Which of the following is TRUE?

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting， but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible， even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia， an island in the Pacific， Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked， “Do you have cold drinks? The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her： She had raised her eyebrows(眉头)， which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria， a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter， “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited， but the cabbage never came. In that country， a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class， he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood， so he explained again. When he asked again， they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India， people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.
These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they      .

People in Micronesia show “yes” by      .

Tom misunderstood his class at first because      .

Which of the following is TRUE according to(根据) this passage?

The passage is mainly about       .

The world is not hungry ， but it is thirsty . It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地) . Man can only drink and use the 3% - the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that， because some of it has been polluted (污染) .
Now more water is needed. The problem is： Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First， we should all learn how to save water. Secondly， we should find out the ways to reuse it . Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today， in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers . But it can be used again. Even if (即使) every large city reused its water， still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?
The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive， but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see， if we can find a way out， we'll be in no danger of drying up.
The world is thirsty because ________.

Which of the following is true ?

From the passage we learn _________.

To avoid the serious water shortage ， which of the following is the most important?

The name of the passage would be ________
