3、stions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on
9、 average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may assume（假定； 设想）that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time
