5 . It is important to know another language and how to communicate without words when you are in another country. Before saying anything, people communicate with each other by using gestures(手势). However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.

In the United States, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.

Today in the USA, when someone puts his thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Greece it is bad. Also putting your clasped(紧握的) hands up above your head means “I am the winner.” It is the sign which players often make. In Russia it is the sign of friendship.

In the USA, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger(食指), and the other three straight means “Everything is OK.” In France, it means “You are worth nothing.”

It is also important to make eye communication. If you look down when talking to an American, he or she may feel that you are shy, or you are trying to hide something.

Besides these, you should also know there are some topics that cannot be talked about, such as age, weight and marriage. You can talk about the weather, work, sports, food, where one lives and news of the day.

6 . 语法填空

As we all know, we can learn a lot about others' feelings and thoughts by watching     1    (they) body language. In fact, body language     2    (vary) from culture to culture, so the crucial thing     3    (be) using body language in a way     4    is appropriate to the culture you are in. In different     5    (culture), the gesture for “OK” has     6    (differ) meanings.For example, in Japan, this gesture means money.Even the gestures we use     7    “yes” and “no” differ around the world. Besides, there are some gestures with     8     same meaning everywhere.For example,     9    (move) hand in circles over the stomach after a meal means “I am full”.Some body language has many different uses and perhaps     10    (good) example is smiling.

7 . 语法填空

Just like     1     (speak) language, body language     2    (vary) from culture to culture. For example, making eye contact in some countries is a way     3     (display) interest while men and women are not     4     (social) permitted to make eye contact in many Middle Eastern countries.  

In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no” and     5     (nod) one’s head means “yes”. By     6     (compare), the gestures have the opposite meaning in Bulgaria and     7     (south) Albania.

Smiling has many different uses. A smile can help us get     8     difficult situations,   find friends in a world of strangers     9     break down barriers. If we’re feeling down or lonely, there’s nothing better     10     seeing the smiling face of a good friend.

8 . Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

    1    In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.     2    . Eyes do speak, right？

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.    3    . If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.

However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking.    4     If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he is trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim.

    5     On the contrary, it will give him away.

Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.

A．If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.

B．That’s what normal eye contact is all about.

C．Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.

D．Do you have such a kind of experience?

E．But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.

F．He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

G．After all, nobody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.

10 . Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.

The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious-seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.

Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.

Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.

It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.

Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.

While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.
