Living in a foreign country can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".
On her first day in Micronesia, a country in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, "Do you have cold drinks?" The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learnt that the woman had answered her: she had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means "no".
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some students had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where people are from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
在国外生活可能会很令人兴奋，但也可能会让人困惑。一群在其他国家教英语的美国人最近讨论了他们的经历。他们认为，即使是在像“是”和“否”这样简单的事情上，沟通误解也总是有可能发生的。
莉萨在太平洋上的密克罗尼西亚的第一天，她觉得人们根本没注意她。那天很热，她走进一家商店问道：“你们有冷饮吗？”那里的女人什么也没说。莉萨重复了这个问题，那个女人还是什么都没说。后来她才知道那个女人已经回答她了：她扬起了眉毛，在密克罗尼西亚，扬起眉毛就意味着“是”。
简记得她在欧洲的保加利亚有过一次经历。她去了一家以卷心菜闻名的餐馆。她问服务员：“你们今天有卷心菜吗？”他点了点头。简等啊等，但卷心菜一直没上来。在那个国家，点头意味着“不”。
汤姆到达印度时也遇到了类似的问题。在课堂上解释了一些内容后，他问他的学生们是否理解了。学生们用许多不同的点头和摇头来回答。他以为有些学生没听懂，所以又解释了一遍。当他再次询问时，学生们还是做了同样的动作。他很快发现他的学生们其实是听懂了的。在印度，人们点头和摇头的方式因他们来自哪里而有所不同。你必须知道人们来自哪里，才能明白他们说的是“是”还是“否”。
（D）1. 在其他国家教英语的美国人发现他们______。
A. 应该出国度假
B. 需要学习外语
