ball-kicking game in China, was reported as early as 2,500 B.C. Around the same time in Greece, people

countries were set up. They came together-to make up the FIFA, which organizes the World Cup.

makes it a sport that developing countries can easily play. Some of the sport' s best players come from these
poor nations.

     (1) Although we may not realize it, when we talk with others we   make ourselves understood not 
just by words. 
 We send messages to the   people around us also by body movements. A smile and 
handshake(握手)show welcome.  Waving one's hand is to say "Goodbye".  Nodding   the head  
means agreement, while shaking it means disagreement. In China and some English-speaking countries,
 these body movements have the same meanings.       
     But not all body languages mean the same things in different countries.  For example,  nodding the head in some Asian countries means not "Yes" but "No".       
     When we speak a foreign language,  (2) to know the meanings of the body movements is important 
in the foreign countries.
  In Russia, France and some of South American countries men kiss (吻) each 
other when they meet.  Men don't kiss each other in China or English-speaking countries. In England, 
older people usually shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. However, young people 
don't shake hands.  (3) In France, people shake hands in the office every morning.  French people kiss
 each other more often than English people when they meet or leave.
1. 将(1)处译成汉语。
    ______________________________________________________
2. 将(2)处改写句子,句意不变。
    ______________________________________________________
3. 将(3)处改为被动语态。
    ______________________________________________________
4. Do all body languages mean the same things in different countries?
    ______________________________________________________
5. Who kiss each other more often when they meet or leave, French people or English people?
    ______________________________________________________
