Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication．Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech．When there is a language barrier(障碍), communication is completed through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas．Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to turn to this form of expression．Many of these symbols of whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot．

　　 Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not．A wink(眨眼) can be a way of showing that the party is only joking．A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement．

　　 Other forms of nonlinguistic(非语言的) language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals．Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people．While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings．

(A)

HAMBURG-Germans like to spend their leisure (闲暇) time with friends in a generally cozy (舒适的) atmosphere, accord­ing to a nationwide survey published in the mass-circulation (发行量大) Sonntag newspaper.

Four out of five of those asked put meeting friends at the top of the list of things they like doing most in their spare time (78 per cent).

Visits to a restaurant are popular too (71 per cent), followed by going to the cinema (62 per cent), or going out for a drink at a pub or bar (61 per cent).

The top of the after-work pursuits list for the 21 to 30-year-olds is visiting friends (90 per cent) compared to 78 per cent for the 14 to 20-year-olds.
