Communicating effectively means more than knowing what to say and when to say it. Communication involves the subtle signals your body language sends to those who are watching. Here are some common body actions and the impressions they create:
● Fiddling (好动) — Playing with your watch or a pen looks like you’re bored or impatient.
● Clock watching — It looks like you’re to move on to something else.
● Tapping  — Tapping your feet or fingers suggests you are impatient or nervous.
● Staring — An unblinking (不眨眼的) stare conveys threatening or violent behaviour.
● Legs crossed or body hunched (弓背，耸肩)  — Closing up your body profile — becoming smaller — looks like you lack confidence.
● Arms crossed  — If you keep your arms folded during communication, you appear to be defending yourself against the others.
● Touching your face  — When you have your hand in front of your mouth, you appear very shy.
● Rubbing your nose, looking away  — People who are lying often rub their nose or look away when speaking.
● No eye contact  — If you won’t look the other speaker in the eye, you seem to have low interest or a lack of confidence. (Don’t forget staring above.)
How you communicate with your body language is just as important as what you say. Watch your body language and control the unconscious messages you might be sending.

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

Do you have such kind of 　36 ? In a bus you may look at a 　37 , but not too long. And if he is 　38 that he is being stared at, he may feel 　39 .

The same is true in 　40 life. If you are looked at for more than 　41 ,you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is 42 wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s 　43 at you that way.

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and 　44 . But things are different when it 45 to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than ten seconds and 　46 to avert (移开) his gaze, his intentions are 　47 , that is , he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is 　48　 her.

49 , the normal eye contact for two people 　50　 in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener 　51 , in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking about, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, 　52 he tries to dominate(控制) you, you will feel embarrassing.

In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to 　53 only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that 　54 cannot express.

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to relationship between two people and the specific 　55 .
