       Sometimes people call each other “scaredy-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream．

       Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action．If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things．It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can．

       Something like this also happens to people．When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes．Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense．All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react．We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run．

       Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face．If we give way to our feelings, we can get into trouble．Have you ever said something in anger—or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always wise to express your feelings freely．

       Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feeling? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense．Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel churned up inside．It can actually be bad for your health．

       Feeling that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away．It’s as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard．You might not be able to see them, but before long you’d smell them．And if you open the cupboard, chances are you’d see little fruit flies hovering all over them．They’d be rotten．

       You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard, you can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around．And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas．

Ever since humans lived on the earth，they have made BSC of various forms of  communication．Generally, the expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral  speech．When there is a language difficulty, communication is carded out through sign language in which movements stand for letters，words and ideas．Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to use this form of expression．Many of these symbols of whole words are very vivid（生动的）and exact and can be used internationally；spelling，however, cannot.

Body language passes on ideas or thoughts by certain action, either on purpose or not. A wink（眨眼）can be a way of indication that the party is only joking. A nod means one agree, while shaking the head indicates “No”.

Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille（a system of raised dots read with the fingertips）, signal flags, Morse code（莫尔斯电码）and Smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While language is the most common form of communication, other system and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
