　　Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 　　1　　 than words．According to specialists, our bodies send out more 　　2　　 than we realize．In fact, non－verbal(非言语)communication takes up about 50％ of what we really 　　3　　．And body language is particularly 　　4　　 when we attempt to communicate across cultures．

　　Indeed, what is called body language is so 　　5　　 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed．And misunderstandings occur as a result of it．　　6　　, different societies treat the 　　7　　 between people differently．Northern Europeans usually do not like having 　　8　　 contact(接触)even with friends, and certainly not with 　　9　　．People from Latin American countries, 　　10　　, touch each other quite a lot．Therefore, it's possible that in 　　11　　．it may look like a Latino is 　　12　　a Norwegian all over the room．The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving' 　　13　　．The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 　　14　　 which the Latino will in return regard as 　　15　　．

　　Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 　　16　　．And only a part of it is in the words themselves．And when parties are from 　　17　　 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 　　18　　．But whatever the situation, the best 　　19　　 is to obey the Golden Rule：treat others as you would like to be 　　20　　．
