When we want to tell other people what we think， we can do it with the help of words． We
can also do it in many other ways， too． Sometimes we move our heads up and down when
we want to say "yes"，and we shake our heads when we want to say "no"．When you wave to
a friend， you are using body language． When you smile at someone you mean to be
friendly． When you put one finger in front of your mouth， you mean "be quiet"．
Yet， people in different countries may use different body languages．
An Englishman was in Italy． He could speak little Italian． One day while he was walking in
the street， he felt hungry and went into a restaurant． When the waiter came， the Englishman
opened his mouth， put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips． In this 第2页，共10页 way， he meant to say， "Bring me something to eat"．But the waiter brought him a lot of things
to drink， first tea， then coffee then milk， but no food．
The Englishman was sorry that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry．He was ready
to leave the restaurant when another man came in．The man put his hands on his stomach， and
this body language was good enough for the waiter． In a few minutes， the waiter brought him
a large plate of bread and meat．
Finally the Englishman had his meal in the same way．

in plastic bag． On each potato the students had to write a name of a person that they
hated． And the next day， every child brought some potatoes． Some had two potatoes； some
three； some up to five．
Mrs． Smith then told the children to carry the bags everywhere they went， even to the toilet，
for two weeks． As day after day passed， the children started to complain（抱怨） about the
awful smell of the rotten（腐烂的） potatoes．
Those children who brought five potatoes began to feel the weight trouble of the bags． After
