A

If someone says to you: “give me five”, do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person's not asking for your money, but your fingers.

In the US, \"give me five\" or \"give me the high five\" is a popular gesture (动作). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the slapping (拍) of each other's raised (举起的) right hands together.

People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票).If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.

This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor(皇帝). This showed that the person raising his arm did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.

Why not try to give the high five to your friends? 31. “Give me five” is a gesture to _______. A. make people laugh

You see, in America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch(沙发) watching TV. As there are many channels to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive(上瘾的).

Xiao Ming’s Busy Day

Last Sunday/Saturday, Xiao Ming had a very busy day. Early in the morning, his father told him to get up to read English. After that, he had to practise playing the piano. His mother stood behind him and made him play again and again. In the afternoon, his father took him to an art school. There he learned how to paint. The whole day, Xiao Ming had no time to have a rest. He was so tired that he fell ill in the evening/during the night. He was taken to hospital by his parents. What a poor boy! In my opinion, Chinese parents are too strict with their children. They expect their children to become successful in the future. The children are too busy learning all kinds of things all day. I think it’s harmful to them.
