I was born to dance I've been dancing all my life, ever since my mother, who gave up a dancing career on the stage when she married my father, picked me up and twirled me around as an infant As much as I loved dancing with her, her greatest gift to me was her "unconditional love" during her lifetime
My parents divorced after only years of marriage, but my father remarried a lovely lady who also loved to dance They used to take me to a dancing club where I would listen to the music and watch them dance-occasionally my stepmother, Mary, invited me to dance I also met my wife, Charlotte, in a dancing party I danced with her for about 15 minutes, and during that brief span, I realized that I fell in love with her We kept dancing throughout our marriage My earliest memories of dancing with my daughters started when I came home from work to our small home in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and my daughter Laura was about years old It was very relaxing for me To turn on the record player, pick up Laura in my arms, and dance her around the room!
(50)As their father, I have tried to provide my daughters with unconditional love, as my Mother provided to me, endless emotional and loving support, and good educations and life experiences which have helped prepare them for happy and successful adult lives Being a father who is worthy of their love and respect, I consider fatherhood a privilege, not an entitlement
In 1994, my oldest daughter Laura gave me a lovely book, which I still have, entitled "Fathers and Daughters." My Father's Day suggestion to every father is to dance with your daughters at every opportunity It will not only bring you closer, it will give them memories of you “to hang onto" long after we are gone

When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general They basically have the same roots In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you You not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles Talk with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression Let her understand you better through the things that you like Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences

Exerciser 5:
Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words It includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a person's lifetime Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the nonverbal to communicate As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not cease to exist although become entwined in the total communication process

A have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books B can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature C have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child
D communicate in nonverbal language much less than they in verbal language The word reading has a close meaning to
(53)Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and face are the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control 'It is estimated that there are over 200.000physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit We tend to be more relaxed with friends or when addressing those of lower status Body orientation also indicates status or liking of the other individual More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or reject the spoken word If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate

A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans In hot deserts, high temperatures cause rapid loss of water due to sweating, and the absence of water sources with which to replenish it can result in dehydration and death within a few days In addition, unprotected humans are also at risk from heatstroke
Humans may also have to adapt to sandstorms in some deserts, not just in their adverse effects on respiratory systems and eyes, but also in their potentially harmful effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles and communication equipment Sandstorms can last for hours, sometimes even days
Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts 'their home for thousands of years, including the Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people Modern technology, including advanced irrigation systems, desalinization and air conditioning, has made deserts much more hospitable, In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming has found extensive use
In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the absence of a source of heat to melt ice for drinking Falling through pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent rapid hypothermia Starvation is also a hazard; in low temperatures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat and to move As with hot deserts, some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts

Asian elephants used to live in the forests from Iraq to Southern China Since these forests were cut down to make room for farms and villages, the elephants had to live in small, hilly regions These small areas cannot supply enough food for them An adult elephant eats about 331 pounds of grasses, leaves and other plants each day When forests were larger, Asian elephants migrated with the seasons In this way, they found new food supplies The plants and trees could also grow again after elephants left
Today, there is nowhere for the elephants to go Experts say that the Asian elephant population is about 55,000 living on a habitat of about 19,000 square miles (30,400 square kilometres) In contrast to this, the African elephant population is about 10 times this size and live on almost million square miles (4.8 million square kilometers) of available habitat

By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today In recent centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities The passenger pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its extinction in 1914 The North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate Bison survive today only because of the efforts of early conservationists
Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever An essential task that falls to present-day conservationists is to determine which species are most, endangered, so that conservation resources' can be applied where action is needed most Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild is threatened World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall mainly within the two most serious categories of- threat: critically endangered and endangered What threatens these species' existence? Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs The list which conservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we not yet know Hundreds of species without common names have been left out, which means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are included
Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the humble thick-shell pond snail Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of life All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and beauty of our world is diminished And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens people as well According to the first paragraph _

C was raised by settlers in 1800s D has escaped from extinction thanks to conservationists Species are categorized _
A to prevent hunting B to provide food
C to destroy their habitats D to give preferential right to conserve Which sentence is true?
A Medicine is not a factor to cause species extinction
B The list which conservationists present does not include all kinds of species C Pollution does nothing to species extinction
(64)5 According to the last paragraph, _
A species extinction has no relationship to human beings
B what threaten plants and animals can nothing to human beings C human beings depend on natural resources to survive
D not every, species has a role in the circle of life Exercise 21:
