?Every day millions of letters go from one country to another. Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan. ?Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa. ?On the letters are many different kinds of stamps, bought in different countries.

The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible. It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters, postcards and small packages. It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates.

One hundred years ago, international mail did not move so smoothly. One country did not always accept letters from another country. Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries. Letters traveled by many different routes. Some were lost along the way.

Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage. The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest.

The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the?questions of international mail. In 1974, men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to?form the Universal Postal Union. Today, more than 120 nations belong to this union. ?From its?office in Switzerland, the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world.

Perhaps Professor Ray Birdwhistell suggested the most famous ?theory, ?the study of ?body movement. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. ?In other words, we learn our looks --we?are not born with them.

A baby has generally informed face features. A baby according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around - family and friends. This helps explain why people of some areas of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics. The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas.

In the Untied States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State even less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.

?

A. has little to do with culture B. has much to do with culture

A. before birth B. as soon as one's teeth are newly set

C. sometime after new teeth are set ???????????D. around 15 years old
68. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the U.S. a person is from by .

A. how much he or she laughs

B. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows

C. what he or she likes best

D. the way he or she talks
