Ss: Yes, Thousands of Hands Kwan-yin.T: But do you know who she is? Yes, she was the leading dancer of the program. Her name is Tai Lihua（邰丽华）. She is called a Fairy of Peach blossom(桃花仙子) by people. You know she is a deaf girl, but she is a wise, diligent, charming and energetic girl. She studied very hard and got two degrees of bachelors in university. She was famous as an artist for her wonderful performance. She is deaf and dumb. But how did she get that great achievement and became a successful person? She loves life very much. We should learn from her spirit. Besides her hard working, body language plays a very important part in her life. We are all healthy people, sometimes we can use body language to express ourselves. So we should pay more attention to learning body languages.

Period 5-6 Grammar
Grammar
Structure Study
一: V-ing 形式由 “do＋ing” 构成, 其否定形式是 “not doing”, V-ing 可以带宾语或状语构成 V-ing 短语, 没有人称和数的变化, 但有时态和语态的变化。
V-ing 形式在句中作定语和状语是本单元的学习重点。
1. 作定语 ：V-ing 形式可以单独充当名词的前置修饰语, 这时有两种情况。
1)-ing形式表示 “供作..之用”的意思, 这类作定语的-ing形式过去叫动名词。
A swimming pool= a pool for swimming
2) -ing形式表示 “......的” 意思, 过去叫现在分词
A sleeping child working people the rising sun
-ing形式短语作定语时一般放在它所修饰的名词之后, 相当于一个定语从句。如:
They are visitors coming from several countries.
The boy standing there is a classmate of mine.
2. 作状语：可以表示时间, 原因, 结果,条件, 行为方式或伴随动作等。
-ing形式作状语时, 它的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语是一致的。
Time permitting, I will pay a visit to the whole city.
(分词的逻辑主语是time , 而句子的主语是I , 两者不构成主谓关系, 所以只能用独立主格结构, 也就是给现在分词补充一个主语。)
Peroid 7-8 Learning Language
1. Some more information about Body Language:
to nod consent 点头表示同意，to nod one’s farewell 点头表示告别，
to nod as a sign of agreement or as a familiar greeting 点头表示赞同或打招呼，
to hold one’s head high 昂首挺胸(表示趾高气扬)，
to shake one’s fist 挥动拳头(表示威胁)，
to shake one’s head 摇头(表示不知道)，to show a V sign 由食指和中指构成字母“V”，而“V”是victory的第一个字母。祝愿胜利或庆祝胜利之意。
to wink at a person 向某人眨眼睛，to make a face 面部露出厌恶的表情，
to shrug one’s shoulders 耸耸肩膀 (表示冷淡或怀疑)，
to keep (or have) one’s fingers crossed 把中指叠在食指上交叉着，作十字状。这是暗中希望上帝保佑自己正在做的事成功。
to crook a finger 朝某人弯曲食指。是招人过来的意思。
更有趣的是英美人用大拇指 (thumb) 做出许多不同的表示。
to thumb one’s nose 以大拇指按鼻，其余四指张开，表示轻视。在英美等国家，你会看到这种手势经常用在调皮的孩子们中间。他们用大拇指点着自己的鼻子，而其他四指张开不停地摇动，表示轻蔑或嘲弄。也可以说“to cock a snook at somebody”.
to twiddle one’s thumbs 无聊地绕动着两个大拇指，表示无所事事，懒散。
thumbs down 大拇指朝下表反对或拒绝。thumbs up 翘起大拇指，表赞成或夸奖。
但值得一提的是在英美等西方国家，有时会看到有人站在马路边，朝驶过来的车辆伸出一只翘起大拇指的拳头。这是请求搭便车的意思。所以搭车也可以说“to thumb a lift”。
