“Made in China” in the USA

    If you go to another country， what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan， some beautiful clothes in F{#blank#}1{#/blank#} ， or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy， you might probably think those products(产品) were m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} in those countries. However， you could be w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He f{#blank#}4{#/blank#} it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin， but even t{#blank#}5{#/blank#} most of the toys had American brands（品牌）， they were made in China.”

    Toys are not the o{#blank#}6{#/blank#} things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes，” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores b{#blank#}7{#/blank#} finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly a{#blank#}8{#/blank#} buying products made in China. “In fact，” he continues， “there are so many things made in China — footballs， handbags， pet food， mobile phones. E{#blank#}9{#/blank#} American flags are made in China!”

    Kang Jian thinks it's great that China is so good at p{#blank#}10{#/blank#} these everyday things. However， he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.

    Do you know about your body language well? People believe your body expresses what you think.

    The most common body language of all {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) crossing your arms. A parent with his or her arms crossed is a sign of big trouble. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} if the arms are crossed behind his or her back, the meaning is quite different. Anger {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (become) calm.

    Eyes can talk too. Without eye contact, it is a typical sign of dishonesty. If your eyes go up to the right, it means you're using your {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (imagine) instead of your memory. So there is no doubt that you are telling {#blank#}5{#/blank#} lie.

    The place that your chest is pointing to shows where your interest lies. In a meeting, anyone whose chest is pointed away is either not interested in or disagrees {#blank#}6{#/blank#} what's being said.

    If you're at a party, your head will turn towards who is talking. After all, you won't notice the person unless you are looking at him or her. However, your body often shows who you want {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (listen) to. And the finger drumming is such a loud and clear message that {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (other) may notice you are impatient.

    People run their hands through hair when they're confident in their appearance. Playing with hair is not always a good sign though. Someone that curls his or her hair around a finger feels {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (relax). But if the hair {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hold) by one hand, it shows the person is nervous.
