In England, peple buy bus tickets n the bus. In France, they buy them at a bus statin. In Australia, they can buy them frm a magazine stre. Bks n crss-cultural cmmunicatin make us curius by fcusing n differences between peple acrss the wrld: in scial behavir and the imprtance f their bdy language, etc.
Fr example, hw clse yu stand t smene when yu are speaking t him is different in different cultures. Surveys in mst cuntries tell us that the prper distance（距离）f tw peple standing in a scial situatin is between 1. 2 metres and 3.5 metres. But in China, this distance seems t be smaller, while in Sweden, peple usually stand farther.
The message sent by the way yu stand r sit is anther cnditin. Fr example, it is quite cmmn in Eurpean cuntries t sit with yur legs crssed. But peple in Arab cuntries hardly ever sit in this way—because they might shw yu the bttm f their shes, and it is thught t be implite.
Such infrmatin fills the pages f guides fr travellers and internatinal business peple. Clearly it is imprtant t knw a little abut eating custms and the rules abut basic greetings—whether yu shuld bw r shake smene's hands. But under the surface, we are nt s different. There are many signs that are cmmn in the emtins（情感）that they cmmunicate.
Smiling is the best knwn f these, but nt the nly ne. Scientists have prven that all ver the wrld, peple shw sadness in a similar way. Peple lk dwn with their face “falling” and muth crner turning dwn. There are als cmmn factrs when peple are bred. They will lk at ther things in an distracted（漫不经心的） way--their watches, fr example. Their feet will begin t mve restlessly shwing that they want t escape.
Understanding these bdy languages and acting prperly is the real key t crss-cultural cmmunicatin. If we all pay just a little attentin, it is impssible that we will cause lasting incnvenience by using the wrng bdy language r standing t near t strangers and then make them feel uncmfrtable.
