A gesture which means one thing in one country may well mean something quite different to those living in another.The ring gesture，where you form. an “O” by holding me tip of your forefinger to the tip of your thumb，means in Britain that you think something is good.Take a trip to France，and you may fail to impress your French host when you use it to tell him your opinion of his new car， for in France it means zero or worthless.Travel further south and you are in even greater trouble，for in Tunisia it means “I’ll kill you!” Similar problems occur on the other side of the Atlantic.Although in the US the ring gesture has the same meaning as in Britain，it is used as an insult in Latin America.Unfortunately former US President Richard Nixon was unaware of this.Landing on a visit to one South American country he came out of the aircraft with both hands held high showing the ring gesture.Having just been told to go to hell by their visitor，his hosts gave the puzzled President a somewhat frosty reception.Had he used the same gesture in Japan，his hosts would have been puzzled，for it means money there.

Try to avoid these misunderstandings by using another gesture to indicate that you think something is good and you may still find yourself in trouble.In Britain and the US the thumbs—up sign is used when you think something is good, but elsewhere，as in Sardinia，it is an insult.In Britain the gesture is also used for hitch—hiking.But if you attempt using it to request a lift from a passing motorist in Greece or Italy，you had better stand well back from the edge of the road.It is quite likely that he will knock you down，for in Greece it is an insult.

Pulling down the lower lid of your eye with one finger is usually used to indicate alertness.In France and Greece it means much the same as“My eye!” in England，meaning “Don’t you think I can see it？”In Spain and Italy it is also related to being alert，but there it is used as a warning：“Keep your eyes open."In South America，it means you think that a woman is “eyeful，”very attractive.

Questions are based on the following passage.

Romantic love has clear evolutionary roots but our views about what makes an ideal romanticrelationship can be swayed by the society we.live in.So says psychologist Maureen O'Sullivan from theUniversity of San Francisco.She suggests that humans have always tried to strengthen the pair-bond tomaximise (使最大化) reproductive success.Many societies throughout history and around the world today have cultivated strong pressures tostay married.In those where ties to family and commtmity are strong, lifelong marriages can bepromoted by practices such as the cultural prohibition of divorce and arranged marriages that are seenas a contract between two families, not just two individuals.In modern western societies, however, thefocus on ndividuality and independence means that people are less concerned about conforming to (遵守 ) the dictates of family and culture.In the absence of societal pressures to maintain pair-bonds,O'Sullivan suggests that romantic love has increasingly come to be seen as the factor that shoulddetermine who we stay with and for how long."That's why historically we see an increase in romantic love as a basis for forming long-term relationships," she says.According to O'Sullivan culture also shapes the sorts of feelings we expect to have, and actually doexperience, when in love.Although the negative emotions associated with romantic love-fear of loss,disappointment and jealousy-are fairly consistent across cultures, the positive feelings can vary. "If youask Japanese students to list the positive attributes they expect in a romantic partner, they rate highlythings like loyalty, commitment and devotion," says O'Sullivan. "If you ask American college women,they expect everything under the sun: in addition to being committed, partners have to be amusing,funny and a friend."We judge a potential partner according to our specific cultural expectations about what romanticlove should feel like.If you believe that you have found true romance, and your culture tells you thatthis is what a long-term relationship should be based on, there is less need to rely on social or familypressures to keep couples together, O'Sullivan argues.

What does the author say about people's views of an ideal romantic relationship？

A.They vary from culture to culture.

B.They ensure the reproductive success.

C.They reflect the evolutionary process.

D.They are influenced by psychologists.
