    Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

    Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head and people know you are saying "No"; you nod and people know you are saying "Yes".

    Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the sea and many other things.

    The long trunk of an elephant is a wonderful example of skill. The neck of four-footed animals is usually long, to have them reach their food without difficulty, but the elephant has a short neck, to make him more easily support the weight of his huge head and heavy teeth. His long trunk lets him get his food easily.

    The trunk of an elephant is to him what the neck is to other animals. It is also a nose to him, for at the end of it there is a empty place like a cup, and in the bottom of the cup are two holes, and the animal smells and breathes through them. It is an arm and a hand too, so that it has been said that the elephant carries his nose in his hand, and it might also have been said that he breathes by his hand.

    At the end of the trunk, there is a strange part, about five inches long, which forms a finger. With this finger the animal can pick up the smallest piece of money from the ground, and he has been taught to make marks like letters with a pen.

    The trunk of a full-grown elephant is about eight feet long. The elephant has such great strength that he can knock down a man with it.

If you argue with your friend, will you forgive him or her? Most people prefer to forgive others, according to the Daily Mail.

Researchers from Yale University, the University of Oxford and University College London have found that we tend to (倾向于) believe that people are good at heart, even when they have behaved badly. .

. The strangers were told that they would receive money if they shocked another person with electricity. The "good" stranger refused the deal and the "bad" one accepted it.

The participants were then asked to judge (评价) the strangers based on their decisions. . But they were not confident that the "bad" stranger was truly bad. If they then saw the bad person do something good, they were more likely to have a positive impression of him or her.. In addition, people are more likely to believe someone is innocent (无辜的), rather than guilty.

This tendency can help us develop and keep healthy social relationships. Sometimes, people behave badly by accident. . But what happens if it is found later that this person is not truly bad? We may have lost a good friend or partner, Molly Crockett from Yale University told the Daily Mai.

A. Scientists believe that it is human nature to see the best in others. B. Forgiving someone is the best way to build healthy relationships. C. But we might get a bad impression of them anyway and therefore end our relationship with them. D. And when these "bad people" do something nice, people will be likely to forgive their previous (之前的) mistakes and have a positive opinion of them. E. They reported having a positive impression of the "good" stranger. F. In an experiment, more than 1,500 participants (参与者) were asked to watch two strangers.

It's no secret that there is a space(空间) problem in Manhattan(曼哈顿). People build up higher and higher buildings because there isn't much land left and there is no room to build out. So people have been building lots of tall and thin buildings. Developers(开发商)are trying to build higher and higher buildings. However, the government has made laws(法律)that don't allow developers to build too high buildings.

Oiio Studio thinks about things differently, "what if our buildings were not tall but long?" So the founder of Oiio Studio, Ioannis Oikonomou, design(设计) a U-shaped building, the Big Bend. It would be a very thin building. It would curve at the top and return to the ground. Oikonomoussaid he thought of the great idea because he learned from a piece of news. It said that a company made a lift that could travel in curves. So he designed the Big Bend. He thought it as "the longest building in the world". It would be 4000 feet from end to end and would need a different lift system.

We can't change the law, _______________. So if we can bend(使弯曲) our building, we would be able to build one of the most amazing buildings in Manhattan," Oiio Studio said.

The Big Bend is just an idea for now. Oikonomous has sent the plans to a few companies, and is looking for developers. If successful, they will build the Big Bend around West 5TStreet, just to the south of Central Park.

    Do you like to play with dominoes? Dominoes are small rectangular (长方形的) pieces made of wood or plastic (塑料). People can place dominoes in different shapes. Then, they push one domino down and the rest of the dominoes fall one by one. It is interesting to watch.

    But placing dominoes is hard. To make sure the dominoes fall smoothly, the space between each domino is important. According to domino—play. com, if a domino is about 4 cm long, then the space between two dominoes should be1—2 cm. If the space is too big, the dominoes will stop falling halfway. If the space is too small, the dominoes will fall too quickly and won't look interesting.

    Beginners can start by putting dominoes in a straight line. This is the easiest shape. Professional (专业的) players can place dominoes in many other shapes, including big circles, beautiful flowers and even famous paintings.
