Our body language communicates about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words only express 7 per cent. So, we should use body language.

Arms If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid. Outgoing people usually use their arms with big movements. However, quiet people usually keep them close to their bodies. If someone makes you unhappy, just cross your arms to show your feelings!

Head When you want to look confident, keep your head level (水平的）. If you are the monitor in your class, you can also act like this. Then others may take your words seriously. However, to be friendly when listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.

Legs Your legs move around a lot more when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are having a meeting, try to keep them still!

Posture (姿势）If you are feeling down, you usually don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult so it can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

Mouth When you are thinking, you often purse your lips (嘟嘴）. You might also use it to show you’re a little angry.

()36. What does the first paragraph want to tell us?

A. Body language is very important in our daily life.

B. There are many kinds of body language.

C. Using body language can bring you many advantages.

D. Using body language to communicate is fun.

()37. When a man is keeping his arms behind his back, what does he try to tell you?

A. He is smart. B. He is angry.

C. He is not afraid. D. He is cool.

()38. Which of the following body language tells that someone is nervous?

A. Moving his / her legs around a lot more than usual.

B. Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.

C. Pursing his / her lips.

D. Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.

() 39. What can we learn from the passage?

A. People in different countries understand the same body language.

B. Body language can express more meanings in communication.

C. We are unable to communicate with others without spoken words.

D. It’s not polite to use body language in formal (正式的）communication.

IQ (智商）describes how smart a person is. EQ is the ability to understand, use and control our emotions. A high IQ helps people to get good test scores. A high EQ helps people to get along with others and make good decisions.

Genes affect (基因影响）EQ. You can see that some babies are quiet, while others cry easily. But people can also learn to build a high EQ in their everyday life.

A high EQ is a combination (结合）of a few different skills. Learning about these skills can help us to improve our EQ. EQ can also be tested. First, let’s talk about how to improve EQ.

Be aware of your emotions. On a normal day, we feel many different emotions. Some feelings, like surprise, last just a few seconds. Others, like happiness or sadness, may stay around longer.

Understand how others feel. Being able to understand the feelings of others is called empathy (同理心). Empathy helps us care about and build good relationships with others.

Control emotions. We all feel sad sometimes. But we need to control it. It is not always the right time or place to express our emotions. When you are angry with someone，take a deep breath or slowly count to 10. Both ways help a lot.

()41. What does NOT the first paragraph talk about?

A. What IQ and EQ are.

B. What a high IQ helps us.

C. How people get a high EQ.

D. What a high EQ helps us.

()42. Which of the following is TRUE about EQ?

A. EQ is how intelligent a person is.

B. Children are born with it.

C. People can’t learn it.

D. If a person has low IQ, he has low EQ.

()43. How many ways can people use to improve EQ?

A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

()44. What will the passage most probably discuss next?

A. The ways to improve IQ.

B. The reasons why people improve EQ.

Body language is very important and can say a lot.

    When someone jumps with two hands up, that means he is very happy. When one walks slowly with his head and two hands down, he may be very sad. If someone sits quietly with one hand supporting his head and the other hand knocking at the desk, he may be thinking about something carefully. If someone shrugs with two palms up, it means that he doesn’t know the answer to the question.
