第一步：抒己见提升思维

because body language has trouble in hiding their anger， disappointment
or irritation.
2. Why do we need to learn body language？
（1）It helps us avoid misunderstanding in cross-cultural communication.
（2）It improves our communication skills by observing the facial
expressions and gestures of native speakers.
（3）It makes communication more comfortable and easier to understand.
（4）It helps those who lose the power of speech express their thoughts
and feelings.

篇章助解·释疑难
LISTENING TO HOW BODIES TALK
We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and
opinions in our interactions① with other people.We can learn a lot about
[1]what people are thinking [2]by watching their body language.Words
are important， but [3]the way people stand， hold their arms， and
move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
[1]what people are thinking是跟在介词about之后的宾语从句，
what在从句中作thinking的宾语。
[2]by watching their body language作方式状语。
[3]people stand， hold their arms， and move their hands是定语从
句，修饰先行词the way，此处省略了关系代词that或in which。
①interaction n.交流；相互影响
interaction with与……的交流
Just like spoken language， body language varies② from culture to
culture.The crucial③ thing is [4]using body language in a way that is
appropriate④ to the culture you are in.For example， [5]making eye
contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way to
display interest.In other countries， by contrast⑤， eye contact is not
always approved⑥ of.For example， in many Middle Eastern countries，
men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact.In Japan，
it may demonstrate⑦ respect to look down when talking to an older
person.
[4]动词-ing短语using body language ...作表语；that is
appropriate to the culture you are in是定语从句，修饰先行词a way，
that在从句中作主语；句中的you are in 也是一个定语从句，修饰先行
词the culture，关系代词which/that因在从句中作宾语而被省略了。
[5]动词-ing短语making eye contact作主语，谓语动词用第三人称
单数形式。
②vary vi.（根据情况）变化；改变
vary from ...to ...由……到……不等
various adj.各种各样的
variety n.多样化
③crucial adj.至关重要的；关键性的
④appropriate adj.合适的；恰当的
be appropriate for/to适合……
It is appropriate （for sb） to do sth（某人）做某事是合适的
⑤by contrast 相比之下
⑥approve vi.赞成；同意
vt.批准；通过
approve of 赞成；满意
approval n.赞成
⑦demonstrate vt.表现；表达；说明；证明
The gesture⑧ for “OK” has different meanings in different
cultures.In Japan， someone [6]who witnesses⑨ another person
employing⑩ the gesture might think it means money.In France， a person
[7]encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning
zero.However， you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and
Germany， as it is not considered polite.
[6]who witnesses another person employing the gesture是who引导
的定语从句，修饰先行词someone。
[7]encountering an identical gesture是动词-ing短语作后置定语，
修饰a person， a person与encounter之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。动词-
ing短语meaning zero作介词as的宾语。
⑧gesture n.手势；姿势；姿态
⑨witness vt.当场看到；目击；见证n.目击者；证人
witness sb doing sth见证某人做某事
⑩employ vt.使用；应用；雇用
employ sb as ...雇用某人当……
employ sb to do sth雇用某人做某事
employee n.雇员
employer n.雇主
identical adj.相同的
be identical to/with与……一样
interpret vt.把……理解（解释）为vi.& vt.口译
interpret ...as ...把……理解为……
Even the gestures [8]we use for “yes” and “no” differ around
the world.In many countries， [9]shaking one’s head means “no”，
and nodding means “yes”.By comparison ， in Bulgaria and southern
Albania， the gestures have the opposite meaning.There are also
differences in [10]how we touch each other， how close we stand to
someone we are talking to， and how we act when we meet or part.In
countries like France and Russia， people may kiss their friends on the
cheek when they meet.Elsewhere， people favour [11]shaking
hands， bowing from the waist ， or nodding the head when they meet
someone else.
[8]we use for “yes” and “no”是省略关系代词which/that的定
语从句，修饰先行词the gestures。
[9]动词-ing短语shaking one’s head和nodding都在句中作主语，
谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[10]how we touch ...， how close we stand ...， and how we
act ...是三个由how引导的并列宾语从句，连接方式是A，B， and
C；其中we are talking to是定语从句，修饰先行词someone；when we
meet or part是由when引导的时间状语从句。
[11]shaking hands， bowing from the waist， or nodding the head
是三个并列的动词-ing短语作favour的宾语，连接方式是A，B， or
C；when they meet someone else是由when引导的时间状语从句。
differ vi.相异；不同于
differ from＝be different from 与……不同/有区别
differ in 在……方面不同
different adj.不同的
difference n.不同；区别

bow to sb 向某人鞠躬
waist n.腰；腰部
Some gestures seem to have the same meaning
everywhere.[12]Placing your hands together and resting them on the
side of your head [13] while closing your eyes means “sleep”.A good
way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your
stomach after a meal.
[12]Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your
head是两个并列的动词-ing短语作主语，表示同一件事，谓语动词用
第三人称单数形式。
[13]while closing your eyes是省略了you are的状语从句。
rest v.（被）支撑；（使）倚靠；托
a way of doing sth做某事的方法
Some body language has many different uses.Perhaps the best
example is smiling.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 [14] to apologise， to greet someone， to ask for
help， or to start a conversation.Experts suggest [15]smiling at yourself
in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger.And if we are
feeling down or lonely， [16]there is nothing better than seeing the
smiling face of a good friend.
[14]to apologise， to greet someone， to ask for help， or to start a
conversation是四个并列的目的状语，连接方式是A， B， C， or D。
[15]动词-ing短语smiling at yourself in the mirror作suggest的宾
语，动词不定式短语to make yourself feel happier and stronger作目的
状语。
[16]there is nothing better than是比较级用于否定句中表达最高级
含义。
get through 度过；（设法）做完；完成；通过（测试等）
break down 消除；分解；打破
barrier n.隔阂；障碍
language barrier 语言障碍
feel down 感到沮丧
参考译文
听听肢体是怎么说话的
在与他人的交往中，我们用话语和肢体语言来表达自己的思想和
观点。通过观察人们的肢体语言，我们可以洞察他们的想法。话语十
分重要，但是人们站立、双手抱臂和移动双手的姿势，也能为我们提
供有关他们情感的信息。
不同的文化有着不同的肢体语言，这与口头语言相似。使用肢体
语言时，最重要的是要符合你所处的文化。例如，在一些国家，眼神
交流（即直视某人的眼睛）是表示兴趣的一种方式。相反，在另一些
国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可。例如，在许多中东国家，社交上不
允许男性和女性进行眼神交流。在日本，与年长者交谈时，目光下垂
表示敬重。
“OK”这个手势在不同的文化中有着不同的含义。在日本，
一个人看到另外一个人使用这一手势，可能会认为这表示金钱。
在法国，看到同一个手势的人可能会将其解读为“零”。然而，
在巴西和德国，你应该避免做出这一手势，因为这是一个被视为
不礼貌的手势。
甚至连用于表示肯定和否定的身势语，在世界各地也不尽相同。
在许多国家，摇头表示否定，点头表示肯定。相比之下，在保加利亚
和阿尔巴尼亚南部地区，这两个身势语的含义截然相反。在身体接触
方式、站着交谈时双方的距离、见面和告别的动作方面，也有很多差
异。在法国、俄罗斯等国，朋友见面时会相互亲吻脸颊。在其他地
区，与别人见面时，人们更喜欢握手、鞠躬或点头。
有些手势似乎在任何地方含义都相同。双手合十放在头部的一
侧，同时闭上你的眼睛，意为“睡觉”。表示“我吃饱了”的一个好
方式，就是在饭后用手在肚子上画圈。
某些肢体语言有着许多不同的用处。也许最佳的例子就是微
笑了。微笑可以帮助我们摆脱困境，在陌生的世界里找到朋友。
微笑可以打破隔阂。我们可以用微笑来道歉、问候他人、寻求帮
助或主动攀谈。专家们建议，我们应该对着镜子微笑，让自己感
到更加快乐和坚强。当我们感到沮丧或孤单时，最美好的事情莫
过于看到好友的笑脸。

阅读理解
A
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 （交叉） 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 interested in the
conversation at hand.
You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize （强调）
a point.If you’re enumerating （列举） 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 （界限） of body language through actual
contact.Remember that in body language， it is your body that does the
talking for you.

√
B
When you have something meaningful to say， and your goal is to
recreate your core idea inside your audience’s minds， how do you do
that？
Humans have developed a technology that makes this possible.It’s
called language.It makes your brain do incredible things.
I want you to imagine an elephant， with its trunk painted bright
red， waving it with the steps of a giant orange parrot dancing on the
elephant’s head.
Wow！ You have just formed in your mind an image of something
that has never existed in history.A single sentence can do that.
At Princeton University， Dr Uri Hasson has been doing
groundbreaking research to try to discover how this process works.It’s
possible to capture in real time the complex brain activity associated with
building a concept or remembering a story.It requires a technology called
fMRI.
In one experiment in 2015， Dr Hasson put a group of volunteers into
fMRI machines and played them a 50-minute film that told a story.As they
experienced the story， their brains’ response patterns were
recorded.Some of those patterns could be matched across almost every
volunteer， giving concrete physical evidence of the shared experience
they were having.Then he asked the volunteers to record their own
recollections of the film.Many of these recordings were quite detailed and
lasted as long as 20 minutes.
Now — and this is the surprising part — he played those recordings to
another group of volunteers who had never seen the film， and recorded
their fMRI data.The patterns shown in the brains of the second set of
volunteers， those who listened to the audio recollections only， matched
those patterns shown in the minds of the first set of volunteers as they
watched the movie！

程中，“倾听”是最重要的，其他方式的效果都不好。

elephant？（ ）

C. Sentences can be powerful.
D. Sentences are based on pictures.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，在谈话过程中，“倾
听”是最有效的方法，很多时候它甚至比听明白更重要。
√
6. What was another group of volunteers asked to do？（ ）
A. Retell a movie. B. Watch a movie.
C. Make up a story. D. Listen to a story.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的we move the focus of attention
to ourselves可知，打断对方说话，无非是把注意力移向自己，这向对
方传递的信息就是：我们不在意他们的谈话内容。
√
7. What did Dr Hasson’s experiment find？（ ）
A. The two groups had similar reaction.
B. The two groups responded differently.
C. The first group understood the film better.
D. The second group provided more details.
解析： 推理判断题。第三段谈到作者的个人经历，结合下文中的
shut down （阻止）可知，当对方哭的时候递给对方纸巾，是想让对
方停止“哭泣”。
√
8. What would be the best title for the passage？（ ）
A. What Is fMRI？
B. How Does fMRI Work？
C. The Power of Language
D. The Importance of Imagination
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知，虽然我们知道了
“倾听”在谈话中很重要，但是要我们做到却很不容易，主要是因为
这与我们从小所接受的教育相违背。

Amy Cuddy， a Harvard psychologist， has devoted her studies to
the influence body language that has on your confidence ...and finally，
success.Her biggest findings center on the powerful effects of positive
body language.Positive body language includes things like proper eye
contact， active listening， and gestures that show the message you’re
trying to express.Studies show that people who use positive body language
are more likable （讨人喜欢的）， persuasive， and emotionally
intelligent.Here’s how it works.
Positive body language changes your attitude.Cuddy found that
consciously （有意识地） changing your body language to make it more
positive improves your attitude because it has a powerful influence on your
body.
It makes you more likable.In a Tufts University study， people
watched soundless videos of doctors interacting with their patients.Just by
observing the doctors’ body language， people were able to guess which
doctors ended up getting complained about by their patients.Body
language plays a big role in how you’re viewed and can be more
important than your voice or even what you say.Learning to use positive
body language will make people like you and trust you more.
It improves your emotional intelligence.Your ability to effectively
communicate your emotions and ideas is central to your emotional
intelligence.People whose body language is negative have a destructive
effect on those around them.Working to improve your body language has a
great effect on your emotional intelligence.
We often think of body language as the result of our attitude or how
we feel.This is true， but psychologists have also shown that the opposite
is true：changing your body language changes your attitude.
Have you felt the influence of changing your body language？ Please

Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and
relationships.For example， in American culture the smile is in general an
expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman’s smile at a
police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a
young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true
feelings.It often causes confusion across cultures.For example， many
people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and
even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public
places （although this is less common in big cities）.
Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places；some
Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough.In Southeast Asian
cultures， a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese
people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions， but we should not attempt to “read”
people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own
culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions
as openly as members of another does not mean that they do not experience
emotions.Rather， there are cultural differences in the amount of facial
expressiveness permitted.For example， in public and in formal situations
many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans
do.When with friends， Japanese and Americans seem to show their
emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness
because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People
from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more
facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose
ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own
cultural habits， we may make the mistake of “reading” the other
person incorrectly.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Nonviolent communication is a communication strategy that focuses
on honestly expressing your deepest feelings and needs to someone， and
being able to empathetically listen to theirs.9.（ ）：
Observations
Making observations involves describing the objective， factual
elements of a situation without any judgment.It focuses on what can be
observed rather than assumed or interpreted， which can sometimes be
incorrect.Reserving judgment can help prevent defensiveness and gives
your partner room to open up to you.
Example
Instead of：“10.（ ）.” Try saying：“I noticed that during
our conversation yesterday， you were looking at your phone and
weren’t responding to me.”
Feelings
Identifying and expressing your emotions can help you understand
yourself and connect with your partner.11.（ ）.This process
involves exploring how your partner’s words and actions affect your
feelings.However， it’s important to take ownership of your feelings，
rather than attributing them to your partner.
Example
Instead of：“You make me angry when you cancel plans.” Try
saying：“I felt sad and disappointed when our plans got canceled because
I was really excited to see you.”
Needs
Introspection （反省） can help you understand your deepest
needs.Once you’ve identified your needs， it’s important to learn how
to express them without blaming or criticizing the other person.
Example
Instead of：“12.（ ）.” Try saying：“I need more quality
time and intimacy （亲密） in our relationship.”
Requests
Making clear， specific， and doable requests allows you to ask your
partner for what you need.The key is to orient your requests around what
you need instead of making demands or complaining about things you
dislike.
Example
Instead of：“You never have time for me.” Try saying：“13.
（ ）？ I would love to spend some quality time together.”
A. You always ignore me
B. Could you do me a favour
C. You never spend time with me
D. Could we go out this Friday evening
E. Violent communication is very common in our lives
F. Nonviolent communication consists of four components
G. It can help your partner understand your experiences and recognise
your needs
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。非暴力沟通是一种沟通策略，专注
于诚实地表达你最深的感受和需求，并能够同情地倾听他们的意
见。
9. F 本文首段简要介绍了“非暴力沟通”这一概念，下文详细
阐述了它的四个组成部分，故F项（非暴力沟通由四个部分组成）
符合语境。
10. A 根据下文you were looking at your phone and weren’t
responding to me可知，A项（你总是忽略我）符合语境。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。非暴力沟通是一种沟通策略，专注
于诚实地表达你最深的感受和需求，并能够同情地倾听他们的意
见。
11. G 这里上下文都在强调通过准确表达你的情感来跟你的同伴建
立联系，故G项（它可以帮助你的搭档理解你的经历并认识到你的需
要）符合语境。
12. C 根据语境可知，下句I need more quality time and intimacy （亲
密） in our relationship.是对设空处句子的委婉表达方式，故C项符合
语境。
13. D 这里作者不主张我们说You never have time for me.，而是建议
我们采取更委婉、更温和的表达方式，故D项（本周五晚上我们可以
出去吗）符合语境。
Ⅲ.完形填空
It may be difficult to understand non-verbal messages because
different cultures have different expectations about eye contact，
physical 14 ， etc.
Let’s consider eye contact.Children from many Latin American and
Asian 15 show respect by avoiding the glance of important persons.A
teacher who’s 16 with this， however， might consider the lack of
eye contact as a sign of disrespect.For many American Indian
children， 17 a teacher in the eye and answering her question in front
of the class is “showing off”.
Culture greatly 18 attitudes towards physical contact， whether
it’s a handshake， hug， or pat on the back.In Asia， female
friends 19 hold hands and men casually （随便地） hug one another
as they walk down the street.Americans， however， may feel 20
with such public behavior.In some Asian cultures， affectionately patting
an adult’s head is strictly taboo （禁忌的）， 21 it can be
acceptable behavior between adults and young children.
How 22 should people stand to each other when they’re having
a conversation？ In areas of the Middle East and South America， people
stand very close when 23 .Europeans like to have more distance
between them， while some Africans 24 even more space.You can
create great discomfort by standing too close to another person.Not
being 25 of this can even prevent someone from understanding
or 26 the ideas you’re trying to get across.
To create a positive environment for communication， your non-
verbal message must closely 27 your verbal message.One way to do
this is to carefully observe how children and families speak and behave
around each other and with people they respect.This can 28 clues
about the true meaning of their non-verbal interactions.

（1）It helps us avoid misunderstanding in cross-cultural communication.
（2）It improves our communication skills by observing the facial
expressions and gestures of native speakers.

（4）It helps those who lose the power of speech express their thoughts
and feelings.

篇章助解·释疑难
LISTENING TO HOW BODIES TALK
We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and
opinions in our interactions① with other people.We can learn a lot about
[1]what people are thinking [2]by watching their body language.Words
are important， but [3]the way people stand， hold their arms， and
move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
[1]what people are thinking是跟在介词about之后的宾语从句，
what在从句中作thinking的宾语。
[2]by watching their body language作方式状语。
[3]people stand， hold their arms， and move their hands是定语从
句，修饰先行词the way，此处省略了关系代词that或in which。
①interaction n.交流；相互影响
interaction with与……的交流
Just like spoken language， body language varies② from culture to
culture.The crucial③ thing is [4]using body language in a way that is
appropriate④ to the culture you are in.For example， [5]making eye
contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way to
display interest.In other countries， by contrast⑤， eye contact is not
always approved⑥ of.For example， in many Middle Eastern countries，
men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact.In Japan，
it may demonstrate⑦ respect to look down when talking to an older
person.
[4]动词-ing短语using body language ...作表语；that is
appropriate to the culture you are in是定语从句，修饰先行词a way，
that在从句中作主语；句中的you are in 也是一个定语从句，修饰先行
词the culture，关系代词which/that因在从句中作宾语而被省略了。
[5]动词-ing短语making eye contact作主语，谓语动词用第三人称
单数形式。
②vary vi.（根据情况）变化；改变
vary from ...to ...由……到……不等
various adj.各种各样的
variety n.多样化
③crucial adj.至关重要的；关键性的
④appropriate adj.合适的；恰当的
be appropriate for/to适合……
It is appropriate （for sb） to do sth（某人）做某事是合适的
⑤by contrast 相比之下
⑥approve vi.赞成；同意
vt.批准；通过
approve of 赞成；满意
approval n.赞成
⑦demonstrate vt.表现；表达；说明；证明
The gesture⑧ for “OK” has different meanings in different
cultures.In Japan， someone [6]who witnesses⑨ another person
employing⑩ the gesture might think it means money.In France， a person
[7]encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning
zero.However， you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and
Germany， as it is not considered polite.
[6]who witnesses another person employing the gesture是who引导
的定语从句，修饰先行词someone。
[7]encountering an identical gesture是动词-ing短语作后置定语，
修饰a person， a person与encounter之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。动词-
ing短语meaning zero作介词as的宾语。
⑧gesture n.手势；姿势；姿态
⑨witness vt.当场看到；目击；见证n.目击者；证人
witness sb doing sth见证某人做某事
⑩employ vt.使用；应用；雇用
employ sb as ...雇用某人当……
employ sb to do sth雇用某人做某事
employee n.雇员
employer n.雇主
identical adj.相同的
be identical to/with与……一样
interpret vt.把……理解（解释）为vi.& vt.口译
interpret ...as ...把……理解为……
Even the gestures [8]we use for “yes” and “no” differ around
the world.In many countries， [9]shaking one’s head means “no”，
and nodding means “yes”.By comparison ， in Bulgaria and southern
Albania， the gestures have the opposite meaning.There are also
differences in [10]how we touch each other， how close we stand to
someone we are talking to， and how we act when we meet or part.In
countries like France and Russia， people may kiss their friends on the
cheek when they meet.Elsewhere， people favour [11]shaking
hands， bowing from the waist ， or nodding the head when they meet
someone else.

[11]shaking hands， bowing from the waist， or nodding the head
是三个并列的动词-ing短语作favour的宾语，连接方式是A，B， or
C；when they meet someone else是由when引导的时间状语从句。

Some gestures seem to have the same meaning
everywhere.[12]Placing your hands together and resting them on the
side of your head [13] while closing your eyes means “sleep”.A good
way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your
stomach after a meal.
[12]Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your

Some body language has many different uses.Perhaps the best
example is smiling.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 [14] to apologise， to greet someone， to ask for
help， or to start a conversation.Experts suggest [15]smiling at yourself

smiling face of a good friend.

参考译文
听听肢体是怎么说话的
在与他人的交往中，我们用话语和肢体语言来表达自己的思想和
观点。通过观察人们的肢体语言，我们可以洞察他们的想法。话语十
分重要，但是人们站立、双手抱臂和移动双手的姿势，也能为我们提
供有关他们情感的信息。
不同的文化有着不同的肢体语言，这与口头语言相似。使用肢体
语言时，最重要的是要符合你所处的文化。例如，在一些国家，眼神
交流（即直视某人的眼睛）是表示兴趣的一种方式。相反，在另一些
国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可。例如，在许多中东国家，社交上不
允许男性和女性进行眼神交流。在日本，与年长者交谈时，目光下垂
表示敬重。
“OK”这个手势在不同的文化中有着不同的含义。在日本，
一个人看到另外一个人使用这一手势，可能会认为这表示金钱。
在法国，看到同一个手势的人可能会将其解读为“零”。然而，
在巴西和德国，你应该避免做出这一手势，因为这是一个被视为
不礼貌的手势。
甚至连用于表示肯定和否定的身势语，在世界各地也不尽相同。
在许多国家，摇头表示否定，点头表示肯定。相比之下，在保加利亚
和阿尔巴尼亚南部地区，这两个身势语的含义截然相反。在身体接触
方式、站着交谈时双方的距离、见面和告别的动作方面，也有很多差
异。在法国、俄罗斯等国，朋友见面时会相互亲吻脸颊。在其他地
区，与别人见面时，人们更喜欢握手、鞠躬或点头。
有些手势似乎在任何地方含义都相同。双手合十放在头部的一
侧，同时闭上你的眼睛，意为“睡觉”。表示“我吃饱了”的一个好
方式，就是在饭后用手在肚子上画圈。
某些肢体语言有着许多不同的用处。也许最佳的例子就是微
笑了。微笑可以帮助我们摆脱困境，在陌生的世界里找到朋友。
微笑可以打破隔阂。我们可以用微笑来道歉、问候他人、寻求帮
助或主动攀谈。专家们建议，我们应该对着镜子微笑，让自己感
到更加快乐和坚强。当我们感到沮丧或孤单时，最美好的事情莫
过于看到好友的笑脸。

A
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 （交叉） 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 interested in the
conversation at hand.
You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize （强调）
a point.If you’re enumerating （列举） 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 （界限） of body language through actual
contact.Remember that in body language， it is your body that does the
talking for you.

B
When you have something meaningful to say， and your goal is to
recreate your core idea inside your audience’s minds， how do you do
that？
Humans have developed a technology that makes this possible.It’s
called language.It makes your brain do incredible things.
I want you to imagine an elephant， with its trunk painted bright
red， waving it with the steps of a giant orange parrot dancing on the
elephant’s head.
Wow！ You have just formed in your mind an image of something
that has never existed in history.A single sentence can do that.
At Princeton University， Dr Uri Hasson has been doing
groundbreaking research to try to discover how this process works.It’s
possible to capture in real time the complex brain activity associated with
building a concept or remembering a story.It requires a technology called
fMRI.
In one experiment in 2015， Dr Hasson put a group of volunteers into
fMRI machines and played them a 50-minute film that told a story.As they
experienced the story， their brains’ response patterns were
recorded.Some of those patterns could be matched across almost every
volunteer， giving concrete physical evidence of the shared experience
they were having.Then he asked the volunteers to record their own
recollections of the film.Many of these recordings were quite detailed and
lasted as long as 20 minutes.
Now — and this is the surprising part — he played those recordings to
another group of volunteers who had never seen the film， and recorded
their fMRI data.The patterns shown in the brains of the second set of
volunteers， those who listened to the audio recollections only， matched
those patterns shown in the minds of the first set of volunteers as they
watched the movie！

解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的we move the focus of attention

这与我们从小所接受的教育相违背。

Amy Cuddy， a Harvard psychologist， has devoted her studies to
the influence body language that has on your confidence ...and finally，
success.Her biggest findings center on the powerful effects of positive
body language.Positive body language includes things like proper eye
contact， active listening， and gestures that show the message you’re
trying to express.Studies show that people who use positive body language
are more likable （讨人喜欢的）， persuasive， and emotionally
intelligent.Here’s how it works.
Positive body language changes your attitude.Cuddy found that
consciously （有意识地） changing your body language to make it more
positive improves your attitude because it has a powerful influence on your
body.
It makes you more likable.In a Tufts University study， people
watched soundless videos of doctors interacting with their patients.Just by
observing the doctors’ body language， people were able to guess which
doctors ended up getting complained about by their patients.Body
language plays a big role in how you’re viewed and can be more
important than your voice or even what you say.Learning to use positive
body language will make people like you and trust you more.
It improves your emotional intelligence.Your ability to effectively
communicate your emotions and ideas is central to your emotional
intelligence.People whose body language is negative have a destructive
effect on those around them.Working to improve your body language has a
great effect on your emotional intelligence.
We often think of body language as the result of our attitude or how
we feel.This is true， but psychologists have also shown that the opposite
is true：changing your body language changes your attitude.
Have you felt the influence of changing your body language？ Please

Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and
relationships.For example， in American culture the smile is in general an
expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman’s smile at a
police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a
young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true
feelings.It often causes confusion across cultures.For example， many
people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and
even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public
places （although this is less common in big cities）.
Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places；some
Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough.In Southeast Asian
cultures， a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese
people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions， but we should not attempt to “read”
people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own
culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions
as openly as members of another does not mean that they do not experience
emotions.Rather， there are cultural differences in the amount of facial
expressiveness permitted.For example， in public and in formal situations
many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans
do.When with friends， Japanese and Americans seem to show their
emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness
because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People
from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more
facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose
ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own
cultural habits， we may make the mistake of “reading” the other
person incorrectly.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Nonviolent communication is a communication strategy that focuses
on honestly expressing your deepest feelings and needs to someone， and
being able to empathetically listen to theirs.9.（ ）：
Observations
Making observations involves describing the objective， factual
elements of a situation without any judgment.It focuses on what can be
observed rather than assumed or interpreted， which can sometimes be
incorrect.Reserving judgment can help prevent defensiveness and gives
your partner room to open up to you.
Example
Instead of：“10.（ ）.” Try saying：“I noticed that during
our conversation yesterday， you were looking at your phone and
weren’t responding to me.”
Feelings
Identifying and expressing your emotions can help you understand
yourself and connect with your partner.11.（ ）.This process
involves exploring how your partner’s words and actions affect your
feelings.However， it’s important to take ownership of your feelings，
rather than attributing them to your partner.
Example
Instead of：“You make me angry when you cancel plans.” Try
saying：“I felt sad and disappointed when our plans got canceled because
I was really excited to see you.”
Needs
Introspection （反省） can help you understand your deepest
needs.Once you’ve identified your needs， it’s important to learn how
to express them without blaming or criticizing the other person.
Example
Instead of：“12.（ ）.” Try saying：“I need more quality
time and intimacy （亲密） in our relationship.”
Requests
Making clear， specific， and doable requests allows you to ask your
partner for what you need.The key is to orient your requests around what
you need instead of making demands or complaining about things you
dislike.
Example
Instead of：“You never have time for me.” Try saying：“13.
（ ）？ I would love to spend some quality time together.”
A. You always ignore me
B. Could you do me a favour
C. You never spend time with me
D. Could we go out this Friday evening
E. Violent communication is very common in our lives
F. Nonviolent communication consists of four components
G. It can help your partner understand your experiences and recognise
your needs

How 22 should people stand to each other when they’re having
a conversation？ In areas of the Middle East and South America， people
stand very close when 23 .Europeans like to have more distance

To create a positive environment for communication， your non-
