Hannay was nervous. His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He
had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?
Hannay walked along the country for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing
the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”
“My head hurts,” the worker said, “I can’t do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday,
and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That’s the problem!”
Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.
“Yes, and I would be,” he replied,“”but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was
coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I’ll be in trouble.”
Suddenly Hannay had bright idea--he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.
“You go off to bed,” Hannay said, “I’ll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”
The road worker was pleased with this idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to
sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the worker’s hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an
hour later he heard a voice.“Are you the road worker?” it asked.

drove off. Hannay continued with his work.

BODY language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements
communicate about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7 per cent. So, while
your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying...
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your
arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes
your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to
their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are monitor in class, you can also take
on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking,
you must move your head a little to one side.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at
interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally
don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you
feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips (噘起嘴). You might also use this position to hold
back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know
you're not pleased.

A. three B. four C. five D. six

I know you will take part in an English speaking contest next week. I have some advice for you. First, please
keep smiling. I think it can show your confidence and make a good impression on the listeners. Second, when
you’re speaking, remember to make eye contact with your listeners. It’s the key to a successful speech.
However, don’t stare at others because it’s impolite. Third, it’s necessary to use some gestures, it will help you
express your meaning better on stage. Lastly, don’t forget to say “thank you” to your listeners at the end of
the speech. I am sure you can do a good job in the contest. Look forward to your success.
