Ever since humans lived on the earth, they have made v  1.    forms of communication. In general, the major form of expressing thoughts and feelings has been s_2.__ language. But when there is a language barrier(障礙), that is, people ­­­m 3.  each other , communication is completed through body language where gestures  r  4.   letters , words and ideas. Here are many forms of body language in the world, each having its own f  5. .

Smile is the most u  6.   facial expression, which shows happiness and put people at

e  7.  . When someone gets angry, he may f   8._, turn his back to others or make a fist shaking it.  

There are also different ways to g  9.__ someone in different countries. In a word, We should study international customs to avoid difficulties in today’s world c  10.   crossroads.

My aunt, a s  11.__ in women’s disease, devoted all her life to her w  12. career without  e  13.  . She often worked far into the night to d  14.  babies for the poor . It was her kindness and c  15.    she showed to her patients that made her successful . Despite of being a success as a doctor, she was m   16.  , not proud.               

Her devotion to medical science i  17.  me greatly. Suddenly a bright idea came c  18.   in  my mind, “why not c  19.   on her career and work as an o  20. doctor?”

 

A woman in her sixties lived alone in her little cottage with a pear tree at her door. She spent all her time taking care of the tree. But the children nearby drove her  1  by making fun of her. They would climb her tree and then run away with pears,  2  “Aunty Misery” at her

One evening, a passer by asked to  3  for the night. Seeing that he had an  4  face, she let him in and gave him a nice   5   . The next morning the stranger, actually a sorcerer （巫師）, thanked her by granting （允準） her     6  that anyone who climbed up her tree  7   not be able to come back down until she   8   it.

    When the children came back to steal her   9   , she had them stuck on the tree. They had to beg her long   10   she gave the tree permission to let  11    go. Aunty Misery was free from the  12   at last.One day another man    13   her door. This one did not look trustworthy to her,   14   she asked who he was . “I am Death, I’ve come to take you   15    me.” said he.Thinking fast Aunty Misery said, “Fine, but I’d like to  16    some pears from my dear tree to remember the  17  it brought to me in this life. But I am too    18   to climb high to get the best fruit. Will you be so   19    as to do it for me?” With a deep sigh, Mr. Death climbed up the tree   20   and was immediately stuck to it. No matter how much he warned or begged, Aunty Misery would not allow the tree to let Death go.

On a cold winter morning I heard someone trying to get their car out of the snow after a snowstorm.

It only took about a minute and, __3.__ more cold than sociable(交際的), I walked back to my apartment, __4.__ really seeing the driver.

Months ___5.__ I was at the corner store and the guy in front of me __6._ on paying for the beer I was buying! It felt a bit __7.__ and I had to refuse repeatedly. When I __8.__ the cashier she told me my stuff was already __9.___ and she couldn't take my money.  

So, I was walking back home from the store and that __10.__ guy is fifty feet in front of me, all the way! It __11.__that he's my neighbor, living in the apartment complex(公寓大樓) just after mine!  

As we __12.__ the stairs of our separate apartment buildings I __13.__, "Thanks for the beer!" He replied, "__14.__. Thanks for helping me push my car that time!" 

I didn't __15._ him and told him it wasn't me.  He said "Oh! Okay. Well, still ... enjoy!" 

A few days later I __16._ him getting into his car and I realized __17.__ he was and that it actually had been me who __18.__ him that day!

Maybe one day soon I'll tell him he bought __19.__ for the right guy!

Either way, it feels nice to help, and when you put __20.__ into the world, it eventually comes back to you!
