根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation (违反) of good manners.
The word “taboo” comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. 　 1.　 They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.
Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to one’s manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume (音量) of one’s voice may annoy people. 　 2.　
　 3. For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact. In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others. 　 4.　 In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.
Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries. 　 5.　 Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or ‘talking with your hands’, is considered unsuitable.
Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.
A. Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.
B. In Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.
C. In spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.
D. Cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.
E. Learn a country’s customs so that you don’t hurt the local people unconsciously.
F. They might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.
G. If a person avoids eye contact, others might think he is being dishonest or unconfident.

We have a strange and strong belief in the idea of perfection. Driven by our culture, we struggle for an unattainable ideal: If I have the perfect parents, perfect grades, perfect…, then I would be happy. We seek what we can’t have without remembering that we don’t actually need to be perfect. Imperfection allows us to be human.
Parents, teachers and other high-achieving peers will have us believe that we must be perfect if we wish to remain competitive. However, what job or school requires you to develop a cure for some form of cancer by the age of 18? Although these grades would be admirable achievements, are they worth losing sleep over? We feel like we need the perfect grades to get into the perfect college that will provide us with the perfect education necessary to obtain the perfect job. Making use of our thirst for perfection, the whole college and career industries have emerged claiming to help us reach our goals.
Truth is, you only need to be good enough to get into the conversation. It is what you do afterwards that sets you apart. Focus more on your passions. Don’t worry about anything secondary to your passions. You don’t become an expert at anything if you spent your time trying to succeed in everything you do. You only become an expert when you devote your time to that one project that truly brings you joy.
As members of this society, we have a responsibility to be excellent in what we do, not perfect. Although perfection can be a goal, it should not be the only goal. We only have 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week. Thus, we need to plan what we want to do and cut out the activities we cannot do.
With everything, though, make sure you’re doing enough. Pursuing your passions is not enough of a reason to completely give up on everything else. Try as hard as you can and let your future worry about itself. Worry about your task at hand and you will be successful in achieving your dreams. Most of all, remember that you’re going to be okay.
1.It is implied in Paragraph 1 that there is a culture where ________.
A. Students are driven to learn concepts
B. great importance is attached to perfection
C. imperfect people aren’t happy at all
D. perfect grades result from remembering facts
2.We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.
A. a perfect grade is worth losing sleep over
B. the whole college and career industries are perfect
C. some schools ask students to invent some medicine
D. someone is profiting from our search for perfection
3.According to the author, we should ________.
A. see becoming perfect as our responsibility
B. deal with what we hope to do first
C. set a goal of perfection in our life
D. worry about our future dreams
4.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. How to be perfect
B. Being enough is enough
C. Finding your own passions
D. Giving up your secondary goals
