9．There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love．One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds．She took them home and put them in a small cage，caring them with love．Luckily，the birds grew strong little by little．Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song．The girl felt great love for the birds．
One day the girl left the door to the cage open accidentally．The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage．The girl was so frightened that he would fly away．So as he flew close，she grasped him wildly．Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him．Suddenly，she felt the bird go weak，so she opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird．It was her desperate love that had killed him．
She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage．She could feel his strong desire-needing to fly into the clear，blue sky．Unwillingly，she lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air．The lucky bird circled once，twice，three times．The girl watched delightedly at the bird．Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss．What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily．Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder．It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard．Remember，the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight； the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

1．Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable．Every society also has its taboos，or types of behavior that are considered a violation （违反） of good manners．
The word"taboo"comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided．（36）C They tend to be specific to a culture or country，and usually form around a group's values and beliefs．What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another．
Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly，or relate to one's manner of speaking．In many cultures，for example，it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public．In some countries，the volume （音量） of one's voice may annoy people．（37）F
（38）A For example，one of the biggest differences among many Western，Asian，and African cultures is the use of eye contact．In the US，people make eye contact when they talk to others．（39）G In many Asian and African cultures，however，children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders，or those of higher rank，as a way to show respect．
Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in．Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries．（40）B Also，in some Asian countries，moving your hands a lot while talking，or‘talking with your hands'，is considered unsuitable．

If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person．You worry a lot and you're always easily upset．You're very stubborn，but you aren't very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time．
If you sleep curled up，you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive．You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt．
If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strong points and weaknesses．You're usually careful．You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people．
