In public places, people often use body language to express their meanings. Waving and bowing are examples of body language. Different kinds of body languages show different cultures in different countries. In China waving means greeting, but in Japan bowing is used. Sometimes this kind of body language is polite in one country, but it is not polite in another. We should pay attention to using it. In China, nodding your head shows you agree with someone, but in India, shaking your head from side to side shows agreement. In China, people hold hands as a sign of friendship, but people seldom hold hands in North America. It is worth(值得) noting that different meanings of body language can also cause problems in understanding. Some people do not understand how to use thumb(拇指) correctly. Most people often show one thumb to praise someone or something. You can't raise your thumb when someone is in danger. In a basketball match, if the judge shows two thumbs, it means two players break the rules.

Body language sometimes speaks louder than words. Body language can tell you whether someone is interested or not, and whether someone is happy to see you or not. One of the most important things that body language can tell, however, is whether a person is lying or not. Here’s how you can determine whether someone is telling you the truth or not, based on body language alone.

The eyes are said to be the windows of the soul and one of the things that the little windows will show you is whether someone is honest or not. When you talk to people, you should look at their eyes and judge whether they are turning away from your close watch or not. People are usually subconsciously(潜意识地) uncomfortable when lying to the person that they are talking to. Besides lying, eyes that have a lot of movement usually show that the person is about to lie or that the person has told a lie.

People who lie often touch their noses and other parts of their faces. If you notice that your partner or someone talking to you unconsciously touches his nose, this probably means that he is lying. The reason why people touch their faces when they lie is that lying usually leads to an increase in blood circulation, and then an itch(痒) in the small blood vessels（血管）in the nose or in the cheeks will appear.

Another common body language suggestion that someone is lying is when a person crosses his arms. If the person crosses the arms, it means that the person is both being defensive and shutting himself off. People who are telling the truth will usually make an open gesture(姿态). They put the arms on the side to show that they are not hiding anything. Subconsciously, however, people will cross their arms when they are lying.

If you plan to use body language to determine whether someone is lying or not, make sure that you are focused and that you are looking in the face and the person’s body all at the same time.

We always use body language in our daily life. When we have a talk with someone, we may use more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. That’s why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means “He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head” .In China, nodding heads means “Yes” and shaking heads means “No”. However, in parts of Greece and Turkey, they mean just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb(大拇指) and the second finger, it means “Everything is OK.” However, if you do this in France or Belgium, it means “You’re worth zero.” In Greece or Turkey, you should not make this gesture, or you are thought to be very rude.

The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the V sign meant “peace”. However, during World War II, it meant “victory”. In Greece, it is a very insulting(侮辱性的) sign.

Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world.

1.In England, if people point to their heads, it means they think someone is _________.

A. clever　　　 B. stupid

When you wave to a friend, you are using body language. When you smile at someone you mean to be friendly. When you put one finger in front of your mouth, you mean “be quiet”. Yet, people in different countries may use different body languages.

Once an Englishman was in Italy. He could speak little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt hungry and went into a restaurant. When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips. In this way, he meant to say, “Bring me something to eat.” But the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink, first tea, then coffee and then milk, but no food.

The Englishman was sorry because he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry. He was ready to leave the restaurant when another man came in. The man put his hands on his stomach, and this body language was good enough for the waiter. In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.

Finally the Englishman had his meal in the same way.
