K.L. Rothey, 71, from the United States, a retired lawyer ?
Rothey has given himself the Chinese name of Luqi or “roadside beggar(乞丐)”. In his eyes, beggars are doing important work collecting rubbish. What they do is not dirty. Littering the street is, he adds.?
Rothey first visited China in 1984 and soon he became interested in Chinese culture. Married to a Chinese calligrapher (書法家), he lived in Huangshi, Hubei Province.?
Many people know him because he often shows up in the street collecting rubbish. “Huangshi is my home so I hope it becomes cleaner and more beautiful,” says Rothey. He has also organized volunteers to collect rubbish in other cities, including Wuhan.?
Rothey says he’ll continue collecting rubbish, as long as he is able to.?
Jill Robinson, 50, from Britain, founder(創(chuàng)立者)and CEO of Animals Asia Foundation.
She has been working for nearly 20 years to stop people from getting the bile(膽汁)from moon bears for use in traditional medicine.?
She began working for the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s. A business trip to a bear farm in the mainland in 1993 changed her life. She saw so many moon bears killed by people. That made her cry. She said she would be back to set them free.?
In 1998, she set up the Animal Foundation. In July 2000, the foundation agreed to free 500 farmed moon bears. In 2002, the Moon Bear Rescue(救援)Center was set up in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan.?
Now, bear farms have been stopped in the area of two-thirds of China. “As much as we rescue them, they rescue us. These bears rescue us every single day and they teach us to be better people,” Robinson says.?

If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals(信號). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.
In case(假使) you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(語氣) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.
These non-verbal(非口頭的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people’s body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.
小題1:The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to ___________.
A.explain what body language is
B.show the importance of body language
C.tell us body language is less used than verbal language
D.tell us body language is the only tool in communication
小題2:What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A.Body language is widely used all over the world
B.Body language can be explained in different ways.
C.It’s too hard to understand the meanings of body language
D.People have already looked through many books on body language.
小題3:According to the writer, body language is very ___________.
A.simple to learnB.negative to be used
C.hard to understandD.helpful in communication
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.Body language is uncomfortable.
B.What people are saying is not important
C.Body language can show your emotion.
D.To send wrong signals is not body language

A.what the wrong body language signals are
B.examples of how to understand body language correctly.

Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment.
Have Your Heart in Your Mouth
This expression means that you’re really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping(怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you "have your heart in your mouth."
Have Butterflies in the Stomach
How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren’t butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision.
These stomach flutters (跳動) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better.    
Sick as a Dog
If you’ve ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it’s all right to describe someone who’s not feeling well as being "sick as a dog".    
Under the Weather
When it’s rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person’s health and mood(心情).
小題1: The expression "__" is most probably used while you are watching a thriller.
A. have your heart in your mouth    B. sick as a dog    C. under the weather
小題2:Someone believes__ if you "have butterflies in the stomach" before a test.
A. you’re sure to fail      B. you will forget everything C. you might do better
小題3:It’s __ to say somebody is "sick as a dog" when he is not feeling well.
A. impolite   B. suitable       C. wrong
小題4:When somebody says "under the weather", he must feel     
A. upset      B. happy            C. calm
小題5:All expressions discussed in this passage are about      
A. health      B. habits           C. feelings
