Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more than we realize. In fact, non-verbal（非语言）communication takes up about 50% of what we really . And body language is particularly when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. , different societies treat the between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having contact(接触)even with friends, and certainly not with . People from Latin American countries, , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in ,it may look like a Latino is a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep ---which the Latino will in return regard as _.
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people .And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from cultures, there's a strong possibility of . But whatever the situation, the best is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be .

The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ‘‘Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?’’ She nodded. The little boy was still 36 the doll (洋娃娃) in his hand.
I walked toward him, 37 who he wished to give this doll to. “Sister. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring a doll to her.” I told him that maybe Santa Claus would do so. But he replied to me 38 . “No, Santa Claus(圣诞老人) can’t bring it to her 39 she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she 40 there. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, 41 I thought she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.’’
The little boy looked 42 at me, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. I 43 she didn’t have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked 44 at the doll with sad eyes.
I quickly 45 for my wallet. “Let’s check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” “OK. I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to 46 without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and 47 some spare money. “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” He looked at me and 48 , “I wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God 49 too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.”
50 I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, mentioning a drunk man in a truck hit a car 51 by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl 52 right away and the mother was 53 in a critical state.
Two days 54 this encounter (偶然相遇) with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young 55 had passed away.

It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch office on the West Side. I had come to 36 a checking account. The only officer on 37 was a fortyish black man, standing 38 a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I think I was especially 39 of the boy because he looked more like a kid from a prep school than a 40 in a West Side bank.
The boy continued to 41 my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and 42 an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I 43 any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.
“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not 44 to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.
Suddenly I noticed the account had a series of small deposits and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you 45 that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked 46 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very 47 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting 48 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come in here and 49 .” The boy looked destroyed. 50 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.
The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got 51 .” I couldn’t believe what this idiot was saying. “We were 52 this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The other guy was 53 him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was 54 too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n) 55 today."
“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”
“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”

“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very 1 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have 2 it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the 3 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of 4 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid 5 trouble.
I admit that we should keep 6 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your 7 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 8 to make things better.
I used to be a(n) 9 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 10 when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know 11 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher 12 me to go to the blackboard and 13 what I knew. If I had 14 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s 15 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I 16 you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as 17 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know 18 I do can make things better. Everyone is the 19 of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 20 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.

Seven loyal readers came to the Teens’ office two weeks ago. They had a wonderful day learning how to make a newspaper. But what 36 made them excited was that they had their say（发表意见）.
“What most impressed me was 37 I was saying something, I found all eyes were 38 me,” said Tang Shining, one of the students. Her friend, Li Chunbei agreed, and felt very glad that when she was talking, the editors nodded and even 39 notes.
Students were happy to see the editors listen to their 40 . You may often 41 about being neglected (忽略) by teachers and parents. 42 before complaining, please 43 that you have already spoken about your thoughts.
It’s common in China that teachers at school and parents were 44 the ones to tell teenagers what they should and shouldn’t do. The young are 45 to doing what they are told, rather than thinking by themselves. But then their ideas would be locked in their brains and not be 46 .
A girl wrote to Teens about her family 47 . She used to be very sad because her father seldom talked and played with her. After years of consideration, she 48 decided to write her father a letter, telling him about her sadness. To her 49 , the father 50 , saying that he didn’t realize his mistakes. From then on, he really 51 .
Sometimes, we need to let our 52 be heard, so others can understand our thoughts and feelings. Don’t be afraid of being 53 for what you have done. You know it is your 54 to speak your mind. 55 your ideas are denied (否定), at least you have tried your best. You will not be left with any regret.

We all know something about Thomas Edison. He was a great American 21 .He was in school for only a short time. 22 , he had to leave the school and 23 himself at home and learned a lot. When Edison grew up, he had his own lab. He worked hard and hardly 24 to have a rest.
One day a friend of his brought a young man into his lab. He 25 the young man to Edison. He said the young man had studied in a famous university in Germany and had a lot of 26 of physics and maths. Edison was glad to work with a man like him and 27 him as a helper. A few weeks later, the young 28 about Edison’s past. He began to look down on him. Edison 29 about it, but he said 30 .
Once the young man came into the lab while Edison 31 an important experiment. He stood near the table 32 he didn’t help him. Edison stopped 33 out a bottle and said, “Go to calculate (计算)its volume(容积)and tell me the 34 in two hours.”
At first the young man thought it easy to do it. Soon he 35 it difficult. Two hours later Edison went into his office and saw a lot of paper and books on his desk. Of course he couldn’t compute the volume in the time 36 .
“Why not pour some 37 into the bottle?” said Edison. “Then you’ll 38 calculate its volume!” Having heard this, the young man’s 39 turned red, and he knew Edison was really 40 than him!
