Shaking hands is a polite gesture indicating friendship and acceptance. At one time, however, meeting with a stranger aroused suspicion and fear. To prevent each other from suddenly attacking, strangers joined right hands as a pledge of non-aggression, thus demonstrating that neither party was about to use a weapon. Handshaking is now the activity practised by both men and women not only to greet one another, but to seal a contract as well.
Cover bad breath
The American “OK” sign, the joining of the thumb and forefinger in a circle, indicates that all is well or perfect. The “OK” sign acquired its modern connotation from the ancient world, wherein the circle itself was one of the oldest and most common symbols for perfection. The verbal expression “OK” is native to the United States and was formed in support of the letter “O” indicating that something was as perfect as a circle.
Show that you are wrong
When not used in hitchhiking, the thumbs-up gesture in American culture typically indicates “I like that”, while the thumbs-down gesture indicates your negative feelings towards something. The gesture has been linked to the time of the Roman arena, where the emperor supposedly ordered life or death for a gladiator by turning thumbs up or thumbs down.
Show that everything is fine
Crossing one’s fingers serves as protection from bad luck or from the penalties associated with lying. Thus, when people wish for good luck, they cross their fingers, and when they wish not to be held accountable for a lie, they cross their fingers and hide their arms behind their backs to not let on that they are lying.
Indicate approval or disapproval
By sticking out their tongues, people react to situations that may be unpleasant for them. Such displays indicate laughing or rejection. For example, children often stick out their tongues to tease each other. Or, they may also stick out their tongues in reaction to activities requiring close concentration; hence, the tongue-showing of children focused on their homework.
Making fun or just being focused
Indicating a feeling of helplessness
Guard against negative consequences
Demonstrate your peaceful intentions

Read the article below about floating houses and answer the questions. Choose the best answer.
Can you imagine waking up each day in a house that is gently rocked by the movement of water, having a water park as a garden and getting to work by water taxi? Well, for some people this vision of the future may become a reality. It is a commonly accepted fact that as the Earth’s temperature rises, the ice caps at the North and South Poles will melt, causing the sea level to rise.
So, where does this leave the many countries in the world which have large sections of their populations living in areas which lie at or below sea level? The Netherlands, for example, is one of the most highly populated, low-lying countries in the world and has been battling with the problem of flooding for years. Further rises in the sea level would mean much of the country will disappear under water.
Inventive architects may have come up with a solution to the problem: a floating house actually built on the water. The basic idea is that houses will have a base filled with air and a way of anchoring them to the ground. This will allow the houses to float upwards whenever the sea level rises and sink back down when the sea level drops. So, are floating houses the homes of the future? For some people there may be no alternative; for others it will be through choice. After all, who says you have to live on dry land anyway?
Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
