Para1 Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.

Unit 1 Women of achievementReadingA STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa.Following Jane’s way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity ofthe day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree thenight before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family beings towake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warnsus that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right.However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Them we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. Werealize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as long as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to helpher for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed theway people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts.She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.Four forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set upOnce I special places where they can li v e safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: “stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It’s terrible. I t affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, ‘Aren’t they luck?’ And then Ithink about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have”seen that you can never forget…She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their ownive in the forest as men environment, gaining a doctor’s degree and showing that women can lcan. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievement of women.Using languageWHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORD?I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose tostudy at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at thecomputer to do some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist inwomen’s diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy inher chosen career, traveling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One ofthem caught my eye. I was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from havingand caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean,healthy and free from sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that LinQiaozhi thought needed this advice？I looked carefully at the text and realized that it wasintended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could notreach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time.That was a generation when girl’s education was always placed second to boys’.Was she somuch cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work anddetermination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made hersucceed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. Therewas story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day’s work, went late at night to deliv a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi haddevoted her whold life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own.Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I wasvery excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work?It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entranceexaminations, and…Unit 2 Working the landA PILNEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China’s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself afarmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and hisslim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he hasstruggled for the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybridrice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rich that has ahigh output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of thecrop in the same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is fromthis hybrid strain.Born in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Sincethen, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw thegreat need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem inmany parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests withoutexpanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty milliontons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice wasproduced. These increased harvests mean that 22% fo the world’s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnamand many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to hisresearch, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybridrice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn’t care about being famous.He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time forhis hobbies. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading.Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him.Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles.He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream aboutrice plants as tall as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing akind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has anotherdream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not alwaysenough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.Using LanguageCHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FARMING?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming.Many farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production.Recently, however, scientists have been finding that long-term use of these fertilizers cancause damage to the land and, even more dangerous, to people’s health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage theland by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals alsostay in the ground and underground water for a ling time. This affects crops and, therefore,animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be washed off.ime. Many of theseThese chemicals in the food supply build up in people’s bodies over tchemicals can lead to cancer or other illnesses. In addition, fruit, vegetables and other foodgrown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They maylook beautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals.With these discoveries, some farmers and many customers are beginning to turn to organicfarming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus onkeeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps cropsgrow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals andso more fertile. This also keeps the air, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile. They often changethe kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and thenthe next year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soybeans put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops to use different levels of soil, for example, planting peanutsthat use the ground’s surface followed by vegetables that put down deep roots.Someorganic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carryingaway the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the nextyear’s crop. These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: to growngood food and avoid damaging the environment or people’s health.Unit 3 A state of English humourReadingA MSTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs Victor Hugo once said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightenedthe lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between.He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more contentwith their lives.Not that Charlie’s own life was easy!He was born in a poor family in 1889. his parents were both poor music hall performers. You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taughtto sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially when the family income was oftenuncertain. Unfortunately, his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spenthis childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had,through his humour, become one of the most popular child actors in English. He couldmime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watchinghim— his subtle acting made everything entertaining.As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as hischarming character, the little tramp, became known throughout the world. The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat. He walked around stiffly carrying a walking stick. This character was a social failurebut was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties. He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from oneof his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in California. Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry thatthey try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. I he eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that itis one of the best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in English and the USAbut spent his last years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.Using languageENGLISH JOKESOne person asks1. There are thousands of jokes which use “play on words” to amuse us.a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is another kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1. C: What’s that fly doing in my soup?W: Swimming, I think!2. C: What’s that?W: It’s bean soup.I want to know what it is now.C: I don’t want to know what it’s been.3. C: Waiter, will the pancakes be long?W: No, sir. Round.ExplanationA The first person is asking for information about time. The second person treats it as a question about shape.B The first person is angry about something and wants to say, “Why is this here?” The second person treats it as a request for information and gives an answer to the question.C The answer to the question contains a word which, when spoken, can have twomeanings.2. Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokesabout the famous detective Sherlock Homes and his friend Doctor Watson. Read it anddecide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reasons.Sherlock Homes and Doctor Watson went camping in an mountainous area. They warelying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Homes looked up at the stars and whispered,“Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you think of?” Watson replied,of how short life is and how long the universe has lasted.”“No, no, Watson!” HomeWatson tried again. “I think of how small I am and how“what do you really think of?” Said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. “I“Try again, Watson! ” vast the sky is.” Holmes said,think of how cold the universe is and how warm people can be in their beds.” “Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that someone has stolen our tent! ”Unit 4 Body LanguageReadingCOMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university’s student association, wentThey werethe Capital International Airport to meet this year’s international students.coming to study at Beijing University. We would taken them first to their dormitories andthen to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I sawseveral young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood fro a minutewatching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by JuliaSmith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was verysurprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! Shestepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that therewas probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling,together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached hishand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akria bowed so his noseanother cultural mistake!touched George’s moving hand.They both apologized—Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yesterday, hemoved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer toask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashingthrough the door, she recognized Tony Garcia’s smiling face.They shook hand and thenkissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meetpeople they know. Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men fromMiddle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talkbut will usually not touch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural “bod language”. Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in thesame way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that peoplecommunicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using unspoken“language” through physical distance, actions or posture.English people, for example, donot usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However,people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely andare more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other byshaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who preferto bow.These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed.I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general—not allmembers of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying internationalcustoms can certainly help avoid difficulties in today’s world of cultural crossroads!Using LanguageSHOWING OUR FEELINGSBody language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even morepowerful than spoken spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings,wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to “read” others aroundus, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course,body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.The most university facial expression is, of course, the smile— its function is to showhappiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however.Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. ThereHowev er, theare unhappy smiles, such as when someone “loses face” and smiles to hide it.general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most placesMaking a fistaround the world, frowning and turning one’s back to someone shows anger.and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry and threatening anther person.There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up anddown is used for agreement almost worldwide. Most people also understand that shakingthe head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in mostcases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyesand turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probablynot a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usuallygood to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance with openhands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities inbody language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!Unit 5 Theme parksReadingTHEME PARKES—FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhich theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of theme parks, with adifferent park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies or history.Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showingthe famous sights and sounds of a culture. Whichever and whatever you like, there is atheme park for you!The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland. It can be found inseveral parts of the world. It will bring you into a magical world and make your dreamscome true, whether you are traveling through space, visiting a pirate ship or meeting, yourfavourite fairly tale or Disney cartoon character. As you wander around the fantasyamusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or on the street.Of course Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from giant swinging ships to terrifyingfree-fall drops. With all these attractions, no wonder tourism is increasing wherever there isa Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland！Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeastern USA, is one of the mostunique theme parks in the world. Dollywood shows and celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture. Although Dollywood has rides, the park’s main attraction is its culture. Famous country music groups perform there all year in indoor and outdoor theatres. Peoplecome form all over America to see carpenters and other craftsmen make wood, glass and ironobjects in the old-fashioned way. Visit the candy shop to try the same kind of candy thatAmerican southerners made 150 years ago, or take a ride on the only steam-engine train stillworking in the southeast USA.

Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash inthe jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to seestrange blind creature that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some carracing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended mytravels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived theexperience!I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of thelargest space-age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park inFrance uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screensprovide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts ofthe world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through thejungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date informationtogether with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in acompletely new way for visitors. Learning centers throughout the park let visitors try theirown scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world andmuch more.I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park’s entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of funand learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know theirplans in advance can get the group admission rate. For anyone coming from out of town,Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearly, most of which provide a shuttle service to thepark. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip wellbefore starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops thatit is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot— be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!。
