Question

【题目】 We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions. We can learn about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important but the way a person stands or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings. A person frowns(皱眉) when he is angry or in trouble. Parents pat child’s head to show their love. Some players like to throw their arms forward, as if they’re flying, after they score. You can see body language here and there. Body language does not use words. It is communication with the movement or position of your body. A hand gesture, a big smile, a shaking leg, these are all examples of body language. According to a research made by American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. For example, a friend asks you to go on a picnic with him; you give him an “OK” gesture to say, “Yes, sounds good!” Sometimes, your words say one thing but your body language says another. You may touch your face unconsciously(无意识地) while telling a lie.

In different cultures, the same body language may mean different things. In the US, eye contact during a conversation shows you are interested in what the other person is saying. But in some Asian countries, it is rude to look straight at a person when you are talking to him or her. People in some countries use different body language to show the same meaning. In France, people kiss cheeks to say hello. The Japanese prefer to bow when greeting.

Perhaps the best example of commonly understood body language is the smile. A smile can open doors and tear down walls. It can be used to express almost any feeling. We can use a smile to ask for help or to start a conversation. We can smile at ourselves in the mirror to make ourselves feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than to see the smiling face of a good friend.
