二、文化風俗類

When you go to the US, someone often says to you "Give me five". What should you do? Don't give five dollars from your pocket! It will make others laugh! The person is not asking for your money, but your fingers.

In the US，“Give me five” or “Give me high five” is a hot gesture（手勢）. You can see it in films or on TV. It means hitting each other's right hands together. People do it when they meet for the first time or some happy things happen. For example，a student has good marks in exam. If a football team wins a game，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 king. This showed the person raising his arm didn't have a sword（劍）in his hand.

Why not try to give the high five to your friends?

(　　) You need to use your__________to make the gesture "Give me five"?
