28、 hug and two kisses on the cheek!

In other words, little personal space is left between people when communicating.At univer
29、sity, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian. And since I moved to live with the local people, I have also started to pick up their body language.

35、 many people are truly crazy about modern idols(偶像)? And on the other side of the coin, is being famous harmful to the celebrities?Studies suggest that most of the teenagers do not really idolize celebrities. Researchers have found three kinds of fans. About 15% of young people have a social interes
36、t. They love chatting about their favorite celebrities with friends and this does not appear to do any harm.Another 5% feel that they have a strong-personal relationship with a celebrity. Sometimes they see them as their soul-mates(心灵伴侣) and find that they are often thinking about them, even when th
