Not all language is verbal (言语的). Some of our communication occurs without words. We often use our entire bodies for communication. We may raise our eyebrows (眉毛) to indicate
surprise. Perhaps we nod our heads to show that we agree with something. There are hundreds of nonverbal signals that can be used to communicate. These signals are part of language, and they are governed by rules in the same way that our spoken language is. For this reason, people who
speak different languages often use different nonverbal signals as well.
In addition to verbal communication and the type of nonverbal communication discussed
above, there are other message systems that we use to communicate. When we speak to some people, we may stand very close to them, while we may stand far away from other people. Use of space, then, is a way we can communicate the relationship we feel with another person. The way we dress can also communicate for us. The person who wears dirty jeans (牛仔裤) and a T-shirt communicates a different attitude from a person who wears neat trousers and an attractive shirt. We can even use time to communicate. The person who is on time for an appointment shows a different attitude from the person who is an hour late does. Can you think of other message systems from we use?

My mother never let herself get down; no matter how bad things were, she stayed cheerful.
Even though we had a hard life, she still maintained the attitude that everything was fine. I remember her coming home tired from her job at the restaurant and saying that we were lucky. We didn?t have a lot of clothes or toys, but my mother always made sure we enough to eat.
Her love and devotion for my brother and me made our lack of material possessions seem
insignificant. Even today, if I were given a choice between having love at home and no wealth, I would want it just the way I had it. I grew up poor in material things but rich in love.
Since my father was never around long enough to teach me physical things or to play
games with me, I didn?t succeed in any competitive sport. My mother did her best as a substitute, throwing a ball with me in the lot (空地) behind our house, but it wasn?t the same. She was too protective of me, and I didn?t have enough confidence in my own abilities to really try anything physically demanding.

Recent fires have destroyed much of Indonesian forests and pose the latest threat to the survival of the endangered orangutans (红毛猿). Thirty orangutans fleeing their burning forest home have been killed by villagers, who see the animals as crop raiders. Orangutan mothers have been killed so that their young can be captured and sold into the illegal wildlife pet trade. Orangutan experts continue to receive orangutan infants whose mothers have been killed while searching for food in plantations and fields.
The fires, caused by drought and coupled with fire-setting methods to clear forests, have destroyed more than two million acres. When fire gets into the rainforests? layer of dry peat (partly decayed plant material which covers the soil), it can burn slowly off and on for months or years after the original fire. These fires continue until heavy rainfall soaks the peat through and through. Orangutans once numbered in the hundreds of thousands, but their population has dropped to roughly 2500 due to fire, the destruction of forests from felling trees for timber and agriculture, and losses linked to the live-animal trade. Before the fires, only 40 percent of the orangutans original habitat remained, and now, their habitat has become even smaller.
Choose the best answer from the following four suggested answers marked A), B), C), and D). （从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出正确的答案。）

A) will not end until it starts to rain B) will be eventually put out by human effort C) will die out in a few days when the winds stop blowing D) will only stop when the peat is totally wet 3. What is the best title for this passage?
A) Fires Drive Orangutans to Danger B) Orangutans Are Precious Animals
