We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people. We can learn a lot about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms, or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings.

How close we stand to other people when we are talking varies（不同）greatly from one culture to another. This is because different people have different “comfort zones”. For example, American businessmen usually like to sit across from each other. Japanese businessmen, on the other hand, prefer to sit next to each other and use less contact than Americans. Again, a comfortable “talking space” for Latin Americans is about one-and-a-half feet away from the other person. However, for many Northern Europeans, this is too close. They prefer to keep about three-feet between speakers. Such differences can create communication problems. Latin Americans and Asians often say that the British and Americans are cold and unfriendly. On the other hand, the British and Americans often see other cultures as aggressive. In both examples, the problem is caused by different ideas about personal space. If you stand too close or too far from someone, you might give a wrong idea. For example, some people might stand back to make more space. Maybe they’re only moving into their comfort zones, but the other person might think they’re being distant and impolite.

D．Less than two-feet away from the other person.

Everything went well until the day a dollar bill disappeared. One of the brothers had left the bill on the cash register（收银机）and walked outside with a customer. When he returned, the money was gone.

Surely you must have seen it!”

There was a little of anger in his voice. Resentment（怨恨）set in and it divided（使……分歧）the young men. They finally decided they could no longer work together and they built a wall in the center of the store. For twenty years anger grew, spreading to their family.

Then one day a man in a car stopped in front of the store. He walked in and asked the clerk, “How long have you been here?” The clerk replied that he’d been there all his life. The customer said, “I must share something with you. Twenty years ago, I came into this town. I hadn’t eaten for three days. I came into this store from the back door and saw a dollar bill on the cash register. I put it in my pocket and walked out. All these years I haven’t been able to forget that. I know it wasn’t much money, but I had to come back and ask your forgiveness.”
