7、istory. Gaudi was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at the same time. He often missed classes because he had to work, but one day he designed a very unusual showcase for an exhibition in Paris. People began to give him work. He designed houses, offices and gardens. They were all very u
8、nusual. 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. I will build schools and workshops, too. They will help the people. “ “I will do it,“ said Guadi. He worked for forty years, but he could not finish the church. It
9、 was too big. He needed $ 10,000,000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor again when he died in 1926, and only the front part of the church was finished.

13、s our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, t
14、igers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “ he went pale and begin t
15、o tremble“ suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “ he opened his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “ they stretched out their tongues!“ Stickin
16、g out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings.
