He has called from his office to say that he is on the way. His wife is preparing supper. He can see the light shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to fire and hot milk. It is a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy ground in a pool of his own blood.　　It doesn39。t happen very often, but it does happen in the capital city of the United States. It is more likely to happen in the neardeserted city center at night. What happened to him could happen to any of us.　　Senator Stennis, who is 71, got out of his white Buick at 7:40 . outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said, Get out! Money, please.　　He followed the order. He handed over his wallet containing several cards, a gold watch and the only money he had in his pockets—twentyseven cents. The youths also said, Now, we39。re going to shoot you anyway. Anyway they did. One bullet （子彈）hit him in the leg and struck the bone. The other entered his chest just below the upper pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.　　Strangely he made it across a tenmeter distance, up eight steps and along twenty more feet of stone path. His wife met him at the door, and saw two men running. The senator told her to call the police and the doctor.　　The senator is powerful political figure, but it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was.

We can learn about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms, or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings.Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. Making eye contact —looking directly into someone’s eyes — is in some countries a way to show interest. In other countries, however, eye contact is rude or disrespectful. The gesture for Ok, making a circle with one’s thumb and index finger, has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who sees another person making the gesture will think it means money. In France, a person seeing the same gesture will think it means zero. In Brazil and Germany, however, the gesture is rude. The thumbsup gesture, meaning “great” or “good job” in the US is rude in Nigeria, but in Germany and Japan it means the number one.

There are also differences as to how often we touch each other, how close we
