19、 what she managed to make out of four simple sea containers is exceptional! Wed - 5 - definitely like a home like this, how about you? As a general contractor(总承包人), Canadian Claudie Dubreuil makes a nice living out of building apartments and traditional wood houses. Unfortunately, building these ty

20、pes of houses didnt provide her with enough of a creative challenge. So, when it came to designing and building her own house, she didnt choose the familiar option. Instead, she picked a very special and modern approach to her new home. Claudie decided to design a home based on metal sea containers.

21、 With this decision, she didnt choose the easiest route. In fact, she met with a lot of obstacles during the process. For example, it was very difficult to find an engineer who had the resources and abilities to cut through the sea containers and to install doors and windows in them. She was turned

26、orkers on an oil rig(石油钻塔)noticed the animal, all alone in the water. He began swimming toward the side of the structure. The dog was able to get himself onto a solid area. - 6 - He appeared cold, tired and fearful. The workers lowered a rope and secured it around the dog. Then, they worked together

27、 to pull the animal up to safety. The crew that found the dog quickly gave their new friend a name: Boonrod. The name means something similar to “survivor“ in the Thai language. One of those workers was Vitisak Payalaw. He has been providing updates on Boonrod on his Facebook page. He said it was lu

28、cky that the crew noticed the dog in the water. If there had been waves, he said, the animal likely would not have been seen. No one knows how Boonrod ended up all alone at sea, or how long he had been out there. But Vitisak and others suggested the animal might have fallen off a fishing boat. On Mo

29、nday, Boonrod arrived on dry land. A team of animal doctors were waiting for him in the southern Thai province of Songkhla. Workers at the Songkhla port also welcomed the dog with a special “welcome“ necklace made of yellow flowers. Many people took pictures with Boonrod. Vitisak wrote on Facebook,

30、“Today (April 15 ), Boonrods overall condition has improved. He is getting stronger.” The dog is now in the care of an animal doctor in Songkhla. The animal protection group Watchdog Thailand said,“ He is in good condition and getting stronger.”On Tuesday, the group published pictures of Boonrod get

31、ting washed-and getting plenty of love and attention. Vitisak says that if no one claims Boonrod as their pet, he will take him to his home in northeast Thailand. 28.

34、k anyone, none will remember how they started doing it, it just comes naturally. But what might not flow as smoothly as words, is body language. Its a whole different deal when youre using your hands, eyes or head instead of your tongue. And what makes it even more complicated is the fact that body

35、language differs all around the world. I find it shockingly amazing how just a small finger gesture could mean one thing in the east and the completely opposite in the west. For instance, in Japan bowing is the most common greeting. It shows respect and Japanese pay a lot of attention to the details

36、 like the timing, posture and movement. A bow in Japan represents sincerity, respect and graciousness. While in New Zealand Maori, the pressing of noses and foreheads is the traditional greeting.

37、own often means agreement, but not for the Bulgarians or Greeks. In both cultures, nodding ones head up and down actually means “no“.

38、erica as a “come here“ and the American “come here“ gesture would actually be seen as an insult (侮辱)in most of Asia.
