Are you still doing the V for victory sign? It’s out. The latest popular hand gesture（手势）is to curl both of your hands and put them together to make a heart—shape. Known as “hand heart”, many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber , Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in recent photos.
“The heart — hand gesture means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’, ”said the country singer Taylor Swift,21.”It’s a sweet, simple message which you can send without saying a word.”
Taylor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts. And she is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular.
Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that.
“It used to take longer for nonverbal（不用语言的）culture to move. But now ,with smart phones and the Internet, it’s much faster,” said Patti Wood, an American language expert.
In the Republic of Korea, the hand heart has been popular for a long time, in a different way. People there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. It means: “I love you.”

I asked many classmates and friends, “What do you think you will be when you grow up?”   1 of them told me what they would like to be in the future,    2   others said, “I don’t know.” I’m    3   to hear that because I think it’s bad. I think having dreams or hopes about the future will help us do better at school.
As middle school students, it’s time for us to    4   what we want to be in the future. If we know it better, we will know    5   to do it better at school. For example, if you are outgoing and like to meet people, you can be a   6   in the future. Then you should practice   7  more articles. If you’re happy with children and like    8  , you can teach English as a job in the future. And then you are supposed to work harder at English. If you want to    9   many interesting places, you can be a tour guide.
Of course, all the    10   that we are learning at school will be useful in the future, so we should work hard at all of them.
