1 . Paraphrase words in bold in the passage

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks louder than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication takes up about 50% of what we really mean. And body language is particularly important when we attempt 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 occur as a result of it. For example, different societies treat the distance between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact even with friends, certainly not with strangers. People from Latin American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in conversations, it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer. The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep back away — which the Latino will in return regard as coldness.

Clearly, 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 misunderstandings. But whatever the situation, the best advice is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.
