I feel very honored to be invited at your lecture about the body language in different countries next Monday. I’m real looking forward to it.
As you know it, as an important part of culture, the body language plays significant role in our life. Much of the body language are universal, but different cultures do have different way of expressing themselves. Therefore that is beneficial for us to know about the body language of different countries. I believe his lecture will help us to understanding the cultural differences in the body language.
Hope your lecture will be a great successful.

Many high school students in the United States get training in construction skills by building real houses. The project 1. (run) by the Waterloo Career Center. The center offers students different programs designed 2. (prepare) them for careers in technical fields.
Students from the Waterloo Community School District 3. (recent) took part in construction training that centered on the skill of masonry (砖石建筑)—work done with stone, brick or concrete materials. The students spent five days at their school learning 4. experienced workers from the Masonry Institute of Iowa, a 5.(profession) organization. The workers taught the students 6. to mix mortar (砂浆)and build walls with bricks and blocks. The students moved the mortar onto 7. (piece) of wood and then added bricks and blocks to form walls.
Chris Busch helped oversee the students’ efforts. As the students worked, Busch 8.(offer) them an important piece of advice.

West High student Nathan Elliott told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier newspaper that this kind of learning was much better 9. sitting at a computer.

Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online. 1. It was e-sports, or competitive computer gaming.
Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun. Some of them have become professional gamers, playing games as their full-time job. 2. They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week. They do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them.
3. Are players athletes? Some say no. E-sports players don’t need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies e-sports as kinds of games, not as sports.
But others say yes: e-sports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination, reflexes, accuracy and timing. If darts, snooker and shooting are classified as sports, then perhaps e-sports should be too.
4. And they will be an official medal sport in the Asian Games starting from 2022. Next step: the Olympics?
For many e-sports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that e-sports are growing in popularity and importance. 5.
A.But are e-sports really sports?
B.All like playing computer games.
C.It’s not easy being a professional gamer, though.
D.But this wasn’t a football, basketball or tennis match.
E.It is certain that e-sports will come into the 2024 Olympics.
F.In fact, China and South Korea do classify e-sports as sports.
G.If e-sports are not as important as sports now, they definitely will be in the near future.
If you could have a superpower, what would it be? Other than flying and communicating with someone from his mind (which, let’s be honest, would probably actually be awful), breathing underwater is one of the favorites. You can hang out with Aquaman and Ursula, and when the end of the world comes and we’re all living under water, you’ll be fine.
With this in mind, a student at the Royal College of Art, London has designed a 3D-printed amphibious garment called AMPHIBIO — essentially a set of gills(鳃) — for this very purpose.
According to Jun Kamei, a biomimicry designer and materials scientist, it is "for a future where humankind lives in the water".
With the world set for a global temperature increase of 3.2°C (5.7°F) by 2100, rising sea levels are a very real threat to large coastal cities, potentially affecting up to 2 billion people — or 26 percent of the current global population.
Kamei’s little device uses a specially designed porous(多孔的) material that fills oxygen again in the water and releases carbon dioxide. It is inspired by water-diving insects that create their own little scuba diving set by creating a protective bubble of air around their body thanks to their water repellent(防水的) skin.
The technology is easily 3D-printable too, which will be great when we need them together. These "gills" could replace heavy and clumsy scuba equipment, making it more similar to free diving but for longer. This could have immediate applications for underwater rescue plans — the 12 boys rescued by divers from a flooded cave in Thailand, for example, where it took weeks to work out how to get the boys and the vital breathing equipment through those narrow tunnels.
So far, the tech has only been tested as a working prototype, not actually on humans, so the dream may have to be on hold for now. And scaling up and testing on humans is Kamei’s next plan. This may sound unbelievable, but Kamei insists he has a much more optimistic vision of the future.
1.What can be inferred about Aquaman and Ursula?
A. They can read minds.
B. They can breathe underwater.
C. They often cause huge disasters.
D. They can’t live underwater.
2.What can we learn about AMPHIBIO?
A. It can produce oxygen in the water.
B. Its user can communicate with others from their mind.
C. It is the unique useful tool against the threat of rising sea levels.
D. The designer drew his inspiration from a certain natural species.
3.Why did the author mentioned the rescue of the boys in Thailand?
A. To present the success of the new device.
B. To compare the new device with the old one.
C. To prove the advantage of the new device.
D. To show the new device is easily 3D-printable.
4.What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new design?
A. Objective. B. indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
