Many people, including some policemen, believe eye contact is a good test of honesty. If someone can’t look at you directly in the eye, then he or she is not playing honestly, they insist. After many experiments, however, a number of experts have found out that good liars can make false eye contact.

Eye contact, though not a sure sign of dishonesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so, you know his attention is placed on you. When he turns his head away, his mind is probably elsewhere. But there are exceptions. A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person. And certain nationalities, such as the British and Germans, are much less oriented to eye-to-eye contact than, say, the French and the Arabs.

Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Have short periods of eye contact while you watch other parts of the person’s face — especially the mouth. When the person smiles, be sure to smile back. But always make an effort to return your gaze to the person’s eyes as she speaks. It is common to look up, down, and all around when speaking to others, and not have eye contact at all times.

Too much eye contact, especially if it is forced, can work against you. If you stare at a person, or leer in a suspicious way, the other person may feel uncomfortable and even suspicious about your intent. A fixed stare can seem like aggressive behavior if it is a challenge as to who will look away first.

Gestures and body movements are unconscious forms of expressions and therefore they have a language of their own. We are unaware of our gestures and body movements 99 % of the time, but other people can notice our gestures and movements if they pay attention and may know what they mean.

Note that body language applies not only to the interviewer but also to the interviewee. Also note that these gestures may happen throughout the conversation and they change as the conversation progresses.

The objective of paying attention to nonverbal communication is to help you change the direction of the conversation. If the person is showing negative gestures, then you need to change the subject by asking a new question or talking about something else.

So, during a job interview, you can watch for the following gestures: Crossed arms it means that the person is in a defensive and reserved mood Crossed arms and legs it means that the person feels very reserved and suspicious.

Open arms and hands it means that the person is open and receptive.

Standing before you with his hands inside the pockets it means he is not sure or feels suspicious.

Standing before you with his hands on his hips it means he is receptive and ready to help you out.

Sitting in a chair shaking one of his legs it means he feels nervous and uncomfortable.

His eyes are downcast and face turned away it means he is not interested in what you are saying.

The palm of the hand holding or stroking his chin it means he is in an evaluating position and being critical.

Leaning back in his chair with both hands clasped behind his head it means he is in an analytical mood, but it is also a gesture of superiority.

Rubbing or touching his nose when answering a question it means he is not telling the complete truth.

Maintaining good eye contact and he smiles in a relaxed and happy way definitely receptive to you.

All new employees, from vice-presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I”.

We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy themselves. Even Disney’s managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company’s goals more clearly.

All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass (团体) service provider in America or the world. [共5题]

46. Every culture has its own body language, and children absorb its nuances along with spoken language. A Frenchman talks and moves __(1)__ French. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way an American man __(2)__ it.
