本篇阅读主要考察对文章细节的把握，做题时一定要认真，同时注意在文章中找到支持自己选项的证据，切忌猜想。

If someone says to you: “give me five”, do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person's not asking for your money, but your fingers.

In the US, "give me five" or "give me the high five" is a popular gesture (动作). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the clapping (拍) of each other's raised (举起的) right hands together.

People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票).If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.

This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor(皇帝). This showed that the person raising his arm did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.

【翻译】

如果有人对你说：“give me five”，不要去翻口袋找5块钱!这会逗别人笑!说话的人并不是问你要钱，而是你的手指。

在美国，“give me five”或“give me the high five”是一种流行的手势(动作)。你经常会在电影或电视里可以看到这个手势。它是指两个人用举起的右手互相击掌。

当人们初次见面或有什么开心的事发生时，他们都会做出这个手势，比如，学生考试考得好，或彩票中奖。如果一支足球队赢得了比赛，球员们就会与周围的人都击掌庆祝。

这个手势可能起源于古罗马人对着皇帝提高右臂的这一动作。这表示提高右臂的人手中没有刀剑。

为什么不试着对你的朋友做出这个击掌狂欢的动作呢?

词语解释：

high five n. 举手击掌(表示狂喜或庆祝胜利)
