When you wave (挥手) to a friend, you are us-ing sign language. When you smile at someone, you mean to be 1 . When you put one finger (手指) in front of your 2 , you mean "Be quiet."
Yet, people in different countries may use dif-ferent sign languages.

When the waiter came, the English-man 5 his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips (嘴唇). In this way, he 6 to say, "Bring me something to eat." But the waiter brought him a lot of things to 7 . First tea, then coffee, then milk, but no food. The Englishman was 8 that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry. He was 9 to leave the restaurant when another man came in and put his hands on his stomach (肚子). And this sign was 10 enough for the waiter. In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat. At last the Englishman had his meal in the same way.
