people with great confi dence. AN APRI L FOOL’S JOKE: THE NOODLE HARVEST April Fool ’s day, or April 1st, i s known i n many countri es as a day for pl aying jokes on others. It i s usual y a tim e when chi l dren m ake fun of each other, but som etim es other people can get caught i n the fun too. One of the most fam ous jokes i n Engl and took pl ace on Bri tish tel evi sion i n 1957. It was a Monday ni ght when there were al ways m any seri ous programm es on the tel evi si on. O ne of them was cal ed Panoram a, thi s show expl ored probl em s and progres al l over the worl d, so nobody was surpri sed when i t began wi th a report on the excel ent noodl e harvest i n the south Swi tzerl and. The programm e m enti oned two reasons for the good crop: an unusual y warm wi nter and the di sappearance of the i nsect that attacked the noodl e crop every year. The reporter showed m any noodl e trees with the farm ers pul i ng noodl es off them and puti ng them i nto baskets. The peopl e watchi ng were tol d that they m ay not have heard of noodl es from thi s part of the worl d because noodl es were grown as part of sm al fami l y busi nesses. The program me m akers m akers real ized that peopl e m i ght wonder why noodl es were al ways the sam e si ze so that they explai ned that “it was the result of m any years’ patient research with the tree to produce noodles of exactl y the sam e l ength. ” But even so they explai ned, the l ife of a noodl e farmer was not easy. “The l ast two weeks of March are an anxious tim e for noodl e farm ers. There i s al ways a chance of very col d weather spoiling their crop. Then it is difficul t for them to get top prices on the m arkets.” Many peopl e i n England bel i eved thi s story. They rang the BBC to fi nd out hoe to grow thei r own noodl e tree. They were tol d to “place a piece of noodl e in a tin of tom ato sauce and hope for the best.” This m ay seem very sil y, but in the 1950s very few Briti sh peopl e travel led aboard for thei r hol i days and even fewer of them ate noodles. So i t seem ed possi bl e to im agi ne that noodl es grew on tree l i ke appl es, pears and nuts. Peopl e al so trusted the Panoram a programm e for i ts careful research and seri ous i nform ation. So they were shocked to find the next day that they had al l bel ieved an April Fool’s joke. Even today the report of the noodl e harvest is rem em bered as one of the best April Fool’s jokes ever! Unit 4 Com muni cati on: No Pr obl em ? Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university’s student asociation, went to the Capital International Airport to m eet this year’s i nternational students. They were i ng to study at Beiji ng Universi ty. We shoul d take them fi rst to thei r dormi tori es and then to the student cantee. After an hour of wai ti ng for their fl i ght to ari ve, I saw several young peopl e enter the wai ti ng area l oki ng around curi ousl y. I stood for a m i nute watchi ng them and then went to greet them. The fi rst person to arri ve was Tony Garci a from Col um bi a, closely fol lowed by Juli a Smi th from Bri tai n. After I m et them and then i ntroduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Jul i a, touched her shoul der and ki ssed her on the cheek! She stepped back appeari ng surpri sed and put up her hands, as if i n defence. I guessed that there was probabl y a m ajor mi sunderstandi ng. Then Aki ra N agata from Japan cam e i n smi li ng, together wi th Gee Cook from Canada. As they were i ntroduced, Gee reached hi s hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that m om ent, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched Gee’s m oving hand. They both apol ogized another cul tural mi stake! Ahm ed Aziz, another i nternati onal student, was from Jordan. When we m et yesterday, he m oved very cl ose to m e as I i ntroduced myself. I m oved back a bi t, but he cam e cl oser to ask a questi on and then shook m y hand. When Darl ene Coul on from France came dashi ng through the door, she recogni zed Tony Garci a39。 s smi li ng face. They shook hand and then ki ssed each other twi ce on each cheek, si nce that i s the France custom when adults m eet peopl e they know. Ahm ed Azi z, on the contrary, sim ply nodded at the girl s. Men from Mi dl e Eastern and other Muslim countri es wi l often stand qui te cl ose to other m en to tal k but wil l usual y not touch wom en. As I get to know more international friends, I l earn m ore about this cul tural “body l anguage”. Not al l cul tures greet each other the sam e way, nor are they fortabl e i n the sam e way wi th touchi ng or di stance between peopl e. In the sam e way that people m unicate with spoken l anguage, they al so express their feelings using unspoken “language” through physical di stance, acti ons or posture. Engli sh peopl e, for exam pl e, do not usual y stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they m eet. H owever, peopl e from pl aces l i ke Spain, Ital y or South Ameri can countri es approach others cl osel y and are m ore l i kel y to touch them . Most peopl e around the worl d now greet each other by shaki ng hands, but som e cul tures use other greetings as wel l, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow. These acti ons are not good or bad, but are sim ply ways in which cul tures have devel oped. I have seen, however, that cultural custom s for body l anguage are very general not al l m em bers of a culture behave i n the sam e way. In general , though, studyi ng i nternati onal custom s can certai nl y hel p avoid difficul ties in today’s worl d cul tural crosroads! Showi ng our feel ings Body language i s one of the m ost powerful s of m uni cati on, often even m ore powerful than spoken l anguage. Peopl e around the worl d show al knds of feli ngs, wi shes and attitudes that they mi ght never speak al oud. It i s possi bl e to “read” others around us,。
