A view f cuntless vineyards (葡萄园) and hills with hmes that have been arund fr centuries is just ne example f what yu can see in Italy.
Frm the high fashin f Milan in the nrth and the galleries in Flrence t ancient ruins (遗迹) in Rme and the beautiful islands f Crsica and Sardinia, Italy is a cuntry with rich culture.

We use bth wrds and bdy language t express ur thughts and pinins and t cmmunicate with ther peple. We can learn abut what a persn is thinking by watching his r her bdy language. Wrds are imprtant but the way a persn stands r mves his r her hands can als give us infrmatin abut his r her feelings. A persn frwns (皱眉) when he is angry r in truble. Parents pat their children’s heads t shw their lve. Sme players like t thrw their arms frward, as if they’re flying, after they scre. Yu can see bdy language here and there. Bdy language des nt use wrds. It is cmmunicatin with the mvement r psitin f yur bdy. A hand gesture, a big smile, and a shaking leg these are all examples f bdy language.
Accrding t the research made by American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a cnversatin between tw peple, 65 percent f cmmunicatin is bdy language. Fr example, a friend asks yu t g n a picnic with him; yu give him an “OK” gesture t say, “Yes, sunds gd!” Smetimes, yur wrds say ne thing but yur bdy language says anther. Yu may tuch yur face uncnsciusly while telling a lie.
In different cultures, the same bdy language may mean different things. In the US, eye cntact during a cnversatin shws yu are interested in what the ther persn is saying. But in sme Asian cuntries, it is rude t lk straight at a persn when yu are talking t him r her. Peple in sme cuntries use different bdy language t shw the same meaning. In France, peple kiss cheeks t say hell. The Japanese prefer t bw when greeting.
Perhaps the best example f a cmmnly understd bdy language is the smile. A smile can pen drs and tear dwn walls. It can be used t express almst any feeling. We can use a smile t ask fr help r t start a cnversatin. We can smile at urselves in the mirrr t make urselves feel happier and strnger. And if we are feeling dwn r lnely, there is nthing better than t see the smiling face f a gd friend.
根据上面短文内容填空（每空不限一词）。
73. Bdy language is cmmunicatin with the mvement r psitin f yur bdy_________ using wrds. It can_________ everywhere.

75. If a player thrws arms frward like flying after_________, he may get very excited. If yur friend gives an “OK” gesture, that means he_________ yu.
76. The same bdy language may have__________________ in different cuntries. In America, making eye cntact may shw yur_________ thers’ wrds, while it’s rude in sme Asian cuntries.
