问题     We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.
    It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they axe angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.
    Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like "they stretched out their tongues!" .Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
    Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.
According to the passage, ______.
选项 A、we can hardly understand what people’s gestures mean
B、we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures
C、words can be better understand by older people
D、gestures can be understand by most of the people while words can not
答案B
解析 可以首先阅读选项，确认最有道理的答案选项，然后在文章中找到其依据句。如果找不到一个选项的依据句就说明本选项不是正确答案。B选项的依据句就是文章的第一句话“We use both words and gestures to express our feelings，but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.”其他选项在文中找不到依据。
