1、began with a report on the excellent noodle harvest in the south Switzerland. The programme mentioned two reasons for the good crop: an unusually warm winter and the disappearance of the insect that attacked the noodle crop every year. The reporter showed many noodle trees with the farmers pulling n
2、oodles off them and putting them into baskets. The people watching were told that they may not have heard of noodles from this part of the world because noodles were grown as part of small family businesses. The programme makers makers realized that people might wonder why noodles were always the sa
3、me size so that they explained that “it was the result of many years patient research with the tree to produce noodles of exactly the same length.” But even so they explained, the life of a noodle farmer was not easy. “The last two weeks of March are an anxious time for noodle farmers. There is alwa
4、ys a chance of very cold weather spoiling their crop. Then it is difficult for them to get top prices on the markets.” Many people in England believed this story. They rang the BBC to find out hoe to grow their own noodle tree. They were told to “place a piece of noodle in a tin of tomato sauce and
5、hope for the best.” This may seem very silly, but in the 1950s very few British people travelled aboard for their holidays and even fewer of them ate noodles. So it seemed possible to imagine that noodles grew on tree like apples, pears and nuts. People also trusted the Panorama programme for its ca
6、reful research and serious information. So they were shocked to find the next day that they had all believed an April Fools joke. Even today the report of the noodle harvest is remembered as one of the best April Fools jokes ever! Unit 4 Communication: No Problem? Yesterday, another student and I, r
7、epresenting our universitys student association, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this years international students. They were coming to study at Beijing University. We should take them first to their dormitories and then to the student cantee. After an hour of waiting for their fli
8、ght to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them. The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Columbia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them
9、 to each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, togeth
10、er with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched Georges moving hand. They both apologized- another cultural mistake! Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan
11、. When we met yesterday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcias smiling face. They shook hand and then kissed each ot
12、her twice on each cheek, since that is the France custom when adults meet people they know. Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men from Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not touch women. As I get to know
13、 more international friends, I learn more about this cultural “body language”. Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feel
14、ings using unspoken “language” through physical distance, actions or posture. English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are more
15、 likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow. These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed. I have seen, however, that cultu
16、ral customs for body language are very general- not all members of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying international customs can certainly help avoid difficulties in todays world cultural crossroads! Showing our feelings Body language is one of the most powerful s of commu
17、nication, often even more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all knds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to “read” others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body lang
18、uage can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal. The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile its function is to show happiness and to people at ease. It does not always means that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feeli
19、ngs like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone “loses face” and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings. From the time we are babie, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most places around the world, frowning and turn
20、ing ones back to someone show anger. Making a fist and shaking it alomost means that someone is angry and threatening another person. There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up and down s for agreement almost worldwide. Most people also understand that shaking th
21、e head from side to side means disagreement or refusal. How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am int
22、erested. If I roll my eyes and turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it. Being respectful to people is subjective, besed on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not us
23、ually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen. With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language. We can ofen be wrong about each other, so it is an
24、 amazing thing that we understand each others as well as we do! THE OPEN HAND-A UNICERSAL SIGN When meeting people at the airport, most people smile and shake hands with people they meet. We know that smile is usually a sign that people feel friendly and happy, but what if we dont know who the new p
25、erson is? What if we are not introduced by a friend? What if we are meeting a stranger in a unfamiliar place? Sometimes people are dangerous and humans have to find ways to protect themselves. We have to make sure we can trust people we dont know, and we have to show that we are not dangerous. Showi
26、ng our hands means that we are not armed. In many cultures today, the Western custom of shaking hands is used. We use our right hand, which is usually strong than the left one. If we are using our hand this way, in cannot be holding a knife or a gun. It shows that we trust the other person, and that
27、 the other person can trust us. Not all cultures use the handshake, and people in many Asian cultures do not always touch another person. The traditional greeting in China was to cover the left hand with the right and bow. Japanese people might cover one hand with other and, depending on whom they a
28、re greeting, bow slightly or quite low. In India , Hindu people join their hands in front of their faces and bow their heads. A Muslim will touch his heart, mouth and forehead to show respect. Even young people in the West now give each other the “high five”, when they slap each others hands high in
29、 the air. They are all keeping their hands busy. In almost all cultures, to smile and show an open right hand means, “Welcome, you are safe with me.” Unit 5 Theme parks fun and mor tha fun Which theme park would you like to visit?

39、xcitement and learning Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trp to Brazil and experinced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, began with a report on the excellent noodle harvest in the south Swit
40、zerland. The programme mentioned two reasons for the good crop: an unusually warm winter and the disappearance of the insect that attacked the noodle crop every year.
