    Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7 per cent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...

    Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!

    Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are the monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.

    Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!

    Posture(姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

    Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips(噘起嘴唇). You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.

Most people agree that honesty is a good thing.But does Mother Nature agree?Animals can't talk,but can they lie with their bodies and behavior?Animal experts may not call it lying,but they do agree that many animals behave dishonestly to fool other animals.Dishonesty often helps them survive(生存). 

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals.A bird called the plover sometimes pretends(假装) to be hurt in order to protect its young.When an enemy gets close to its nest,the plover pretends to have a broken wing.The enemy follows the "hurt" adult,leaving the baby birds safe. 

Another kind of bird,the scrub jay,buries(埋) its food so it always has something to eat.Scrub jays also steal food.They watch where others bury their food and steal it.But clever scrub jays seem to know when others are watching them.So they get back later,dig the food and bury it again somewhere else.

 Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday. It is one of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} four top traditional Chinese festivals with a history of over 2, 000 years. 

 Dragon Boat Festival {#blank#}2{#/blank#}( fall) on the fifth day of the fifth month lunar. This year, Chinese will have a 3-day public holiday {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Saturday to Monday for celebrations. The dragon boat race is one of them. And it is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( warm) welcomed.

 Do you know that" Happy Dragon Boat Festival" might not be a good greeting for {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( we), although it sounds quite natural? For we Chinese, "Safe and Healthy Dragon Boat Festival" is much {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( popular) than that greeting. 

 In addition to Chinese, many other {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( country) also celebrate this festival. For example, in Singapore, the local seafood is used to make zongzi. Actually, Dragon Boat Festival has been a world-wide festival today.
