Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using mouth accounts for only around 10% (or even less) of all the means to communicate a message.

Moreover, you can never determine the honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through mouth do not reflect what people really think or feel. The only way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? For example, you ask a person if he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job?” or “Does he have the confidence to finish this task?” You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks.

Then what is the final solution? Here are just a few of the magic tricks you’re about to discover：

◆Actions to make someone like or trust you.

◆How to win in a negotiation(谈判).

◆How to attract the opposite sex using body language.

◆How to increase your sales using body language.

◆How to help you find out who is telling a lie.

And a lot, lot more!

Body language is very easy and fun to learn. With this book, you will make body movements to achieve the success you’ve always longed for. Do yourself a big favor and get a copy of Body Language Magic.

The Renaissance Reading

The Accelerated Reader(AR)Programme is a computerized reading enrichment programme that combines great children’s literature with computer skills. As an individualized reading programme, it is designed to motivate students to read more and to read good literature. Students of different abilities can use this programme. It is not a competitive programme but one that improves any students’ reading ability.

Here is how it works. Students select books in their reading range from our Accelerated Reader Selection and read it at their own pace. Once the student has completed the book, he/she is ready to take an AR quiz. Each quiz consists of 5, 10, or 20 multiple choice comprehensive questions about the book.

After taking the quiz, the computer shows the student how many questions he/she answered correctly, shows the correct answers for missed questions, and praises the students’ efforts with an on-screen personalized message. Passing the quiz assures the teacher and the parents that the child actually read and understood the book. Each student tests independently—reading the quiz questions himself/herself.

The computer keeps track of reading points, books, and average test scores, as well as other data. A student may test on a book only once and should, therefore, have thoroughly read and understood the contents before taking the quiz. Each student is responsible for reading the screen to be sure that the quiz, by title and author, is the correct one he/she wishes to take.

Students are recognized for their accomplishments with praise from the teachers and special recognition at the classroom level when individual and/or classroom goals are met.

Driving Around New Zealand

There are extensive bus networks and a couple of handy train lines crisscrossing New Zealand, but

far the best scenery, flexibility and pure freedom itˈs hard to beat piling into a campervan or

rent-a-car and hitting the open road. Scanning the map you might think that driving from A to B

wonˈt take long, but remember that many of the roads here are two-lane country byways, traversing

hilly landscape in curves, crests and convolutions：always allow plenty of time to get wherever

you’re going. And whoˈs in a hurry anyway? Slow down and see more of the country：explore little

end-of-the-line towns, stop for a swiinlsurfibeer, and pack a Swiss Army knife for impromptu

picnics at roadside produce stalls.
