阅读短文简答下列各题（不许照抄原文）

Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It does not have the same meaning as our “No”. If someone wants to visit India he should know this or it will give him some trouble.

One day a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to his officer the driver shook his head at once. The office repeated his order and the driver shook his head again. At last the officer of course got angry.

“How dare you refuse my order?” he shouted. “Drive me to my office immediately!”

The driver answered in a very loud voice too. “Yes sir”.

But to the officer’s surprise the driver shook his head at the same time.

The car started and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while and then nodded with a smile “No means yes here!”
