contact around sixty to seventy percent of the time. Any more than this and you can be too intense, any less and you signal a lack of interest in the person or their conversation. 17 : get your posture right and you39。 11 automatically start feeling better. Next time you notice you39。 re feeling a bit depressed, take a look at how you39。 re standing or sitting. Chances are you39。 11 be slouched over with your shoulders hanging down and inwards. This flattens the chest and prevents good breathing, which in turn can make you feel and look nervous or unfortable. 18 . When you want to be authoritative and what you39。 re saying to be taken seriously, keep your head straight both horizontally and vertically. Conversely, when you want to be friendly and in a receptive, listening mode, tilt your head just a little to one side or other. 19 , so keep your arms out to the side of your body or behind your back. This shows you are not scared to take on whatever es your way. In general terms the more outgoing you are as a person, the more you tend to use big arm movements. The quieter you are, the less you move your arms away from your body. So try to strike a natural balance. When you want to e across in the best possible light, crossing the arms is a no no. Obviously if someone says something that really annoys you , then by all means show your disapproval by crossing them! 6 20 , consequently they39。 re the hardest bits of our bodies to control consciously. They tend to move around a lot more than normal when we are nervous or being deceptive. So it39。s best to keep them as still as possible in most situations. Be careful too in the way you cross your legs. Do you cross at the knees, ankles or bring one leg up to rest on the knee of the other?

(2 points each , 10 points) Today a neighbor brought us some fresh fish he had caught on his last boat trip. As we thanked him, he said, ?They are not from me。 they only e through me. 39。 At that moment I noticed the similarity between fish and haiku. Nowadays, if Mom doesn39。 t ever serve fish for dinner at least the kids get a taste of haiku at school. For most of us, our 163。irst introduction es from reading translations from Japanese, which is a bit like paring sushi to frozen fish sticks. Even with the knowledge of the exotic, most poets stick to the meat and potatoes of English literature. It often isn39。 t until we get older that we accept the simple goodness of fish , adding them to the menu more often. Having acquired a taste for fish and learned how to cook them, one is better able to appreciate the short form of haiku. Like fishing , haiku writing can be done with minimal equipment.

We can either eat everything we catch and publish what feels right, or we can read books containing others39。 experiences while making up our minds about what kind of fish to go for. If we pare spending days on rough seas to fish or strolling on the beach writing haiku。 it is very easy for me to decide where my interest lies. Still I do love a fish dinner and I hope my neigl1bor enjoys my latest poems. 21. The similarity between fishing and writing haiku the text does NOT mention is _________. A. the freedom to choose what we do with the product of each activity B. the delayed appreciation of both activities C. the thrill experienced when engaging in them D. the limited resources req
