2 Apart from fake smiles, is there any other kind of body language that can sometimes be fake?
Yes. For example, Chinese idioms “crocodile tears” and “a cat crying over a mouse’s death” mean that a person is in tears or crying with faked sadness or sympathy for another person.
3 Which is a more reliable guide for understanding someone's feelings, their body language or the words they speak?
Their body language is much more reliable than the words they say, because most people have trouble hiding their true feelings and ideas by their body language.
3. Read the text again, and then discuss these questions.
1. How is the body language mentioned in the text interpreted in China?
Some are the same in China. For example, people favour shaking hands, nodding the head or smiling when they greet someone else.
