把握行文方式，厘清主要观点
本文是一篇事理说明文。它在解读说明对象时常采用“总述＋举例”的行文方式，即作者先明确提出某个主题或观点，然后通过列举具体的例子，进一步解释和阐述这一主题或观点。如本文第二段首句先点明观点，即不同的文化有着不同的肢体语言，而后采用了For example, ... in some countries ... In other countries, by contrast等标志词，通过列举不同国家的肢体语言具体解释前面的观点。这种行文方式可以使抽象的概念或观点更加具体、生动，有助于加深读者的理解。阅读此类体裁的文章时，可以先分析其行文方式，进而厘清作者的观点。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact — looking into someone's eyes — in some countries is a way to display interest.
赏析：本段使用“appropriate”强调了在不同的文化环境中，我们需要根据当地的习惯和习俗来调整我们的肢体语言，凸显了使用适合的肢体语言的重要性，为下文做好了铺垫。
2．①Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.
②The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures.
③Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world.
赏析：作者在行文中分别用vary, different, differ三个不同的词语来表达肢体语言在不同的文化中具有不同的含义；用from culture to culture，in different cultures, around the world三种表达方式来表达世界上的多种文化，以避免语言的重复。在写作中这种方式经常使用，注意借鉴。
①虽然这些国际生文化背景不同，个人爱好也彼此不同，但在夏令营中，他们相处得很融洽。(用不同的动词表示“不同”)
Although they ________________________， and _________________________________， the international students in the summer camp are getting along harmoniously.
②我们经常很难找到合适的单词和短语来表达我们的想法。
It often happens that we have trouble in __________________________________________ to give expression to our minds.
(二)赏句式之高
1．In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to an older person.
赏析：该句中it为形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式短语to look down。when ... person为when引导的时间状语从句的省略。该句表达了在日本，与年长者交谈时，目光下垂表示敬重的情形。
2．There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part.
赏析：本句为there be句型，其中包含三个并列的由how引导的宾语从句，作介词in的宾语。在第二个宾语从句中，we are talking to为省略了关系词that的定语从句，修饰先行词someone；第三个宾语从句中包含一个由when引导的时间状语从句。该句介绍了不同文化里的肢体语言在这三个方面也存在差异。
①It's so convenient __________________________ from different online shops before I buy.
购物前，能够比较不同的网络商店的质量和价格，非常方便。
②At the end of the small village, ____________________________ that spanned across a clear creek. Every evening in the summer, _______________________________________， the whole scene became picturesque like a poem.
在这个小村庄的尽头，有一座古老的石桥，它横跨在一条清澈的小溪上。每到夏天的傍晚，当夕阳的余晖洒在桥上，整个景色都变得如诗如画。
(三)赏文笔之美
A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can break down barriers. We can use a smile to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation.
赏析：本段中A smile can ... A smile can ...以及 to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation都使用了平行结构，强调了微笑在不同情境中的多种作用。这种平行结构可以使句子更加流畅，且有节奏感，并且能够更好地传达信息，让读者更加关注微笑在社交中的重要性。
参加工作面试时，要注意自己的穿戴方式、如何回答面试官的问题以及怎样表现以留下好的印象。(平行结构)
When taking a job interview, be careful about ______________， ________________________________________ and __________________________.
肢体语言与言语表达在实际交流中是共存的，并在一定程度上承担着传情达意的功能。因为地域文化的不同，肢体语言可能有相应的变化，并不是一个文化的所有成员都有相同的行为方式。在当今文化多元化的世界里，了解肢体语言有助于我们充分关注文化差异，增强文化意识。
Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student association, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international students.They were coming to study at Beijing University.We would take them first to their dormitories and then to the student canteen. the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them.
The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain.After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised.Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence.I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding.Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada.As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving hand.They both apologized — another cultural mistake!
Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan.When we met yesterday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself.I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand.When Darlene Coulon from France came dashing through the door, They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know.Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls.Men from Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not touch women.
As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural “body language”. touching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using unspoken “language” through physical distance, actions or posture. English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet.However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them.Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow.
These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed.I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general — not all members of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying international customs can certainly help avoid difficulties in today's world of cultural crossroads!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
People who don't feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others. However, anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their body language conveys a positive message. Practice these gestures and movements to project your confidence.
Lean Forward
When you are in a conversation, leaning forward indicates interest and attention, while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested. Research suggests that nonverbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest.
Slow Your Movements
Fast movements make you appear more anxious. Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time.
The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident.
Keep Your Chin Up
Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking？ Instead, keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner convey interest and confidence. It might feel unnatural initially, but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose.
Give a Firm Handshake
A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence, so offer a firm hand when meeting others. How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you.
Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less. Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety.
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种可以增强自信的手势和动作。
1．Which way of walking conveys confidence？
A．Walk fast with head straight up.
B．Move fast with a leaning posture.
C．Walk slowly with proper eye contact.
D．Move slowly with maintained distance.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据小标题Slow Your Movements下的“The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly.”可知，缓慢行走，眼神交流得当可以传达自信。
解析：细节理解题。根据小标题Give a Firm Handshake下的“How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you.”可知，握手需要考虑时间长短。
2．Which body language requires considering the length of time？
A．Lean Forward.
B．Slow Your Movements.
C．Keep Your Chin Up.
D．Give a Firm Handshake.
√
3．Who is the text intended for？
A．Those who have a passion for body language.
B．Those who run projects about body language.
C．Those who lack confidence in communication.
D．Those who desire to boost their language skills.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“People who don't feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others.”可知，文章是写给那些对沟通缺乏信心的人。
B
If you want to succeed in 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 tilting (倾斜) 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 much into the conversation at hand.
You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize (强调) a point. If you're ___________ things, it's better to use each of your fingers as you mention each item to help your audience keep track.
enumerating
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.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
People who don't feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others. However, anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their body language conveys a positive message. Practice these gestures and movements to project your confidence.
Lean Forward
When you are in a conversation, leaning forward indicates interest and attention, while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested. Research suggests that nonverbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest.
Slow Your Movements
Fast movements make you appear more anxious. Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time.
The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident.
Keep Your Chin Up
Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking Instead, keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner convey interest and confidence. It might feel unnatural initially, but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose.
Give a Firm Handshake
A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence, so offer a firm hand when meeting others. How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you.
Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less. Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety.
1．Which way of walking conveys confidence
A．Walk fast with head straight up.
B．Move fast with a leaning posture.
C．Walk slowly with proper eye contact.
D．Move slowly with maintained distance.
2．Which body language requires considering the length of time
A．Lean Forward.
B．Slow Your Movements.
C．Keep Your Chin Up.
D．Give a Firm Handshake.
3．Who is the text intended for
A．Those who have a passion for body language.
B．Those who run projects about body language.
C．Those who lack confidence in communication.
D．Those who desire to boost their language skills.
B
If you want to succeed in 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 tilting (倾斜) 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 much into the conversation at hand.
You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize (强调) a point. If you're enumerating 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 of body language through actual contact. Remember that in body language, it is your body that does the talking for you.
