7、e Gaudis Church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gaudi was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at the same time.

8、ned houses, offices and gardens. They were all very unusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said, “Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay.

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying

14、. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry.
