We are always using body language in our daily life．When we have a conversation with someone，we may be using more body language than words．However，the same body language may mean different things in different countries．That’s why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly．Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures．
For example，in the U．S．A．people point to their heads when they think someone is clever．However，in Europe it means“He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head．”
In our Chinese culture，nodding our head up and down means“yes”and shaking our head from side to side means“no”．However，in parts of India，Greece and Turkey，it means just the opposite．
In England or the U．S．A．，when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb(拇指)and the second finger，it means“You’re all right or everything is OK．”However，if we do this in France or Belgium，it means“You’re worth zero．”In Greece or Turkey，we should not make this gesture，or we will be thought to be very rude．
The meaning of gestures can also change over time．In the 1960s，the V sign meant“peace”．However，during World War Ⅱ，it meant“victory”．In Greece，it is a very insulting (污辱性)sign．
Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning all over the world, such as smiling and crying．   
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容．用簡潔的句子或短語完成下列表格。

  Many people go to school for a good education. They learn languages ,history, maths and other subjects. School education is very important and useful, yet no one can learn everything from school. No matter how much a teacher knows, he can’t teach his students everything they want to know. His work is to show his students how to learn.He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite easy to learn something in language or formula (公式 )in maths, but it is difficult to use a formula to find the answer to a maths problem. Great inventors do not get everything from school, but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. Though Thomas Edison invented many things, he didn’t have much school education. How do they do all this ? A lot of things are not taught in the classroom. They get knowledge( 知識 ) from books outside school. They work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their heads.
