A
The palm - forward (掌心向外) "V" sign, formed by raising and spreading the wrist two fingers, has three different meanings in American culture.
The most popular meaning of the "V" sign was invented in 1941 by a Belgian, Victor De Lavalaye. Wanting a symbol for resistance to the Nazi occupation, he came up with the single letter "V", which stood not only for his own first name, but also for English victory, Flemish virijheid, and French victoire. The symbolism of the sign spread very quickly, and Winston Churchill used it constantly in public appearance. Thus throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the gesture meant simply" victory " .
The second meaning came in the 1960s. Because of its military implication, American antiwar protestors used the sign sarcastically (讽刺地) against the arms, so that it became known as the "peace sign". In the 1970s, the "W' sign, which had lost its military implication, was a common greeting among freedom lovers , acid heads, political radicals, and ultimately, young people in general. So by about the middle of the 1970s, it no longer gave clue to the user's philosophy.
The third meaning is the oldest and least common. American children jokingly put " V" , which resembles "horns", behind friends-heads in group snapshot. They are unknowingly reproducing something that southern Europeans would find highly offensive. This mischief, called "horns of the Devil", is a variant of the European "horns" gesture, which is obscene （猥亵的). Here the "w' sign means "Your wife has been cheating on you or, when placed behind another's head, his wife has been cheating on him. "
In the United States, the gesture is typically given with the palm facing the viewer. The British use both this version and an older, palm - backward version ; the latter is obscene in American culture, and corresponds to the American "finger". Churchill got some surprised stares in 1941 when, evidently unaware of the mean usage, he gave the palm - backward "V" to British troops. In England today you could have to be a social hermit not to understand the distinction. Astonishingly, however, Margaret Thatcher repeated Churchill's error after her victory in the 1979 election.
1、What's the most popular meaning of the "V" sign?
A．Victory, B．Peace.
C．Cheat. D．Freedom.
2、Why did Churchill get some surprised stares according to the last paragraph?
A．He was proud of his troops.
B．He had wanted to be a hermit.
C．He wasn't insensible of the mean usage of the "V" sign.
D．He wanted to show congratulations to British troops.
3、What can be learned from the text?
A．The "V" sign simply means victory since 1941.
B．The "V" sign meaning peace was invented by a Belgian.
C．Thatcher made the same error as Churchill after her successful election.
D．American antiwar protestors used the sign to greet among freedom lovers.
4、What can we conclude from the passage?
A．It's never too old to learn.
B．Think well before you speak.
C．Actions speak louder than words.
D．Try to know culture diversity fully and regionally.
