Body language is one of the most powerful {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mean) of communication, often even more powerful {#blank#}2{#/blank#}spoken language. People around the world show many kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(speak) communication. Of course, body language can be misread, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} many gestures and actions are universal.

    The most universal {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(face) expression is, of course, the smile- its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(true) happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(hide) other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone" {#blank#}9{#/blank#}_ (lose) face" and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (feel).

    Chengdu has dozens of now millionaires, Asia's biggest building, and fancy new hotels. But for tourists like me, pandas are its top{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(attract).

    So it was a great honor to be invited backstage at the not-for -profit Panda Base, where ticket money helps pay for research, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(allow) to get up close to these cute animals at the 600-acre centre. From tomorrow, I will be their UK ambassador. The title will be{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(official)given to me at a ceremony in London. But my connection with pandas goes back {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my days on a TV show in the mid-1980s,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} I was the first Western TV reporter{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(permit) to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild. My ambassadorial duties will include {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (introduce) British visitors to the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research center in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.

    On my recent vigil, I held a lively three-month-old twin that had been rejected by {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(it) mother. The nursery team switches him every few{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(day) with his sister so that while one is being bottle-fed,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} other is with mum-she never suspects.

    For those who just love to shop online, Nov 11. is the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(good) time of the year. Online group buying is quite popular{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the young. The main reason is that things in this way are{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(cheap) than those bought in usual stores. Then, it is convenient to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) orders and pay. Besides, it is a trend and young people love following trends. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, every coin has two sides. Online group buying has{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(advantage). It is sometimes unsafe. One of my friends was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(cheat) once. He bought {#blank#}8{#/blank#}MP4 on a group buying site. Several days passed, he still didn't receive the MP4. He called to find out{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the problem was, and found that the site was a trick. Therefore, we must be careful when{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(do) such shopping. In addition, buy only what we need and never buy unnecessary things just because they are cheap.

    Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the first change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. As the rocket rose into the air, we{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(pull) back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the earth's gravity. It was so {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(strength) that we could not say anything to each other. Gradually the weight lessened and I was able to talk to{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(he). "Why is the spaceship not falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from{#blank#}5{#/blank#}tree I will fall to the ground." I asked. "We are too far {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the earth now to feel its pull," he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(explain), "so we feel as if no gravity at all. When we get  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (close) to the moon little by little, we shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as powerful a pull as the earth's." I cheered up immediately and floated{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(weightless) around in our spaceship cabin {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (watch) the earth become smaller and the moon larger.
