Study skills
Understanding body language
Body language, as a form of communication, is different from culture to culture. For example, nodding one’s head means “agreement” and shaking one’s head means “disagreement” in most countries, but in some countries of South Asia, it is just the opposite.
Look at the gesture below. What does it mean In different places, it means different things.
In most cultures, it means “OK”; in Russia, Brazil and Turkey, it is an insult; in France and Belgium, it means “zero” or “worthless”; in Japan, it means “money”.
Here are the meanings of some common kinds of body language in the West:
Body language Possible meaning
head held down shy, ashamed
head raised confident
looking down dishonest
looking away bored, uninterested
looking in the eyes friendly , interested, honest
crossed arms not open, unfriendly, angry
open arms open , friendly
hands on the sides impatient , angry
Sometimes the words a person uses do not match his or her body language. When this happens, it is often more important to look at their body language.
Match the pictures with the meanings. Write the correct letter in each box.
a Glad to see you.
b I can do it!
c I did something wrong.

Period 2 Reading
Unit 1 Asia
A Two cities in China
Millie wants to help the exchange students learn more about different cities in China. She has found two articles written by two students. Here are the articles.
Welcome to Beijing!
I am Wei Ke from Beijing, the capital of China. In the middle of the ancient city of Beijing is the Palace Museum, also called the Forbidden City. ① The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties used to live there. ② It was turned into a museum in 1925. With wonderful buildings and art treasures inside, it is well worth a visit. ③
温馨提示：此符号表示“考点精讲点拨”链接。
变成=change... into
Next to the Palace Museum is Tian’anmen Square, the biggest city square in the world. Many tourists like to gather there early in the morning to watch the raising of the national flag.
立德树人·热爱祖国
通过观看升国旗仪式，进行爱国主义教育。
In the north-west of Beijing is the Summer Palace, a large Chinese garden set in a natural landscape. It was once a nice place for the emperors to spend the summer.
Another famous attraction is the Great Wall. ④ It runs for over 6,000 kilometres across northern China, with watchtowers every few hundred metres. The wall was first built more than 2,000 years ago. It is one of the wonders of the world. ⑤
Come and visit my city!
All about Guilin
Hello. My name is Mei Fang. My home is in Guilin.
“East or west, Guilin landscape is best.” Guilin is really a beautiful city in southern China. ⑥ It lies on the two sides of the Lijiang River. ⑦ All around the city, mountains stand in different shapes. Many visitors come and visit Guilin because of its fantastic landscape. ⑧
In the north-west of the city is the Reed Flute Cave. In this underground cave, it is amazing that there are so many rocks in unusual shapes — some hang down, and others point upwards. ⑨ The cave is praised as the “Art Palace of Nature”.
Tourists like to take a boat trip along the Lijiang River. It is great fun. It is also popular to hire a bicycle and ride around the countryside.
I hope you can visit my city one day!
