Module 3 Body Language and Non-verbal Communication
培优练习
一、语法填空。
Communication is a part of our everyday life. Humans are social beings and we need to live with other people. 1 we communicate, we can make use of both spoken and written language. But are they enough? The answer is NO. Sometimes we have to communicate by using body movements instead of words. This is called body language.
Body language is very important in our lives 2 several reasons.
Firstly, it makes our communication more colourful. It’s really hard to imagine a conversation without any body language 3 (involve). How dull and 4 (bore) it will be to just talk without any gestures, facial expressions or any other body movements! Body language makes 5 (we) talking more lively and interesting.
Secondly, it makes our communication more effective. Sometimes a gesture or a facial expression can make us more easily and quickly understood. Take 6 good speaker for example：his or her body movements will help him or her leave a deeper and stronger 7 (impress) on listeners.
Finally, sometimes we have to use body language. On some occasions, we are not allowed 8 (speak) loudly. Examples of this 9 (be) in the library or in the quiet classroom. Then body language will be quite necessary. Also, when we meet someone in the street, there is no need for us to stop for a long chat, 10 a nod or a wave may be OK.

There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old，short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet(字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.

三、阅读理解。
There are two main types of non-verbal communication. Body language is the first. Body language is body movements that depend on a person’s attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk, how they stand, and their facial features. In other words, any kind of meaning is shown by a person’s attitude or body movements. For example, when a boy is sad he may drop his head and walk slowly. Or, if a girl is happy, she might run and jump or stand up straight and put her hands in the air. People don’t have to say anything to show how they feel about things. The colour of people’s skin may even show how they feel. For example, if people with light coloured skin get embarrassed, their skin may turn red, or if they are worried, they might get pale. Body language can be voluntary or involuntary. An interesting fact is that blind children will smile when happy even though they have never seen a smile.
The next main type of non-verbal communication is gestures. Gestures are communications like facial expressions, hand signals, eye gazing, and body postures. Examples include smiles, handshakes, waving, and raising certain fingers to say something. For instance, if you saw a friend at a noisy carnival, you might smile and wave at your friend. You might also point at the Ferris wheel if you wanted to meet your friend there. You could do all of these things without saying a word. Another great example is in baseball when the catcher signals to the pitcher the kind of pitch to use for the batter that is up.
1. If a boy passes the final exam he ________.
A．might not raise his head
B．might walk home slowly
C．might run home singing
D．might not stand there straight
2. When someone gets pale he is most likely to be ________.
A．anxious B．surprised
C．embarrassed D．disappointed
3. Which one of the following is WRONG according to this passage?
A．Body language is mainly expressed by one’s body movements.
B．The blind children can also smile when they are glad.
C．You can also express yourself without saying a word in baseball.
D．Gestures can be shown only by one’s hands.
4. All the following are gestures except ________.
A．hand signals B．coloured skin
C．hand wave D．eye gazing
答案与解析
一、选择题。
1-5 CCDCB 6-10 ABACD
1．C【解析】当这个小学生撒谎说他生病了时，他紧张的表情使他露了马脚。give away“泄露(秘密)，暴露”。give off“发出(蒸汽、光等)”；give out“分发；发出”；give up“放弃”。
2．C【解析】不管问题有多难，你必须尽最大努力解决它。however引导让步状语从句，后跟形容词或副词；whatever不能修饰形容词；no matter后接形容词的正确形式是no matter how。
3．D【解析】 “小偷进来时谁执勤？”“很抱歉，我不知道。”on guard“值班”，符合题意。on show“被展出”；on business“为了生意，为了公事”；on a visit“在访问，在参观”。
4．C【解析】肉的价格随着季节的变化而有很大不同。根据句意，因为主语是prices，故谓语动词用vary。vary是动词，“变化，不同”；various是形容词，“不同的，各种各样的”；variety是名词，“多样性”。
5．B【解析】我在做饭时不小心切了手。by accident＝by chance“偶然，无意中；不小心”，符合题意。by the way“顺便说说，顺便提起”；in the way“挡道，妨碍”。
6．A【解析】 “我认为一个人如果能意识到自己的缺点，就能获得更大的进步。”“我完全赞同。”conscious“自觉的，意识到的”，符合题意，其反义词为unconscious“不省人事的，未发觉的，无意识的”；informal“不正式的，不拘礼节的”，其反义词formal“正式的，合礼仪的”。
7．B【解析】如果你擅长英语，你就会发现在国外与人们交流起来非常容易。communicate with sb.“与……沟通”，符合题意。communicate sth.to sb.“把……传达给某人”；agree to sth.“同意某事”；agree with“同意……的意见；与……一致；对……适合”。
8．A【解析】地震发生时，这个年轻人惊恐地躲到了床底下。panic“惊慌，恐慌”，其过去式为panicked。threaten“威胁，恐吓”；amaze“使惊奇”。

10．D【解析】 “这周末去爬山怎么样？”“爬山有太多的危险。”involve为及物动词，意为“包括”，dangers和involve构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用过去分词来做后置定语。

3. D【解析】正误判断题。从第二段第二句可知D项表达的意思与文章不吻合，因为手势语不只是只用手表达，面部、眼睛等身体部位都可以表达出不同的意思。
4. B【解析】细节理解题。从第一段第九、十句可知light coloured skin属于身体语言，不属于手势语，故选B项。
