For example, a smile and handshake show welcome, and   (9)   hands means congratulations. Body language also includes many movements that most people are not aware of, such as wrinkling and   (10)   movements of the eyebrow(眉毛) and other facial expressions.

   The same body language may mean differently in different cultures, for example, people in Arab and England treat the   (12)  between people differently. Englishmen usually don't like to have body-con-tact with friends, let alone with   (13)  .

The weather is closely related(联系) to our life．It is all around us all the time．It is an important part of our lives．We cannot control it, but it often controls how and   (1)  we live, what we do, what we wear and what we eat．Read this passage and learn  (2)  about the weather．

What is the weather？The weather is just the state of the atmosphere   (3)  any time, such as temperature, wind,  (4)  , sun, etc．What makes the weather change？

As we know, not every place on the earth gets the same amount of sunlight．Some places get  (5)  sunlight．So it’s warmer in those places．Some places get little  (6)  no sunlight in winter．Then those places have colder temperatures．These differences in temperature make the air and water    (7)  around the earth．The movement helps to take the heat energy from the sun across the earth．So the   (8)   changes．

Climate is a place’s weather over a long time．The weather changes from day to day and  (9)  from hour to hour．It can be sunny in the morning, cold and wet in the afternoon．But the climate changes very   (10)  over lots of years．

Little Jimmy was so excited because the package he desired finally arrived. It was for his 10th birthday. When he looked at the   (1)  box he imagined it contained a football and a baseball! Or   (2)  it was the rocking horse or remote control aircraft that he   (3)   inthe supermarket. But after he joyfully   (4)  it and dug through three sheets of bubble wrap (泡沫包装) and millions of pieces of styrofoam (泡沫塑料) he   (5)  acardboard and colorful plastic paper package of pencils. His heart sunk. He was very   (6)  ，and so am I，not because of the pencils but because of the   (7)  ! We need to do something about too much packaging.

First of al! we create too much   (8)  with the unused packaging. According to the consumer reports of senior editor Mandy Walker，the cardboard boxes used   (9)  shipping make up one-third of the U.S. solid waste. I　do   (10)  that there are some breakable products that need extra packaging. But that   (11)   packaging brings me to my next topic ----- cutting down on   (12)  .According to the Environmental Defense Fund if we   (13)   the use of packaging from 100 tons to 90 tons we can   (14)   more than 5,372 pounds of waste and more than 34,000 pounds of CO₂ equivalent. That makes a big   (15)  .

Finally，cutting down on packaging   (16)  saves companies money! According to the packaging expert at Consumer Reports，companies can save much   (17)  if they buy the same size box for every product they deliver. Also if the   (18)  is too small like lip balm（唇膏），they can just   (19)  it in an envelope. As a final point we should require people to recycle packaging,  (20)  at least get companies to take it back. I hope we can cut down on packaging as soon as possible for the good of the world.
