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

　　Body language passes on ideas or thoughts by certain action， either on purpose or not. A wink(眨眼) can be a way of indication that the party is only joking. A nod means one agrees，while shaking the head indicates “No”.

　　Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips)， signal flags， Morse code (莫尔斯电码) and Smoke signals.

　　When I was a boy， I belonged to the Boy Scouts（童子军），so I used to go camping every summer， and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.

　　We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving， we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river， we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs(悬崖). If someone wanted to reach the river at this point， he had to walk past our camp.

　　Several days later， the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon， we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire， eating and talking， when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange， but， because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid， no one said anything.

　　We ate rather slowly， taking as long as possible. After finishing， we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river — we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once， we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.
