A recent research by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal
behavior might help predict future earthquakes. They found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer
radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly:

evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death at a lower level.

Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes.
They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who
live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm
passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is
considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains
associated with a hurrican cause enormous damage.
Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they carry
tremendous power with driving rain and wind.
Tornadoes are violent low- pressured storms. These storms occur most often during the
summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as
dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the
ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such
as homes and railway cars.
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and
property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot
be stopped or ignored.

Giving positive nonverbal messages can improve your relationship with your child and
develop emotional connections in your family. Most children love being hugged and kissed, for
example. This warm and caring body language sends the nonverbal message that you want to
be close to your child. Some children with special needs – for example, children with autism
and sensory sensitivities –might find body contact difficult.
On the other hand, negative nonverbal communication – for example, a grumpy tone of
voice or a frown –when you're doing something fun together might send the message that you
don't really want to be there.
So matching your verbal and nonverbal communication makes your words more
effective. For example, a teacher might explain a maths problem using her hands to show size
and shape.
But when verbal and nonverbal messages don't match, your child might believe the later
– after all, what you see is what you get. Your child learns a lot about nonverbal communication
by watching you. For example, if you approach new people in a relaxed way, your child is more
likely to do the same.
26. A hug or a kiss sends the message that _____.
A. I want to be near
B. I want to be emotional C. I want to be ignored D. I want to be

A. contact physically

D. I don’t want
to be ignored

A. Combining verbal and nonverbal communication

Reporter: Dr Minh Vu, what exactly is ‘netiquette’?
Dr Minh Vu: The word is a combination of ‘net’ and ‘etiquette’. It’s a of rules for behaving
properly online.
Reporter: Could you tell us the main rule of netiquette?
Dr Minh Vu: Remember that the people we’re communicating with online are real people.
Don’t say and do unpleasant things online. just like in real life.
Reporter: But sometimes perhaps it’s not what we communicate, but how communicate...?
Dr Minh Vu: Absolutely. For example, if you write emails, or post comments using CAPS
LOCK, this means you are shouting at people!
Reporter: Of course it’s not polite at all. What else should we do when sending emails?
Dr Minh Vu: Check your message for spelling mistakes before you send it. It shows respect
towards the other person. Don't use too much shorthand. This may confuse your reader.
Reporter: How about behaviour in chat rooms and on message boards?
Dr Minh Vu: Follow discussion rules. Use polite language. People may not know who you

I think the inhabitants of Jupiter may be very different to human beings. This is how imagine
them: They may be much bigger and more powerful than humans. Jupiterians may have eight
legs and be able to move very fast. They may have a lot of hair all over their bodies and their
skin might be very thick so they can live in temperatures of around -145 degrees Celsius. They
may have four eyes and be able to see very far. They may also have a very good sense of smell
and they may even be able to sense others’ feelings like happiness or fear. And I don’t think
they eat and drink like us. Instead, they get all their energy from the rocks. They may charge
their bodies by plugging their feet into the rock, just like charging a battery. That way, they
don’t even need to breathe air. The only way they may be similar to us is they live in family
units of parents and children. They may also use language to communicate with each other.
