Can you communicate with others when you live in a foreign country with no or little knowledge of its language? Of course, it is possible. You can communicate your moods and intentions to one another without words, because all human beings share a lot of common visual（看见的）signals. These signals are as effective as words during communication.
The gestures of the head play a key role in body language. The movements of eyes and eyebrows are as important as head movements in body language.
　　Besides the gestures of the head or the movements of the eyes and eyebrows, the action of arms, hands and legs is also a large part of body language. Extending one's arm and shaking hands with others is a greeting in both formal and informal cases. This part of body language might date back to primary tribes（部落）.
　　Like handshaking, there are still many other forms of body language presented by hands. Raising one's hand and making a circle with his thumb（拇指）and for finger signals, that something is OK. Clasped（握紧的）hands raised above the head, a traditional picture accepted by sportsmen after winning a fight, is a display of triumph that grows out of a kind of feeling following a victory. Waving one's hands, a speaker can make his words more powerful and vigorous（有活力的）.
　　Besides hand gestures, there are times when a person says something with his legs as well as with his head and eyes. The leg gestures often reflect one's attitude towards something or someone that person is with.
　　According to the above facts, body language has offered a more reliable（可靠的）way to understand one's mind by means of gestures. Though it is soundless and wordless, once you understand it, you will feel the world is bigger than you realized.

　　“Maybe I'll just move him right out the door,” the boss replied. Ray was very glad and no longer worried. The boss was mad at Don now, not at him. Sure enough, within a month of that meeting, Don was looking for a new job. “Serves him right,” Ray thought. Unfortunately, the guy who was brought in to take Don's place wasn't much better.

　　Well, then an astonishing thing happened. Ray's department was working on a box design for a toy. A new employee named Jack was doing the artwork. He had designed something in bright red and blue. Ray looked at it and said, “Sorry. Red and blue is not good. Change it to brown and purple.” Actually, the design was very nice. But Ray didn’t want Jack to get too proud. He also wanted him to know who was in charge. Jack wasn't happy about it, but he changed everything to brown and purple.

　　Two weeks later, 500,000 new brown and purple boxes arrived from the printing company. While Ray was leading a staff meeting, the boss came bursting in.

　　“What is this?” he shouted, waving one of the new boxes. “You call this artwork? Look at these ridiculous colors! This is the ugliest box I've ever seen. Who did this, anyway?”

　　All eyes, except Jack's were upon Ray. Then Jack spoke. “I did, sir,” he said, “I'm sorry you don't like it. I'll try to do better next time.”
