18.People use more than just words to communicate.In fact,some researchers claim that less than half of a spoken message's real meaning is in the words used in the message.They say that most of a message's meaning comes from understanding how the speaker uses things like tone of voice and body language.Body language includes such things as the expression on the speaker's face,gestures the speaker makes with his or her hands,and the position of the speaker's body.Just as there are many different languages spoken around the world,there are many different ways for people to use body language,too.For example,gestures may imply different meanings in different cultures.Making a"thumbs up"sign in America means"Great!"However,in Arab cultures,this gesture is extremely offensive.And in India,if listeners want to show speakers that they understand,the listeners will move their heads from side to side.In many Western countries,a similar gesture means"no".
Although many gestures can be interpreted differently by different cultures,there are also many gestures that are almost universally interpreted the same way.For example,by and large a smile is understood as a sign of friendship or good will around the world.Also,using an open hand to gesture toward something is viewed as polite or friendly in most cultures.
There are also some forms of body language that can be universally read with the meaning,"I am interested in you"or"I like you."Sometimes this kind of body language is used unconsciously between two people.These signs if interest include standing or sitting with both feet flat on the ground,mirroring or using the same gestures as the other person,and turning one's body to fully face the other person.In addition,a person's pupils will automatically become wider when they are interested in another person.
Body language that can be read with the meaning,"I am not interested in you"or"I don't like you,"may include the following gestures:looking down or looking in another direction,leaning away from a person,crossing one's arms or legs,or tapping a foot or finger.
Body language experts point out one important thing.The person's culture is only one factor that can influence his or her use of body language.The time and place where the body language is being used can have a lot to do with a person's body language.If the person has had a bad day or if a meeting takes place in a crowded place,the body language a person uses may be very different than under other circumstances.

解答 53.A 主旨大意题.文章开始就讲到People use more than just words to communicate.可知人们不仅仅使用文字来交流.下文又介绍了身体语言在交流中的应用和所起的重要作用,所以本文主要讲了身体语言是交际的重要组成部分.故选A.
54.A 细节理解题.根据第三段的These signs if interest include standing or sittingwith both feet flat on the ground,mirroring or using the same gestures as the otherperson,可知有兴趣的迹象包括站立或坐着双脚平放在地上,借鉴或使用另一个人相同的手势.所以如果和你谈话的人无意识地模仿你的身体语言,说明她对你很感兴趣.故选A.
55.D 细节理解题.根据第四段的"I am not interested in you"or"Idon't like you,"may include the following gestures:looking down or looking in another direction.可知对说话者不感兴趣或不喜欢的身体语言有向下看或看另一个方向.所以不与说话人进行眼神接触说明对说话者不感兴趣.故选D.
