Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? These are all examples of body language. How important can it be? Follow Teens and have a look.Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings.According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, your friend asks you to join him on a picnic; you give him an “A-OK” gesture to say: “Yes, sounds great!” Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously (无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the US,。

If you touch an English person, you should 6 “Sorry”.People in Arab countries like standing 7 to one another when they are talking, but English people must keep 8 distance away when they are talking.

In parts of Asia you must not sit 9 your feet pointing at another person.When you use a foreign language, 10 is very important to know themeanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country.

Chilean men give their friends warm hugs or sometimes kiss women on the check.Finns greet each other with a firm handshake. They only hug and kiss close friends and family members.In South Korea, men bow slightly and shake hands to greet each other. Women do not usually shake hands. When someone is addressed with his or her full name, his or her family name comes first, then the first name.In the United States, men shake hands when they are first introduced. Friends and family members often hug or kiss each other on the check when they meet. In these situations, men often kiss women but not other men.( ) 1.

It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we reallymean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.( ) 1. When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that _____.A. he is outgoingB. he is angryC. he is not afraidD. he is cool( ) 2. If you want to appear confident, you should __________.A. move your arms a lotB. keep your head levelC. move your head a littleD. cross your arms( ) 3. Which of the following movements tells someone is nervous?A. Moving around a lot more than normal.B. Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.C. Having the lips pursed to hold back an angry comment.D. Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.( ) 4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Different people in different countries must have the same understandingof the same body movement.B. Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication.C. We cannot communicate with others without words.D. It's not polite to use body language in formal communication.( ) 5. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Body language, the most commonly used languageB. Arms tell more than legsC. Facial expressions tell the truthD. One simple movement lets slip secrets of mind(C)Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, "Do you have cold drinks?" The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".( ) 1. These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ______.A. should go abroad for vacationsB. needed to learn foreign languagesC. should often discuss their experiencesD. had problems with communications( ) 2. People in Micronesia show "yes" by .A. nodding headsB. raising eyebrowsC. shaking headsD. saying” no"( ) 3. Tom misunderstood his class at first because .A. he did not know much about Indian cultureB. he didn't explain everything clearly enoughC. some students didn't understand his questionsD. he didn't know where the students came from( ) 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to (根据) this passage?A. In Bulgaria, nodding heads means no.B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.C. Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.D. In India, only shaking heads means” YES".( ) 5. The passage is mainly about .A. body language in foreign restaurantsB. class discussion in Indian schoolsC. miscommunication in different culturesD. English teaching in other countries(D)Point at something in the room. It is not polite to point with the index finger in the Middle and Far East.Making a “V” means “Victory” in most parts of Europe when you make this sign with your palm facing away from you.Use a circle with fingers to show “OK”. This means “OK” in the U.S. and in many countries around the world. In Japan, this means “money”. In France, it has the meaning of “zero”.Pass a thing to someone with one hand.

For example, in the USA, people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, human beings (人类) are not the only ones who use body language. Animals also use body language and facial expressions (面部表情) to tell each other how they feel and what they think.When a dog is happy, its ears will stand up and its ears will wide open. When it is angry, it will look straight at you. If an elephant spreads its ears, it means “ Watch out!”To show friendship, elephants will touch each other with their trunks(鼻子). Dolphins(海豚) live in groups and like to show each other their feelings. An angry dolphin will sometimes slap(拍) its tail(尾巴) on the water. A happy dolphin will play with its friends, making small jumps into the air. Not only humans but also animals can use body language to communicate, but the things they “say” to each other are different.根据短文内容判断句子正误，正确的写Ａ，错误的写Ｂ。

Instead of a meal, he asked for a glass of water. She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk instead. He drank it slowly and then asked, “How much do I owe (欠) you?”“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he replied. With these words, Howard Kelly left the woman’s house.Years later, the woman became seriously ill and was finally sent to a hospital in a big city. Howard Kelly, now a famous doctor, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s cloth es, Kelly went into her room and recognized (认出) her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her and decided to do his best to save her life.The woman survived after being treated by Kelly. He asked the hospital to pass the woman’s final bill on to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words:“Paid in full with a glass of milk, Howard Kelly.”Tears of joy flooded her eyes.1.

Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? These are all examples of body language. How important can it be? Follow Teens and have a look.Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings.According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you evenexpress yourself without words. For example, your friend asks you to join him on a picnic; you give him an “A-OK” gesture to say: “Yes, sounds great!” Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously (无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the US, making eye contact (眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person’s eyes during a conversation.Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take “hello” for example. French people kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬). Maoris (毛利人) in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting.What are you trying to say?Body language is important for teenagers.

It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7 per cent. So, while your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying...Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy! Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!Posture(姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips (噘起嘴). You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.( )21.How many kinds of body language are mentioned in this passage?A.threeB. fourC. fiveD. six( )22.When may you cross your arms?A.when somesone helps you C. when someone upsets youB.when someone hits you D. when someone pleases you( )23.
