The day is like any other day in his life. Tom walks past the shop at the street corner. He stops to look at the front row of shoes, and he feels happy to see that pair of shoes he wants very much is still there. But he feels sorry for himself. He really wants to have them for his birthday.
He sadly walks away and thinks how to tell his mother about it. He knows she will give him anything he likes if she can. He also knows very well that she has little money. He decides not to go home so quickly, because he looks worried and his mother will see it. So he goes to the park and sits on the grass. Then he sees a boy in a wheel chair. He notices that the boy moves the wheel chair with his hands. Tom looks at him carefully and is surprised to see the boy has no feet. He looks at his own feet. "It's much better to be without shoes than without feet," he thinks. There is no reason for him to feel so sorry and sad. He smiles and he is happier.

say what they mean at work, Robert Phipps, a UK body language expert, tells you how to understand it.
If someone has the same idea as yours, they'll often have the same posture (姿势) as yours. But if a
person's body and feet are turned away from you even though they're looking at you, it means they'd rather be
moving the way their feet are pointing.
Most people cross their arms if they have different ideas. So even if someone says they agree with you,
if they then cross their arms they really don't. So try to find out what's the matter with them or draw them out
by handing them something to look at or asking them to do something, such as writing something down.
If you're training someone, it's useful to know how their mind works. If a person's eyes move up and to
the left while you're talking to them, they think of information actively, if the eyes only move left they think of
sounds, but eyes moving to the right and down shows they learn through their feelings.
When people are lying, they don't often use their hands naturally but make a lot of hand-to-face gesture
(手势). Hands or fingers covering the mouth means what they are saying is not true.
Tilting (倾斜) the head to the side shows and interest in what's being said. When people drop their heads,
they are showing they don't agree with you. Using a hand to support (支撑) your head means you're feeling
tired.
B. not everyone can speak the same language
C. sometimes people aren't going to talk with each other
D. sometimes what we say is different from what we mean
B. he has the same idea
C. he isn't telling the truth
D. he is thinking actively
B. His head.
C. His hands.
D. His feet.
B. Try to find out what his real idea is.
C. Ask him to read something instead.
D. Let him have a rest for a while.

He was struggling(费劲) to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him. I did, and he was grateful. “Thank you,” he said. “I’m glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach,” I said. He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted(扭曲的) terribly, and he couldn’t do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted(反应) to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable. I was still on my knees by his wheelchair. “Nice shoes,” he said. “Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before,” I said. “No one has the same view of the world as I do,” he replied. “Tell me about the world as you see it,” I said smiling.
“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet.” he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they’re impatient with me. I don’t want to make people uncomfortable. “What about me? I asked. “I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous.” he said. “I don’t normally have someone look me in the eye.”“They don’t know what they’re missing,” I told him. “My old face is nothing to brag(自夸) about.” he said. “But that smile is so big.” Yes, and it’s not only a big smile but an attitude.
