When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”,and we shake our heads when we want to say “no”.When you wave to a friend, you are using body language. When you smile at someone you mean to be friendly. When you put one finger in front of your mouth, you mean “be quiet”.
Yet, people in different countries may use different body languages.
An Englishman was in Italy. He could speak little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt hungry and went into a restaurant. When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips. In this way, he meant to say, “Bring me something to eat”.But the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink, first tea, then coffee then milk, but no food.
The Englishman was sorry that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry.He was ready to leave the restaurant when another man came in.The man put his hands on his stomach, and this body language was good enough for the waiter. In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.
Finally the Englishman had his meal in the same way.
11.If you want someone to be quiet, you can________.
A.wave your hands B.smile to him
C.talk to him loudly D.put one finger in front of your mouth
答案:D
12.How many persons are mentioned in this story?
A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5.
答案:B
13.Why did the Englishman use his body language?

答案:B
14.What did the Englishman want?

Mrs. Smith is an unusual teacher. Once she told each student to bring along a few potatoes in plastic bag. On each potato the students had to write a name of a person that they hated. And the next day, every child brought some potatoes. Some had two potatoes; some three; some up to five.
Mrs. Smith then told the children to carry the bags everywhere they went, even to the toilet, for two weeks. As day after day passed, the children started to complain(抱怨) about the awful smell of the rotten(腐烂的) potatoes.
Those children who brought five potatoes began to feel the weight trouble of the bags. After two weeks, the children were happy to hear that the game was finally ended. Mrs. Smith asked, “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes for two weeks?” The children started complaining about the trouble loudly.

The terrible smell of the hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry something unnecessary with you all the time. If you cannot stand the smell of the rotten potatoes for just two weeks, can you imagine how heavy it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your life time?
