We are always using body language in our daily life．When we have a conversation with someone，we may be using more body language than words．However，the same body language may mean different things in different countries．That’s why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly．Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures．
For example，in the U．S．A．people point to their heads when they think someone is clever．However，in Europe it means“He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head．”
In our Chinese culture，nodding our head up and down means“yes”and shaking our head from side to side means“no”．However，in parts of India，Greece and Turkey，it means just the opposite．
In England or the U．S．A．，when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb(拇指)and the second finger，it means“You’re all right or everything is OK．”However，if we do this in France or Belgium，it means“You’re worth zero．”In Greece or Turkey，we should not make this gesture，or we will be thought to be very rude．
The meaning of gestures can also change over time．In the 1960s，the V sign meant“peace”．However，during World War Ⅱ，it meant“victory”．In Greece，it is a very insulting (污辱性)sign．
Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning all over the world, such as smiling and crying．

Did you ever wonder how some of your favorite foods, products or toys came about? Believe it or not, they may have been an accident, or a failure of some other intention. Below, we found three mistakes we’re thankful for turned out to be what they are.

1. Most historians hold that the Chinese invented fireworks in the 9th century when they discovered how to make gunpowder. Story has it that a Chinese cook accidentally mixed together what were then considered common kitchen items and noticed they burnt. When put tightly in a bamboo tube and lit, it blew up.

2. In May of 1886, a law led John Pemberton, a pharmacist(藥劑師), to rewrite the formula(配方) for “Pemberton’s French Wine Coca”, his popular headache treatment. Containing sugar instead of wine as a sweetener, the outcome became something for Coke, which was later mixed with carbonated(碳酸) water. His bookkeeper suggested the name Coca-Cola because he thought the two C’s would look good together, which is how what we call Coca-Cola, a world-wide drink came into being.

3. During World WarⅡ, scientists at the University of Birmingham invented the magnetron(磁控管)—an important heat-producing part of the microwave oven. While working for Raytheon Corporation after the war, the American engineer Percy Spencer was testing the magnetron when a chocolate bar in his pocket melted. He went on to test other foods including popcorn kernels(仁), and found it to be a much more efficient way to cook. In 1947 Raytheon came out with the first restaurant microwave oven, which was six feet tall and weighed 750 lbs.
【小題1】The right time order of the three inventions should be ________.

A．fireworks, the microwave and Coca-Cola
B．fireworks, Coca-Cola and the microwave
C．Coca-Cola, fireworks and the microwave
D．the microwave, Coca-Cola and fireworks
【小題2】Percy Spencer found the microwave efficient in cooking when he was ________.
A．looking for a way to melt his chocolate
B．trying to know how a magnetron could cook
C．working to know how the magnetron works
D．a(chǎn)sked to invent a restaurant microwave oven
【小題3】The underlined phrase “ blew up” might mean _______ in Chinese.
A．爆炸B．膨脹C．升華D．蒸發(fā)
【小題4】What can we learn from the above invention stories?
A．Experiments make great inventors of our time.
B．Nothing is impossible if one tries each day.
C．Inventors come out of hard work at any time.
D．A small incident may lead to a great invention.

If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.

     Every year it's the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year.
