11、uple who were also paying for gas.I took off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted

12、 on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me. Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years l

13、ater，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon，I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day，and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealershipa shop selling carswas right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in

14、 the showroom. “Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.

18、 food when he started to hear strange noises. Turning on the headlights， he saw an 8-foot-tall creature covered in thick， dark hair. The creature stared at him for a minute， turned in the road and walked off slowly into the woods. In the past 50 years alone， there have been thousands of reported sig

19、htings of similar creatures in the US， Canada， the Himalayas(喜马拉雅山地区)and even Hubei Province in China. The creature is known as bigfoot. Bigfoot is said to be a very tall(between 2 and 4. 5 metres)， ape-like(类人猿似的)creature that is covered in hair and walks upright on two legs. It is very wary(警惕的)of

20、 human beings. Believers think bigfoot is a direct descendent(后代)of ancient gigantopithecus(巨猿). But it remains one of the planets undiscovered secrets.

21、eople have even showed what they say with photos or films of bigfoot. But so far， no one has found bones or any other definite proof that the giant creature exists.

A. apes B. bearsC. gigantopithecus D. people dressed in animal skinsCThere are two main types of nonverbal communication. Body language is the first. Body language is body movements that

26、 depend on a persons attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk，how they stand，and their facial features. In other words，any kind of meaning is shown by a persons attitude or body movements. For example，when a boy is sad he may drop his head and walk slowly. Or，if a girl is hap

27、py，she might run and jump or stand up straight and put her hands in the air. People dont have to say anything to show how they feel about things. The colour of peoples skin may even show how they feel. For example，if people with light coloured skin get embarrassed，their skin may turn red，or if they
