2. These are the words to a song from the musical play Carousel.

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark,

At the end of the storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.* * a bird

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,

And you'll never walk alone,

You'll never walk alone!

What is the relationship between hope and courage?

What is the relationship between hope and courage?

UNIT 5

THE MOUTH

RE READING

The mouth includes the lips, teeth, and tongue. Children often use their tongues to show that they don't like something or someone. They do this by making their tongues stick out of their mouths. For example, children who are angry might stick their tongues out at each other.

Children might also stick out their tongues when they taste food that they don't like. Adults rarely use this gesture. (Note: you can say "stick one's tongue out" or "stick out one's tongue.")

People are sometimes so surprised or shocked by something that they can't speak. Their mouths open, but no words come out. When this happens, we say that they are standing there with their mouths hanging open. Suppose, for example, that someone comes to your door and gives you a check for one million dollars. What do you do? Do you stand there with your mouth hanging open?

Sometimes we want to say something to another person, but we don't want others to hear us. Maybe we want to tell a secret, or maybe we don't want to disturb other people. So we move our mouths to form

the words, but we don't make any sound. We call this mouthing the words. The other person can understand by "reading our lips." (If you mouth the words, be sure the message is short. Otherwise, the other person will find it difficult to understand.)

We can use this expression when we don't believe someone. We say, "He says he'll help us, but he's just mouthing the words." (He's saying the words, but he doesn't mean them.)

People everywhere in the world show happiness by smiling. Usually, the happier we are, the bigger the smile is. When people are extremely happy, we say they are grinning from ear to ear.

There are many kinds of smiles, of course. We might even smile when we are sad or disappointed. We do this because others expect to see a smile or because we want to hide our true feelings. So we force a smile. When you see this kind of smile, you can often tell that it's not sincere. Let's look at an example. Suppose your cousin buys you a present, but you don't like the gift at all. You force a smile and say, "Thank you." Are you a good actor? Will your cousin believe your smile?
