Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时:7分钟)
Body language is much more sincere than what we say. We can easily lie while we talk, but our body always says the truth. If we are in a class or conference and we consider boring what the speaker is saying, we will probably cross our arms, or we will touch our face implying(暗示) that
we are judging the speaker.
In a social event we can see who is the most important person in a small group by looking at the tip of the shoe, or at the eyes, to see the degree of like or dislike of a person towards another one. Another good sign is the so-called mirroring that happens when a person unconsciously imitates the postures of the person who is in front of her/him. However, if we see someone sitting on the edge of the sofa, with arms and legs crossed, avoiding eye contact, looking at his watch, or changing posture every thirty seconds, that means this person is feeling very uncomfortable.
Body language is international, but there are some differences due to the different cultures and religions. For example, eye contact is very important in Europe and in the U.S.A., but in some Arabic or Asian countries, looking into the eyes can be considered as a threat or sign of being a “bad woman”. In the same way, in Arabic countries, the left hand is considered “dirty”, so you should never give an object with the left hand. In these countries, men kiss each other hello. Showing the bottom of the shoe is also bad manners among Muslims.
In business relationships, it is better to stick to a hand shaking, as kisses between men are frequent in some countries, in others kisses between women, and in others only man and woman. In some countries there is only a kiss, in others two, or even three or four. The safest thing is to wait until the person in front of you starts greeting, and follow what he/she does. We have to keep in mind that our body language tells many things about us, so we have to control it, especially in business and formal situations.
