　　A
　　Imagine being face-to-face with a woolly mammoth(猛犸). It would be quite a sight. Scientists believe it would tower at 11 feet tall. The woolly mammoth would have a powerful trunk and sharp tusks that stretch up to 10 feet. Its thick hair would be up to three feet long. It would weigh six tons—about as much as a bus.
　　You’ve probably never seen a giant furry elephant before. Actually, you definitely haven’t. The species has been extinct for thousands of years.
　　But a few years from now, you might be able to see a woolly mammoth for yourself. Scientists believe they have the technology to recreate one.
　　A team of South Korean and Russian scientists plan to clone a woolly mammoth. How will they do it? Several woolly mammoth bodies have already been discovered in Siberia, an icy region in Russia. The scientists plan to take cells from these frozen mammoths.
　　The scientists believe the whole process will take five years. Many scientists and animal lovers can’t wait. It will be so exciting, they think, to be able to bring back to life a creature that has been extinct fro thousands of years. People would travel from around the world for the chance to see a woolly mammoth. By observing the way the creature looks and acts, scientists might make brand-new discoveries about the history of animal life.
　　Other experts aren’t so sure about the woolly mammoth project. One big question is what to do with a mammoth. The Earth has changed in the thousands of years since these animals roamed the planet. Where would the creature live, and would it be able to survive in today’s climate?
　　Then there’s the cost: some believe that the money being spent on the experiment could be better spent on other important scientific projects, such as fighting diseases.
　　But the South Korean and Russian scientists are sticking to their plan. They admit they have a big challenge ahead. There is no guarantee that they will succeed, but they’re hopeful.

　　Body language has been used for thousands of years. Some scientists, especially those who believe in the evolution, understand body language to have been the initial communication method in the early man. This is yet to be proven and it is quite possible. However, it is imperative to understand that different kinds of body language vary in their use from one culture to another.
　　It is very important that you understand the meanings of different kinds of body language in different communities before using them. For example, some years back, the President of the
