The program me m enti oned two reasons for the good crop: an unusual l y warm wi nter and the di sapearance of the i nsect that attacked the nodl e crop every year. The reporter showed m any noodle trees wi th the farm ers pul ing nodl es off them and putti ng them into baskets. The peopl e watchi ng were tol d that they may not have heard of noodl es from thi s part of the worl d because noodl es were grown as part of sm al famil y busi neses. The programm e m akers m akers reali zed that peopl e mi ght wonder why noodl es were al ways the sam e si ze so that they expl ained that “i t was the resul t of m any years’ pati ent research wi th the tree to produce noodl es of exactl y the sam e l ength.” But even so they expl ained, the li fe of a noodl e farm er was not easy. “The last two weeks of March are an anxi ous ti me for noodl e farm ers. There i s al ways a chance of very col d weather spoi li ng thei r crop. Then i t i s di ffi cult for them to get top pri ces on the m arkets.” Many peopl e i n Engl and beli eved this story. They rang the BBC to fi nd out hoe to grow thei r own nodl e tree. They were tol d to “pl ace a pi ece of nodl e i n a tin of tom ato sauce and hope for the best. ” Thi s m ay seem very sil l y, but i n the 1950s very few Bri tish peopl e travel ed aboard for thei r hol idays and even fewer of them ate noodl es. 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 Panorama program me for i ts careful research and seri ous i nform ati on. So they were shocked to fi nd the next day that they had al beli eved an Apri l Fool ’s joke. Even today the report of the noodl e harvest i s rem em bered as one of the best April Fool’s jokes ever! Unit 4 Com municati on: No Probl em ? Yesterday, another student and I, representi ng our universi ty’s student associ ati on, went to the Capi tal Internati onal Ai rport to m eet thi s year’s i nternational students. They were i ng to study at Bei jing Uni versi ty. We shoul d take them fi rst to thei r dorm itories and then to the student cantee. After an hour of wai ti ng for thei r fli ght to arri ve, I saw several young peopl e enter the wai ti ng area l ooki 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, cl osel y fol owed by Jul i a Sm i th from Bri tai n. After I m et them and then i ntroduced them to each other, I was very surpri sed. Tony approached Jul i a, touched her shoul der and ki ssed her on the cheek! She stepped back appeari ng surprised and put up her hands, as i f i n defence. I guessed that there was probabl y a m ajor m isunderstandi 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, Aki ra bowed so hi s nose touched Gee’s m oving hand. They both apol ogi zed another cul tural mi stake! Ahm ed Azi z, 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 m ysel f. I moved back a bit, but he cam e closer to ask a questi on and then shook m y hand. When Darl ene Coul on from France cam e dashi ng through the door, she recogni zed Tony Garci a39。 began with a report on the excel l ent noodl e harvest i n the south Swi tzerl and.
