Every day, in hundreds of ordinary situations, actions speak far louder than words. We talk with our mouth, but we communicate with our facial expressions, our tone of voice and our whole body.

1. When we can read what others are saying unconsciously, we can deal with things---- at work and at home before they become problems.

By understanding how to use body language, you can communicate more effectively. Here is how:

2. Throughout the day, notice details about the way you speak, gesture and move. When standing, keep your shoulders straight, your body open and your weight balanced on both feet.

Work on your handshake. 3. The handshake most likely to show confidence is firm and dry with strong but not too much pressure.

Use eye contact. Eye contact is very important in forming an impression of someone. You should have the ability to keep direct eye contact if you want to be taken seriously. But some people feel uncomfortable when it is too strong. 4.

Be yourself. Nonverbal(非言语的) messages come from deep inside you, from you own sense of self-respect. If you are comfortable with yourself, they show. 5. They always give others a deep impression.

A. Use hand gestures carefully.

B. Pay attention to your body-talk.

C. A mirror can be useful to examine facial expressions.

D. People who know who they are have a relaxing way of talking and moving.

To Whom It May Concern,

My husband Jim and I got married in 1965. For the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then about four years ago, our youngest child went to school, and I thought I might go back to work.

Jim was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He started to do all the things I used to do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relation firm. At first, my husband was proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”

But, as his joking words were becoming reality, Jim stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, Jim can do things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is unhappy.

We fought about little things, and Jim is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.

I love Jim very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior(较差的), but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

Please help.

Yours,

Mary

Five Things Ambitious People Never Say

◆“I can’t do this—it’s too hard.”

Ambitious people never limit themselves or undervalue hard work with these words. 1. .

◆“I’m not good enough.”

Ambitious people never say they are not good enough. Saying you are not good enough holds you back and makes you easy to quit when things get a little rough. And quitting when things get a little rough is never a good thing. The most successful people in the world are not quitters. 2. Be confident and believe in yourself, or no one else will.

◆“I won’t make it through the obstacles(障碍).”

Challenges and obstacles are tests of your resolve(决心) and desire to succeed. 3. They say they will make it because they know better things lie ahead-the sun always shines after the storm.

4.

The only time people won’t take you seriously is if you don’t take yourself seriously. Insisting that people won’t take you seriously is an excuse not to do what you know you should do. Ambitious people never say these words. Start respecting yourself and honoring what you do and people will respect and take you seriously.

◆“I’m going to fail for sure.”

5. It can teach you valuable lessons and redirect you to the right path. Ambitious people don’t say they are going to fail and let that stop them from trying. They challenge the fear of failure by taking calculated risks(甘冒风险) because they know the only time you are truly defeated is when you don’t try at all.

We're always looking for well?written reviews of books, music, movies, television shows, websites, video games and other products. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn't like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses,be descriptive and provide background information on an author,director,actor or musician,if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topics,but be sure to express your own voice in your review.

Grammar Hint for Reviews:When describing a book,movie, album or anything else,use the present tense.

Book Reviews

Discuss an author's technique,strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place?Did you stay up until dawn to finish it?Is it good reading for teenagers?What influence did it have on you and why?If you've read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.

Movie Reviews

Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn't? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.

Remember that a well?written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don't give away an exciting scene or the ending!

College Reviews

Begin by providing an overview of the college,including location,size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit.

A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭) and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’s the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more) -- only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?

This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

1.Why does the lion tamer use a chair?

A. To trick the lion.

B. To show off his skills.

C. To get ready for a fight.

D. To entertain the audience.

2.In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?

A. They feel puzzled over choices.

B. They hold on to the wrong things.

C. They find it hard to make changes.

D. They have to do something for show.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. Positive. B. Doubtful.

C. Respectful. D. Supportive.

4.When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to _______.

A. wait for a better chance B. break your old habits

C. make a quick decision D. ask for clear guidance

This year, about twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impression of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred America teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn about the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, 19, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after two months of studying, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected — much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usually taken in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was the law, and all of the activities were done around the family rather than individually(单独地). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also he missed having a car.

“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize America schools,” he says. “It is far too easy for our level. But I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

1.This year _____ teenagers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.

A. twenty-three hundred B. thirteen hundred

C. over three thousand D. less than two thousand

2.The whole exchange program is done mainly to ____.

A. help teenagers in other countries learn about the real America

B. send students in America to Germany

C. let students learn something about other countries

D. have teenagers learn new languages

3.What is particular in American schools is that ____.

A. there is a ground between two teaching buildings

B. there are a lot of outside activities

C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all

D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in cars

4.After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought that ____.

A. a better education should include something good from both America and Germany

B. German schools trained students best

C. America schools were not as good as German schools

D. the easy life in the American schools was more helpful for students
