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).

    Debbie, who lives in Hong Kong, was on holiday in Beijing with her best friend Lily. Lily is a beautiful girl who is studying science at university. She also models{#blank#}1{#/blank#}her spare time. Debbie is studying history and wants to be writer. Lily and Debbie were very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (excite)to be in Beijing because there was so much to see. Lily suggested {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(visit)the Great Wall first, so they went on a tour to see it the first day. Their tour guide was a young man with {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(glass)who was very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (knowledge). He told them many interesting stories. The next day, they took a bus from their hotel and then, using a map, they walked around some old hutongs. Both of the girls thought that it gave them a good idea of  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}life was like in the 13^th century. Debbie was{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(especial) excited as she{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(study)hutongs earlier in the year{#blank#}9{#/blank#}was the Forbidden City that was next on{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) agenda and the girls loved every minute of the tour around the beautiful grounds. Because they were leaving the next day, when they finished the tour, they went shopping and splashed out on an expensive meal.

    Nowadays, in my spare time, I prefer to go outdoors and spend my time in some different places and with some different people.

    The first reason {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I do outdoor activities is that I have spent too much time indoors. Most of the time I just sit in the classroom, listening {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the teachers and doing my homework. The indoor activities are too {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(limit). The second reason is that fresh air, sunlight and enough physical exercise {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(need) for a healthy body. So when I am free, I should go out. And the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(three) one is that I want to have more {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(experience) in my life. When you go out, far away from your daily life, you will meet a lot of people who are quite different from you. It will give you a lot of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(beauty) moments.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(do) outdoor activities, however, will take a lot of money and energy. So if you have not prepared enough, having some amusement indoors is also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} good choice. It may be much cheaper and easier {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(carry) out. Reading some books and enjoying music are also very good.

    Has Jackie Chan retired? Surprise! He released a new film. A repeat of his action film in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 1970s, Police Story 2013 is about a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (devote) policeman named Zhong Wen (Jackie), {#blank#}3{#/blank#} works so hard that he doesn't have time for his family.

    Jackie Chan said that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (physical), he had a hard time with the film because he did the fight scenes with real mixed martial arts fighters.

"So, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} didn't know how to control their strength when we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (film) the fight sequences (片段). Those were rock-hard and solid kicks.”
