| Although we may not realize it, when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not just by words. We send messages to the people around us also by body movements. A smile and handshake (握手) show welcome. Waving one"s hand is to say "Goodbye." Nodding (点头) the head means agreement, while shaking it means disagreement. In China and some English-speaking countries, these body movements have the same meanings. But not all body languages mean the same things in different countries. For example, nodding the head in some Asian countries means not "Yes.", but "No." When we speak a foreign language, it"s important to know the meanings of the body movements in the foreign countries. In Russia, France and some of South American countries men kiss (吻) each other when they meet. Men don"t kiss each other in China or English-speaking countries. In England, older people usually shake hands when they meet someone for the first time, however, young people don"t shake hands. In France, people shake hands in the office every morning. French people kiss each other more often than English people when they meet or leave. |

| Mother"s Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated (庆祝) in the United States, India and other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother"s Day is on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose of carnation (康乃馨), while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one. The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother"s Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world. In China, people do the same on the same day for mothers. And in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast (广播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it says, "Love is invaluable." On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother"s Day that year, a Chinese mother was killed in a criminal bombing (罪恶暴行). Her name is Shao Yunhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember her for ever. |
