There are two main types of non­verbal communication. Body language is the first. Body language is body movements that depend on a person’s attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk，how they stand，and their facial features. In other words，any kind of meaning is shown by a person’s attitude or body movements. For example，when a boy is sad he may drop his head and walk slowly. Or，if a girl is happy，she might run and jump or stand up straight and put her hands in the air. People don’t have to say anything to show how they feel about things. The colour of people’s skin may even show how they feel. For example，if people with light coloured skin get embarrassed，their skin may turn red，or if they are worried，they might get pale. Body language can be voluntary(主动的) or involuntary(无意识的)．An interesting fact is that blind children will smile when happy even though they have never seen a smile.

The next main type of non­verbal communication is gestures. Gestures are communications like facial expressions，hand signals，eye gazing，and body postures. Examples include smiles，handshakes，waving，and raising certain fingers to say something. For instance，if you saw a friend at a noisy carnival，you might smile and wave at your friend. You might also point at the Ferris wheel if you wanted to meet your friend there. You could do all of these things without saying a word. Another great example is in baseball when the catcher signals to the pitcher the kind of pitch to use for the batter that is up.

1.If a boy passes the final exam he ________.

A．might not raise his head　

B．might walk home slowly

C．might run home singing　

D．might not stand there straight

2.When someone gets pale he is most likely to be ______.

A．anxious　　　　　 　　 B．surprised

C．embarrassed　　　　 D．disappointed

3.Which one of the following is WRONG according to this passage?

A．Body language is mainly expressed by one’s body movements.

B．The blind children can also smile when they are glad.

C．You can also express yourself without saying a word in baseball.

D．Gestures can be shown only by one’s hands.

4.All the following are gestures except ________.

A．hand signals　　　　 B．coloured skin

C．hand wave　　　　 　　 D．eye gazing

Body language is quiet, secret and most powerful language of all.

In fact, non-verbal communication takes up about fifty percent of what we usually mean. And body language is especially important, when we try to communicate across cultures.

Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings happen as a result of it. For example, different cultures treat the distance between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact, even with friends. And certainly not with strangers. People from the Latin American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. So it’s possible that in conversation it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian (挪威人)all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer. The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as rude behavior, will keep backing away, which the Latino will in return regarded as coldness.

Obviously, a great deal is going on when people talk. And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation is, the best advice is to obey the golden rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.

1.You may find the passage in _____.

A. a science magazine　　 B. a guide book

C. a sports newspaper　　 D. a story book

2.The underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to _____.

A. the Norwegian keeps moving closer

B. the Latino follows the Norwegian

C. the Norwegian keeps backing away

D. the Latino’s way of expressing friendship

3.Misunderstanding of body languages always happens because of the _____.

A. languages　　 B. friends

C. cultures　　 D. countries

4.Which of the following is true?

A. People around the world have the same body languages.

B. Body language takes up about 50% of our communication.

C. Body language is the most important in our communication.

D. Body language is important when trying to communicate across cultures

5.If a foreign friend gives a hug to you, you should_____.

A. shake hands with him　　 B. give him a hug

C. refuse him　　 D. kiss him

Body language is a part of non-verbal language. It includes things like the way you stand, gestures, facial expressions, and even small things like a nod of the head. We frequently communicate both bodily and verbally and about 70% of what we communicate may be non-verbal.

There are many ways to learn to understand body language but we must be aware that it is frequently connected to a culture. Still, since most of us live in one area where body language may be similar among people, it's important to know that you can communicate a lot by how you gesture. A person in much of the US who sits with hands crossed over the chest, and with legs crossed,may be sending a message that they're really not open to talking.

Eye contact is another key element of non-verbal contact in much of the Western world. Looking someone in the eyes enough but not too much may indicate that you're direct and frank.

How we gesture can tell people the level of confidence we have, or if we're a little too insistent on our opinions. Huge gestures may mean we have something to prove. Moderate gestures may simply suggest we're involved and confident in what we have to say.

Even the way you turn your head, shrug, yawn, look at your watch may all be forms of non-verbal communication that send clear signals to other people. Looking at your watch when you're in a meeting with your boss can send the message that you're bored.

If you really think your body language is improper or needs improvement, opening this book on non-verbal communication can help. You can also compare your gestures with those in the video to see if you are sending right messages.Confident body language common to a culture can be learned and may make you appear more confident or direct.

1.Which of the following is not included in body languages?

A.Eye movement. B.Facial expressions.

C.Gestures. D.Accent.

2.What should you do in a job interview?

A.Crossing your arms while standing. B.Looking at your watch frequently.

C.Using moderate gestures. D.Always staring at the interviewers.

3.What can we know about body languages?

A.Body language is cultural.

B.Body language is equal to nonverbal language.

C.People from different places have the same meaning of a gesture.

D.Body language plays a slightly important role in our communication.

4.What's the purpose of this passage?

A.To give some suggestions on body language.

B.To advertise a book on body language.

C.To list some body language types.

D.To introduce something about body language.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (冒犯) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was sounded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have realized its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chiefly all act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others: nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

1.People who are unhappy　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ．

A. always consider things differently from others

B. usually are affected by the results of certain things

C. usually misunderstand what others think or say

D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things

2.The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most probably means“　　　　　　　　　　 .”

A. have a good taste with social life　　     B. make others unhappy

C. tend to scold others openly             D. enjoy the pleasure of life

3.We can conclude from the passage that__________.

A. we should pity all such unhappy people

B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life

C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness

D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons

4.If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should_______.

A. prevent any communication with them

B. show respect and politeness to them

C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects

D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

5.In this passage, the writer mainly __________.

A. describes two types of people

B. laughs at the unhappy people

C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness

D. tells people how to be unhappy in life
