People in different countries speak different languages． But is there a language that can be understood by everyone in the world？ If there is， the answer might be EMOJIS（表情符号）．
Emojis are a kind of special language． Pictures are used to put meaning across． A group called the Unicode Consortium works on choosing emojis． Ithas added new emojis every year since 2014． They show what people think about and like．
Emojis can be used to represent（代表） different groups of people． In 2015， emoji faces with different skin tones（肤色） were added． In 2016， different jobs were added ， such as doctor， police officer and painter． This year， emojis of disabled people were added including emojis of blind people and people in wheelchairs．
But there is also more to emojis． They can also refer to（指的是） pop culture and new cultural trends（潮流）．
New emojis in 2019 also include several animals， such as sloths（树懒） and flamingos（火烈鸟）． These animals are not very common， but are known to many people． For example， sloths have become popular because of the 2016 film Zootopia（《疯狂动物城》）． Many fashion designers（设计师） have included flamingos in their designs in recent years． This animal makes people feel like they're on a vacation．
It seems that emojis are a mirror of the world we live in． It will be interesting to see how they change and grow in the years to come．

I walked into a stranger as he passed by me．
"Excuse me．" I said．
He replied with a smile and said， "Please excuse me， too． I didn't notice you．"
We apologized（道歉） and went for our own ways．
Later that day， when I was cooking， my daughter was standing too near． When I turned to reach for some milk， I nearly knocked her over． "Move out of the way!" I shouted．

Many cars in advertisements are red， blue or green ﹣ but almost 75 percent of new cars sold are black， white， silver or grey．
A survey shows people prefer the car colors that don't show dirt such as grey． That means the owners can wash their cars less， saving money． Besides， some areas that are short of water do not allow people to wash their cars often．
According to another survey， white cars are often sold more than cars of other colors． In China， car buyers say white makes a small car look bigger． Car buyers in other countries also like white． And the research also suggests that there is a lower risk of accidents during the day for white cars compared with darker ones． People also think the temperature inside white cars is lower than that in cars of other colors．
