You don’t need to speak French to understand the Parisians (people living in Paris). You just need to know how to make gestures (手势). A new guide has come out by French tourism (旅游业) officials, which is to help foreign visitors understand Parisians with a list of common gestures like “shut up” and “wait a minute”. These gestures are easy and vivid (生动的). “If you use them the next time when you’re in Paris, people will start mistaking you for a native in no time,” says the online guide at www.cestsoparis.com.
Some of the city’s rude native people in Paris have been a headache for the tourism authorities (旅游当局) for a long time. They have tried their best to ask Parisians to be
8
friendlier to foreign visitors. At the same time, they have decided to show visitors commonly used gestures by Parisians at www.cestsoparis.com. Visitors can learn and get help from there.
The website includes the common gestures such as “Bof” and “Camembert”. “Bof” is used to mean “I don’t know” or “I disagree”, and “Camembert” is to tell someone to shut up.
And it also includes a note. It warns visitors not to use the gestures too freely. Otherwise, they may see some even ruder Parisian expressions.

If you want to be a volunteer, you have to answer the following questions. Do you want to work with people, animals or machines (机器)? Do you want to work indoors or outdoors, directly (直接地) serve people in need or serve people behind the scenes? Every year, thousands of people in the West offer (提供) volunteer service. They volunteer to help the old, the young, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the injured to solve problems.
Volunteers usually help in many different ways.
They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church (if up to the driving age), tell kids about healthy lifestyle, work as helpers in schools or nursing homes, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other
8
things. Volunteering can be a few hours a week or a few hours a month. Anybody who wants to serve people in need can become a volunteer.
In fact, the act of volunteering is a process of both giving and receiving. Volunteering makes it possible for volunteers to meet new people, make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is a good way to try out new techniques (技术) and skills and find out what you are good at. Being a volunteer will take you on a wonderful journey and help you learn more than what you can get from books.

六. 任务型阅读（每小题1分，共15分）
A. 阅读下面的材料，完成后面的表格。
When we think about helping poor countries, we often think about giving money. However, the traditional way is far from enough. We need better ideas to help them.
I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in poor countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer. It needs no electricity (电). He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia. He found students there in need of computers badly.
This laptop is a little different from the laptop computers you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be covered in rubber (橡胶) so that it won’t be damaged (损坏) easily. The computer has a special handle (把手) so that children can wind (摇) the computer up to give it power when needed.
Such a laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars. These computers will help the children’s education as they will be able to surf the Internet.
Another idea to help poor countries is to recycle (回收) old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.
The waste is very bad for the environment. This is why we should recycle them. In this way, we will reduce the waste we produce and help others.

Americans usually give gifts on birthdays and holidays. They give gifts such as cards, chocolate and flowers. When someone invites you to dinner, it is polite of you to give a small gift like a box of chocolate or a bottle of wine to the host. The host will open the gift right away and say some nice words.
These rules will be helpful when you want to give a gift or receive a gift from an American friend.
