Who Is James Bond?
The latest Bond film is an enormous box-office (票房) hit. But who is James Bond?Where does he come from? Author lan Fleming, the creator of James Bond, told us somethingabout the origins of the world's most famous secret agent.
In the first Bond novel, lan Fleming told us that James Bond was the son of a Scottishfather and an Asian mother. But perhaps this was not really true. The title of the 19th Bondfilm , "The World Is Not Enough,"was based on the Latin motto of the Bond family, which is mentioned in one of the early novels.However, it now appears that the motto is not that of theScottish Bonds,but that of a different Bond family,who came from England. So perhaps Bond is English, not Scottish.
Bond went to Eton College, the same school as his creator lan Fleming.This is a schoolwhere young people learn how to move in high society, like Bond does so well.
After leaving school, Bond did not go to university.He joined the British Secret Service.He soon got promoted to the top.From then on he was 007,"licensed to kill", and so began acareer which would take him to all the corners of the earth.
In the early days, Bond's role was quite clear. He was working for the West. His main enemies were men from the KGB and other dangerous organizations. Since the end of theCold War, the role of the Service has changed, and Bond's job profile has changed with it.Now his main enemies are the big bosses of organized crime and international terrorism.
Unlike the Cold War, organized crime is unlikely to come to an end. We can therefore besure that James Bond, the best-known English fictional hero of the 20th century, has manymore adventures ahead of him.

Universal Gestures
Gestures for victory , defeat and stress are almost the same in all countries.
On the front page of a newspaper we often see the picture of people holding their head inshock.People put their hands on their head or over their mouth when they look on a scenewith shock or horror.
Chris Ulrich is an expert on body language.He said that covering your mouth or puttingyour hands on your head helps make you feel safer from a perceived threat. By covering partof your face you can feel hidden from the shocking event. Additionally these reactions canhelp a person comfort himself through touch.Ulrich said it is a self comforting gesture to helppeople in the moment.
In times of strong anxiety, people will twist their hands to calm themselves.Ulrich said itis a reaction people often have when they are in front of an audience or nervous.“It's acomfort for them that they'll get through it," said Ulrich. He relates that gesture to a parenttrying to calm a child.
Most athletes react to victories or defeats with specific behaviors. A 2008 studyexamined pictures of judo (柔道) competitors during the 2008 Olympic Games. They werefrom different countries,but they showed similar behaviors when they won a match.Thewinners would throw their head back or raise their hands in triumph. Ulrich said these victorybehaviors are a way winners "explode" out and take up more space.
However,if an athlete suffers a loss, he will act in a way that makes him physicallysmaller, such as hanging his head. "When you lose, you want to disappear,”said Ulrich. Thestudy also found that the judo competitors had the same behavior when they lost.

Little Steps, Big Reward
①More than 145 million Americans take walking as part of their exercise,according to arecent report.That's 15 million more people walking than last year. Many places in Americahave reported an increase in walking.But most of the walkers are found in big cities like NewYork.
②Despite the increase in walking,only about 30% of Americans say they have at least 3hours to take exercise a week.Our society has been conditioned to be inactive.People rely onmodern conveniences and become lazy. The inactive lifestyle has a negative aspect. We aremore likely to be in poor health like overweight,which will threaten our life span. That'swhere walking comes in.
③Walking is the best way to improve our health.Just 30 minutes of regular quick walkingcan help lose weight.At the same time, it can help lower the risk of heart disease and somecancers, and improve our blood pressure.If 30 minutes is too much,we may divide it intothree 10-minute parts during the day. Most of us can find 10 minutes if we really try.
④Walking requires only a pair of shoes and suits any schedules. Keep a pair of sport shoesat work. If you have a few minutes of free time, make use of them to take a quick walk.Evenif you go to a health club several times a week, you can still look for ways to be active while at work. It may be walking downstairs for a direct talk rather than sending an email.
⑤Small efforts can make a big difference.But the hardest part for us is getting started.It'susually like this. When people get to a comfort level of walking for 10 minutes, they mightthink about trying 11 minutes. That first step is really worthy.
21. Reports say that the walkers are mostly from___________.
22.Many diseases are largely caused by ___________.
23. We can keep healthy by taking ___________.
