問題詳情：

It is important to know another language and how to communicate without words when you are in another country. Before saying anything, people communicate with each other by using gestures（手勢）. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.

In the United States, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some pats of Greece and Turkey, it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.

Today in the USA, when someone puts his thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Greece it is bad. Also putting your clasped（緊握的）hands up above your head means “I am the winner.” It is the sign which players often make. In Russia it is the sign of friendship.
