2、fic. In 1868, in London, a signal was installed (安装) at the crossing of George Street and Bridge Street, near Parliament. This provided walkers with a safe crossing.The system contained a semaphore（信号标） a tall post with moveable arms. When the arms were positioned sideways it meant stop. After dark,
3、 a gas light was lit at the top. The green colored glass meant go, while red meant stop. At first, signals were controlled by hand, with officers deciding when the signals should be changed according to traffic flow. They blew a whistle to warn drivers that the signal was going to change.- 2 -Howeve
4、r, in 1869, a traffic signal exploded following a leak（泄露）in one of the gas lines below, severely injuring the policeman operating it. This led to the semaphore project being dropped in London.

5、ights. Two years later, the first electric signal was installed in Cleveland. It was based on a design by James Hoge and allowed the police and firefighters to control the signals in case of emergencies.In Detroit, William Potts, also a police officer, looked to adapt railroad signals to be used on
6、streets and developed a system with red, yellowish brown and green lights.

While she could have been very intelligent, her body language sent out very different messages. Her handshake was more of a finger shaker, and her eye contact was weak.T
11、o Jenny, what the candidate said didnt matter because her body language said everything: she wasnt suitable for the position. The candidate may have been quite appropriate(合适的), but she didnt manage to get that across. So our body language may not do us justice. But there are some signals which are
12、very common and are worth a thousand words.For example, a handshake can say much more than “hello, nice to meet you”. The most important part of a handshake is palm-to-palm contact.
