Tim Burton attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time—Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.

Alice, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate, only to find she is about to be proposed to by a rich suitor（求婚者）in front of hundreds of snooty（傲慢的）society types. She runs off, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland—a place she visited many years before, yet she doesn’t remember. The white rabbit claims to have come back for Alice because she is the only one who can slay（杀死)the Jabberwock, the beast who guards the Red Queen’s empire. Alice remains completely unaware of why she is in Wonderland, and is confused about the fact that she had once visited Wonderland years before.

Now, Wonderland has changed into a dark, scarier place than it used to be. Alice then embarks on an adventure of self discovery, and to save Wonderland from the Red Queen’s reign（统治）of terror with the help of her Wonderland friends.

Workers may feel comfortable handing in a sick note for flu or physical illness but nearly half of workers reported not being happy to disclose a mental health condition at work，especially among manual（体力的）and skilled professions．

The survey of 1,000 workers by national charity The Shaw Trust found that 18.3% would not disclose a condition even to their HR department and only 17.9% would disclose details of an illness to a colleague．Of the respondents 34.5% said the reason they would not disclose a mental health condition was that they felt worried or ashamed they would be treated differently．This figure rose to 43.3% among16 to 24-year-olds．Besides，one in ten workers thought that disclosing a condition would reduce their chances of promotion with those in junior and middle management being most concerned．

Tim Cooper，managing director of The Shaw Trust，said：“The Office of National Statistics estimates that one in six people may suffer from a mental ill health condition at any one time．Despite this，our research illustrates people are still unwilling to disclose such a condition，particularly in the current economic climate in which workers are concerned about showing any sign of weakness．We know however from our work people with mental health conditions are perfectly capable of managing a job and their condition with the right support from their employers and therefore feel it is vital that such misunderstanding is laid to rest．”

To solve the problem，businesses need to create an environment in which people not only feel confident enough to discuss a mental health condition with a line manager or member of the HR team but in which they can also receive the support they need to continue making a valuable contribution．Additionally，to help businesses achieve this，The Shaw Trust has created a website offering advice and information．

B
Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.
Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.
Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.
Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.
