Module 11 听说训练

听以下短文一遍，给你50秒钟的时间准备，然后模仿朗读。当听到"开始录音"的信号后，请在70秒钟内朗读短文，当听到要求"停止录音"的信号时，应立即停止朗读。

W: Today we often see people shake hands with each other. Why do people shake hands? Why don't they shake feet or other parts of the body? Here is the story. A long time ago, people used dangerous things while fighting for their food or land. If some of them decided to stop, they would show there were no dangerous things in their hands. People shook hands to show there weren't these things in any part of their clothes. Later, shaking hands became a way to show peace. Now we shake hands all the time. It is still a way to show we are friendly.
