分析 【文章大意】这篇文章说的是有关手语的问题，手语的应用非常广泛，但不同的国家手语所表达的含义时不同的，文章就用一个英国人在意大利遇到的情况说明了这个问题．

解答 71  Three．/3 细节理解题．根据文章第三、四段可知：这篇文章讲述的是一个英国人到意大利餐馆吃饭但是不太懂意大利语，所以用手语，但是服务员不太明白，后面他看到另一个人用手指着肚子，这时服务员明白了，所以这个英国人就学着另一个人的样子．所以文中提到了三个人．故填Three．/3
72  Be quiet．细节理解题．根据文章：When you put one finger in front of your mouth，you mean"be quiet．"可知把一只手指放在嘴的前面是保持安静的意思．故填Be quiet．
73  Because he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry． 细节理解题．根据文章：The Englishman was sorry that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry．可知他很难过是因为他不能告诉服务员他饿了．故填Because he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry．
74 Yes，he did．细节理解题．根据文章：In a few minu tes，the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat．Finally the Englishman had his meal in the same way．可知他最后吃饭了．故填Yes，he did．
75  Smile at someone．细节理解题．根据文章：When you smile at someone you mean to be friendly．可知当你朝某人笑的时候，显示出你很友好．故填Smile at someone．
