To become more aware about body language, watch TV with the voice off, every night, for three weeks in row. By guessing what's going on just from body language, you'll improve your ability to read it.
Keep in mind that each person has their own unique body language called baseline behaviors. Pay special attention to changes in body language rather than the body language itself.[来源:学+科+网]
It's easy to spot a confident person: they will make prolonged eye contact and have a strong posture. They may also sit or stand very correct. Long eye contact can also be found in lovers' or families eyes.
Watch your own body language, see what message you're giving off.
For some people it's only hard to look people in the eye during a discussion because of shyness. Don't immediately take it personally.
When someone licks their lips it can be a sign of interest or excitement because subconsciously when someone is aroused their lips tend to dry. But be careful it could just be that their lips are dry or that it is a habit.
Be aware of the persons’ mouth. Constant twitching usually means they are agitated or annoyed.
Watch the face - it will usually give off a quick involuntary and sometimes subconscious twitch when something happens that irritates, excites, or amuses them.
If they lean forward, they're interested in listening to you.
When a person closes his/her eyes longer than the time it takes to blink, that usually means that he/she is feeling stress, alarm, or despair.

【安徽省泗县双语中学2012——2013学年度高一下学期第一次月考】
Katie always felt there had to be something more to life than just partying, buying clothes and driving a cool car. She finally discovered what she was missing out on when she traveled halfway around the world to help poor kids.
When she was 14, she discovered a club at school called Operation Smile, an organization that supports free operation for facially deformed kids in developing countries. At that time, she joined Operation Smile just to satisfy her school's community service requirement.
After working with Operation Smile for a while, she learned different countries have different deformities (畸形). The more she learned about what affects kids around the world, the more she wanted to go abroad with Operation Smile.
At 15, she was chosen to go abroad. She was so happy – even though she didn't realize what she was getting herself into. Before her trip, she attended a weekend "mission training". That's when she was told she'd be going to the Philippines. Although she was excited, one night during training, she broke down in tears. She didn't know if she was prepared to see all these unfortunate kids. She was put to work three days after her arrival in the Philippines. Her first day was at the hospital, where she met those kids waiting for operation, and they were running around and happy, it seemed normal. Her job was to play with the kids before their operation to help them feel more at ease. She also went to nearby schools to hand out toothbrushes and teach students how to brush their teeth.
When their operation was over, the kids were always overjoyed, but their parents were blown away. Sometimes they couldn't even recognize their kids because their appearances had improved so much. They'd cry and hug the doctors and nurses and give them presents--they were so grateful.

【安徽省泗县双语中学2012——2013学年度高一下学期第一次月考】
When Harvard was founded in 1636, there were no other colleges in the American colonies, and it would become the model for many of those that followed. When it began requiring applicants to take a test known as the SAT in 1935, Harvard started another trend. Two years ago, after it announced an aggressive new financial-aid policy, it helped push social class to the center of the national debate over higher education and forced two of its main competitors, Stanford and Yale, to follow its lead.
Last week. Harvard began to make another effort to affect higher education in its image, its president, Derek Bok, announced that the college would abandon its early admissions program, which for decades has allowed high school seniors to apply in October and get an answer yes, no or maybe – in December, shortly before the regular deadline for applications.
Harvard officials argue that the program is beneficial to rich students who don't need to compare financial-aid offers from various colleges. After the announcement, many people within education urged other colleges to take a similar step.
"We're thrilled," said Laurie Kobick, a college counselor (顾问) at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va. "I think it's going to make admissions better in so many different ways. It will indeed go a small way toward leveling the field among applicants. Of course, it will also have an effect on colleges, and the biggest winner will almost certainly be Harvard. a fact that may prevent many other colleges – perhaps all of them – from following Hazard this time. Because any college that does so will risk losing some of its best applicants."
72. From the first paragraph we can learn that Harvard ____.
A. was the first college in the American colonies B. was best known for the SAT
C. was muck better than Stanford and Yale
D. refused to offer financial-aid to applicants
73. By abandoning early admissions program, Harvard wants ____.
A. to attract the public's attention B. to influence higher education in its own way
C. to save money spent in attracting students
D. to allow its competitors to admit more students
74. Early admissions program is good for rich students because ____.
A. they have more chances to enter college
B. they can enter college with a lower score
C. they have special right to be admitted into college
D. they have no problem in supporting their studies
75. Why does Laurie Kobick think other colleges may not follow Harvard?
A. Because they think the action will harm high education.
B. Because they are afraid that the action is not practical.
C. Because they may attract fewer top students than he[ore,
D. Because they are afraid the action will damage their reputation.
