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).

    On December 24th, 1971, 17-year-old Juliane got on a plane with her mother in Peru to fly to meet her father.

    Over the Amazon jungle, there was a thunderstorm. The rain fell heavily and there was a strong wind. Unexpectedly, lightning hit the plane at 3,000 metres and it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (explode). Juliane fell quickly through the air and hit the trees hard. She was unconscious (昏迷的) for{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hour). When she woke up, she found her right arm was cut, her shoulders hurt badly {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she couldn't see in one eye.

    Juliane's was a biologist and when she was small, he taught her how {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (survive) in the jungle. She found a small river and walked slowly along it. “If I follow the river,” she thought, “I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (find) people.” The river also gave her clean water to drink. It was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(extreme) hot, but the river water kept her cool. Sometimes she had to swim in the river because it was too deep to walk in. There were crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the water, but they didn't attack her! There was fruit on sonic trees, hut she didn't eat it — she knew it was too dangerous.

    Juliane walked for ten days.{#blank#}7{#/blank#}night she stopped to sleep because it was too dark to walk. Ten days after the crash, she found a small shelter by the river, in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} there were some woodcutters. They cleaned her cuts carefully and the next day, they carried her down the river, and she{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take) back safely to Pucallpa by a plane. She was the only person who survived the plane crash. The other 91 people,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (include) her mother, all died.

    The film director, Werner Herzog, had a ticket to travel on the plane but missed it. Thirty years later, he made a film called “Wings of Hope” about Juliane and her unbelievable story.

    There is much discussion about the necessity of daily homework for students. Some say homework is necessary since only practice{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (make) perfect, while others disagree. In my opinion, daily homework is necessary for students.

    However, this might be misleading that one may believe all forms of homework are necessary{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(actual), only proper amount of homework in proper form is{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(accept); some homework may not only fail{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (help) the students, but on{#blank#}5{#/blank#}contrary bore them so much that they may lose their interest in studying. “Proper”homework, in my opinion{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (vary) in its forms{#blank#}7{#/blank#}might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary exercise. And it should leave enough{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (free) to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than drive them. Only if a teacher {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(keep) this {#blank#}10{#/blank#}his/her mind, the homework could be of most help to the students.

    For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. All of them have something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children, who look after{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (them) while their parents work.

    Lynette Smith was once the headmaster of a school. She said, “We had a school rule against{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wear) jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys fastened. I was{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (constant) telling them to put them inside their shirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.

    She and her husband began talking to the children. Fear is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (big) problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children were scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (safe).

    The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower still, under a bed{#blank#}8{#/blank#} in a closet. The second is TV. They'll often play it at high volume{#blank#}9{#/blank#}Smiths learned it's hard to get statistics on latchkey children. Most parents are unwilling {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (admit) they leave their children alone.

    When Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her way to accept her best actress Oscar one year, her pink princess-like Dior dress {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (capture) in all its glory. The unscripted moment became hot topic throughout social media.

    That bonus air-time for a single dress at one of the world's global events is priceless for the likes of Dior, one of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (influential) fashion houses in the luxury marketplace.

    Success on the red carpet can earn exposure and profits for luxury brands for years {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come). The red carpet, which will be televised live before Academy Award ceremony, presents a great opportunity for a designer to reach an audience that expands {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the fashion setting. The Lawrence dress received about 40 million mentions on various social media.

    One way of estimating the monetary benefits of having a standout dress on the red carpet is to compare how much a brand would otherwise spend on commercial advertising during the same time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Lawrence had only 75 seconds of solo camera time for her Oscar acceptance speech, Dior had to pay more than $4 million for a commercial spot of the same duration on similar occasions. And this didn't include the time {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (devote) to Lawrence and her dress on the pre-show televised red carpet. Lawrence, 23, had an advertising contract with Dior. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the group's deal with Lawrence affected its sales was clearly stated in its annual financial report. That year, the group clothing section's profits {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (total)165 million euros, up 26 percent from the previous year.

    Heston, the founder of a publicity firm, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} success stories include introducing Jimmy Choo shoes and designer Saab to Hollywood, believes that the Oscar red carpet is today dominated by established luxury brands. Finding it much more difficult to compete with big brand names to dress super stars on big events, many young designers turn to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (bet) on promising rising stars, expecting an overnight success if the young stars rise to sudden fame.
