英语选择性必修 第一册Unit 4 Body Language巩固练习

十五　Unit 4　Period 3

Ⅰ. 阅读理解

If you want to get everything done smoothly and be successful in social life,  you need to express the proper body language,  with or without having to say anything else. You will certainly notice a whole new reaction from people if you use the power of body language.

Relax your shoulders,  keep your hands at your sides (never inside your pockets) and breathe slowly. Have a warm,  welcoming facial expression as if you look forward to communicating. Depending on the situation,  you may smile when appropriate.

Face the other person or your audience and keep eye contact as much as possible throughout the talk. Nodding and leaning your head closer can show that you are listening.

Do not fold your arms,  look down at the floor or put your hands in your pockets. These can show that you are uninterested. If you have any comments,  you can show them in negative but respectful ways like raising your eyebrows.

A lot of your body language can show how confident,  interested,  bored,  angry or nervous you are. Keeping your head up throughout the entire conversation can show that you are very interested in the conversation at hand.

You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to stress a point. If you’re listing things,  it’s better to use each of your fingers as you mention each item to help your audience keep track.

Pacing will help you create more ground if you have a larger crowd to communicate with. It will also show confidence on your part as you think of more things to say.

Be very careful when touching the other person since you are crossing the boundaries (界限) of body language through actual contact. Remember that in body language,  it is your body that does the talking for you.
