Body Language in the United States
   Most people shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time.Among very good friends，a woman may give another woman a little hug，and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek.Males don't hug one another，which，however，is changing.Men usually shake hands with the right hand.Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person's arm.This shows greater warmth and friendship.Most people wave hello or good-bye by extending the palm（手掌） facing outward，and twisting the hand at the wrist（手腕）.Another way is to raise the arm，palm outward，and move the whole arm and hand back and forth.This is important to know because in many other countries，the same movements mean "no".
   When people are waiting in a public place，such as the post office，they usually form lines.Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people.Moreover，many women like men to open doors for them.They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation.However，some women do not like this type of behavior.They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.
   In the United States，it's important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations.If you don't make eye contact，people will probably think that you are bored or not interested.If there is silence in these situations，people usually try to make conversation.Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable.People in the United States usually stand about one arm's length away from each other while talking or standing together.This space is called "the comfort zone".
   In the United States，mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger（食指） at them.People may show that they like children by patting them on the head.

2．The Torch Festival （火把節(jié)） is a traditional festival which is celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China，such as the Yi，Bai，Hani，Lisu，and Lahu，etc.It usually falls on the 24th or 25th of June，with three days of celebrations.The festival came from worship （崇拜） of fire by ancestors （祖先）.For some ethnic groups，it's a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them about taking care of crops.
   During the festival，big torches are made to stand in all villages，with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls，the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time，people walk around the fields and houses，holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages，young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.

3．When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors，how do they know who's who？
   In the past，scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them.But in the future，they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
   A research team from China's Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys （金絲猴） that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.
   Similar to human facial recognition，the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database （數(shù)據(jù)庫） that includes every monkey，Xinhua reported.
   "When the system is fully developed，we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains.The system will automatically （自動(dòng)地） recognize the monkeys，name them and analyze their
behavior， " said Zhang He，a member of the research team.
   "For each snub-nosed monkey，we have 700 to 800 image samples，and the recognition success rate is 94 percent， "Zhang added.
   "We used mobile phones and portable （可攜帶的） cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters， " said He Gang，a member of the research team and an associate （副的） professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. "There is no need to interfere （打擾） with the monkeys . . .Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive （非侵入性的）. "
   Compared to humans，facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces.The color of their hair causes them to blend （融入） into their environment.These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
   "Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do.It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them，which are needed to improve the system， "said Li Baoguo，leader of the research team.
   Currently，there are about 4，000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain.The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.

（1）What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text？

A．How to mark them.
B．How to tell them apart.
C．How to understand their behavior.
D．How to observe them clearly
（2）What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys？

A．It is now widely adopted in China.
B．It works better than human facial recognition.
C．It will use monkeys' behavior to create a database.
D．It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them.
（3）What does "these factors" in paragraph 8 refer to？

a.Image samples.
b.Hairy faces.
c.Hair color.
d.The environment.
A．a(chǎn)b
B．a(chǎn)c
C．bc
D．bd
（4）What is the author's main purpose in writing the article？

A．To introduce a new way to identify monkeys.
B．To show the importance of studying monkeys.
C．To compare different ways to identify monkeys.
D．To explain difficulties in developing a new system.
