脑残---nuts
I love the word and use it whenever I think a person is stupid, or a behavior is crazy. I learned the term from one of my classmates. Once, we saw two high school girls wearing miniskirts on a very cold winter day and my classmate called the two girls “nuts”. I don’t think the word reflects my personality. I use it because it sounds cool.

I use this word very often. Once, my classmates and I were discussing how amusing QQ is. One guy suddenly burst out, “I have MSN too”. This comment had no relation with the topic we were discussing. I used this word and everybody laughed. I think it is a fantastic word that can change awkwardness to amusement.

晕死---I’m giddy!
I use this word a lot---more often than my classmates. It has became a symbol of me, as my friends sometimes refer to me as the guy who often says the word. I am a person who wants to be different and this word gives me that feeling.

　　Body language is a very powerful tool of communication, not only between people but in the animal world as well．

　　In many instances, we produce idioms(习惯用语、成语)which are all understandable by borrowing examples from animal communication．For example, we know that a frightened cat will arch(拱起)its back high in rigid curve(拱形)．From this starting-point we might hear the expression, “He gets my back up!”meaning “He makes me angry．”

　　In the same manner, we know that many animals, if challenged by attackers, will not turn and run away, because this will encourage the attacker to attack them more forcefully．Instead, they will move backwards slowly to get out of harm’s way, always still facing their attacker．We call this action “backing off” and it can be used just as well with humans as with animals．

　　In the case of humans, however, the back-off may not be physical but oral, as in using a kinder tone of voice and gentler words instead of fighting against the attackers．

(1)

[　　]
A．	move backwards slowly
