usual greeting styles nowadays?
A.To make life more interesting. B.To change their study way.
C.To protect themselves from the disease. D.To invent some new things.
2.What does French people's favorite greeting way include?
①Touch cheeks.
②Hug each other.
③Make a kissing sound.
④Give a tap on the back.
⑤Lean forward.
⑥Look into a person's eyes.
A.①②⑥ B.③④⑥ C.①③⑤ D.②④⑥
3.What's the Italian grandma's suggestion to greet others?
A. B. C. D.
4.What does the underlined word "crude" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.unlucky B.unhappy C.impatient D.impolite
5.In which country is "shaking feet" a popular way to greet cach other now?

九年级英语补全短文5选5中等难度题查看答案及解析
Humans live in a society. Not only verbal (语言的) communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.
Body language is made up of things like facial expressions (面部表情), eye contact and body movements. In fact, it came to be used as a form of communication before humans could speak or write. We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.
Body language is so widely used that you may not realize that you are sending many messages to others, though you haven’t said anything.
For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word “no” instead of saying the word. You might give a “thumbs up” to show that you like or agree with something. You might cross your fingers in the shape of a heart if you want to show love.
But since we are spending more time online, we may not have as many face-to-face communications as before. Because of this, our ways of non-verbal communication have changed, but it is still an important way to show our thoughts.
Our “digital (数字的) body language” is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. For example, instead of using voice messages, you can video chat with your friends to show them your smiling face.
Another way to express your feelings digitally is using emojis (表情符号).
“When we are communicating online, we are only showing the content and leaving out voices and facial expressions,” Moitree Banerjiee, a researcher at the University of Chichester in England, told Digital Trends. That’s why emojis can help much in communication.
Whether using video chat to show your expression or sending an emoji, don’t forget the importance of digital body language and non-verbal communication.
What body language is | ◆It is a way of expressing our thoughts and feelings1. using words. ◆It 2.facial expressions, eye contact and body movements. | |

They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?
