Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another. It is very　 1 　because it can help you make yourself easily understood when you are talking with others, you are not just using words, but also using expressions and 　2　 . For example, waving one’s hand is to say “Good-bye”. Shaking hands means welcome, and clapping hands 　3　 congratulations.

Nodding the head means agreement, but shaking the head means disagreement. The gestures are 　4　 both by the Chinese and foreigners as having 　5　 some meanings.

Different countries have different body language. For example, when in Russia, France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet, but men in China or Australia shake hands 　6 　kissing. People in Puerto Rico like touching each other, but people in Britain do not touch each other. People in Arab countries like standing 　7　 one another when they are talking, 　8　 　English people must keep a distance 　9　 when they are talking. When you use a foreign language it is very important to know the meanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country 　10　 the customs will help you communicate 　11 people. And make you stay there much more　 12　 and comfortable.

Body language is very important in communication. Studies　 1　 that only 7% of the communication in daily 　2　 is in words. Westerners expect people 　3　 　at each other 　4 　the eyes when they talk. If you don’t do that while you　 5 , it may show that you do not like the person, 　6　 that you are not interested in what the person says. When 　7　 hands westerners will shake two or three times. Do not shake 　8 　westerner’s hand for a long time. When a man shakes hands 　9　 　a woman, it is 　10　 for the woman to hold 　11　 her hand first.

In the west, 　12　 with one finger at a person while talking 　13　 means that the person　 14 is speaking is criticizing the person who 15 pointed at. Besides this, men in English-speaking countries touch men much 　16 　than men touch men in China. But men and women touch each other publicly 　17 　than men and women touch each other publicly in China. Boy friends and girl-friends often　 18　 hands, embrace ( 拥抱 ) or kiss in public.

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book in hand. Of course, we may 　21　 　with our guide-books the history and special developments of a town and get to know them. 　22　 　then, if we take our time and 　23　 　in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 　24　 　it as a whole, we begin to have some　 25　 , which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 　26　 　this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 　27　 　in this particular way, and not in any 　28　 way?

Here even the best guide-book fails us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the 　29　 　appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) design of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it 　30　 　look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 　31　 　the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 　32　 　to develop.

What is the point of studying towns in this way? For me, it is simply that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A 　33　 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 　34　 　just reading about it in a guide-book.
