必修四 Unit4 Body language (B)
阅读理解
A
Body language varies significantly across cultures. But what remains consistent across all known cultures are microexpressions. Microexpressions occur in everyone in a second, often without their knowledge. These facial expressions including surprise, anger, fear, disgust, happiness, and so on can reveal our true feelings about another person or situation.
People might try to hide or obscure(模糊) them in different ways informed by culture, but to a practiced reader the true emotions are always visible. In the Philippines, showing both positive and negative emotion is a sign of openness and honesty. But visible negative emotion is seen as rude or aggressive while expressing too much positive feeling is considered embarrassing in Japan. However, when we evaluate people from both countries for their microexpressions, we find that they actually experience emotions at more or less the same level of frequency.
A few years ago, my husband and I traveled to Qatar to lead a body language discussion for 200 HR(人力资源) leaders. Women’s bodies were completely covered, so we couldn’t see the posture or gestures. When standing on stage, all the men looked only at my husband and all the women merely at me. Luckily, we knew from the videos we’d previously made of Qataris that the flashes of emotion in their faces reflected the same feelings we might find from audience members anywhere else in the world. And so we could adjust what we want to show accordingly, and felt just as comfortable as we would have at home.
To recognize and understand miroexpressions, you should first study the common microexpressions to know the typical feature of each. And then educate yourself on the local body language — including masking techniques before visiting or interacting with another culture. Third, when you’re in the moment, pay much more attention. You can’t interpret microexpressions if you don’t notice them. Fourth, listen to your intuition(直觉). When you notice a tiny facial movement, ask yourself, “What could that mean?” Besides, you might also try to imitate the movement.
1. What is special about microexpressions?
A. They are brief and unaware. B. They are hidden and unusual.
C. They are natural but unnecessary. D. They are flexible but unavailable.
2. What is most useful for the body language discussion according to the author?
A. Getting well prepared. B. Being well organized.
C. Reacting with others actively. D. Using body language accordingly.
3. Which stage will you be in if you keep your focus on others’ face?
A. Step One. B. Step Two. C. Step Three. D. Step Four.
4. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Developing Greater Social Skills
B. Getting Better at Reading People
C. Behaving More Differently in Public
D. Learning More about Microexpressions
B
British people are famous for apologizing in almost every situation.Whether they are apologizing for asking a question, for their bad weather or because they sneezed, they are probably the number-one nation for apologies.
Brits pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. As a result, they often use the word “sorry” quite a lot — even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying “Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is?” If they are five minutes late for an appointment, they would generally greet the person by saying “Sorry, I’m late!”
That they say sorry does not only mean they feel sad for someone else because of their problems or misfortunes. Another main dictionary definition of “sorry” is feeling regret because they have done something wrong. And now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with “Sorry to disturb you”. In this situation, they aren’t saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret.
In the British culture, apologizing, in general, is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don’t know very well. Furthermore, it also can bring them other benefits in their daily life. In a recent experiment, an actor approached different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phones to make a call. When he approached one group of strangers and asked them without apologizing first, he was only 9% successful in borrowing their phones. However, when he apologized to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47% successful.
5. Why do British people say “sorry” so much?
A. To respect others.
B. To show their politeness.
C. To express their regret.
D. To apologize for their mistakes.
6. What can we infer about the word “sorry” from the third paragraph?
A. It is used in more situations than before.
B. It is embarrassing to use sorry improperly.
C. It has different meanings in different situations.
D. Its meaning is always hard to understand.
7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The secrets to dealing with strangers.
B. The ways of borrowing a phone.
C. The benefits of saying “sorry”.
D. The keys to being a polite man.
8. What’s the author’s attitude towards saying “sorry”?
A. Disapproval. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.

When you are studying foreign speech, don’t forget about body language. To help you master these significant parts of communication, here are four non-verbal characteristics that vary from culture to culture.
Gestures
When you are trying to communicate through a language barrier(the inability to talk with someone because you speak a different language), it’s natural to use gestures as a way of explaining your point. 9 Hand movements are, however, culturally relative, and the wrong gesture can lead to confusion.
The thumbs-up sign is equal to the middle finger in Greece and Sardinia. Tapping your finger to your temple is a gesture to show memory in North America, but it suggests insanity(精神错乱) in Russia. 10 The yes-no gestures are reversed(相反的) in countries like Bulgaria and Albania.
Silence
Though it can feel like a void in communication, silence can be very meaningful in different cultural contexts. Western cultures, especially cultures of North America and the UK, tend to view silence as problematic. In their communication at work, school, or with friends, silence is often regarded as a sign of disinterest. 11 In China, silence can be used to show agreement.
Touches
Britain is classed as a “non-contact’ culture, in which there’s very little physical contact in people’s daily communication. 12 By comparison, in the high-contact cultures of the Middle East, the physical touch is a big part of socializing.
Eye Contact
13 They tend to assume that a conversation partner who looks away is either disengaged or lying. Of course, this is not the standard around the world.
A. Even nodding yes can be misunderstood abroad.
B. Individual gestures can cause miscommunication.
C. Even accidentally brushing someone’s arm is a reason for an apology.
D. We think it’s helpful, since our words are being visually strengthened.
E. In most western countries, frequent eye contact is a sign of confidence.
F. Naturally, these different standards of contact can lead to misunderstanding.
G. In other cultures, however, silence is not viewed as a negative(消极的) situation.

I was now 26 the gate of the university and there stood still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud 27 in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her 28 , Nola Otis, aged 95.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
My Grandmother is 87 years old. She loves gardening, and she has got a habit of not sitting still as she loves to do some work all the time. In June, while working in the garden outside our home, she slipped(滑倒) and one of her bones was broken.
My father and I took her to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor said that the bone was broken from the joint and that there was no chance that she would ever walk, even after an operation. That was very sad for all of us. I looked into my grandmother’s face. She was looking at me as if I could do something to treat her. We asked the doctor if she could sit, and the doctor said “Yes, but only after an operation”.
She got operated on the next day. The operation was successful. The doctor didn’t believe that she would be able to walk on her own. For the next month, she did everything in bed only. All of us tried our best to take care of her. I remember those nights when she used to cry in great pain and we could only give her comfort. Once she said while crying, “I don’t want to live anymore, nothing is left now.” I got so sad listening to that but I told her one thing. I said, “Ma, maybe you have got a broken bone, but all the other parts of your body are working properly. It is OK if you can’t walk, but if you can sit, that would be excellent for us.”
Paragraph 1:
I don’t know exactly what happened to her after she listened to my words.
Paragraph 2:
After two and a half months, we went to the doctor who had operated my grandmother.

5.细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知英国人以他们在公共场合礼貌待人而自豪。因此,他们经常使用“对不起”这个词——即使他们并不是真正的意思!可知,英国人经常说sorry是显示礼貌。故选B项。

二、七选五
【答案】9-13 DAGCE
【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文向读者介绍了多个国家文化中各不相同的身体语言。
9上文提示:用手势来解释你的观点是很自然的。下文提示:然而,手的动作是与文化相关的,错误的手势会导致混淆。所以空格处应为承上启下的过渡句,与上句为递进关系,与下句句意相反。故D选项(我们认为这是有帮助的,因为我们的语言在视觉上被强化了。)符合句意。故D选项切题。
10.下文提示:在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚这样的国家,yes和no的手势是相反的。所以空格处要总说“甚至点头同意,在国外也可能被误解”然后再具体说明在哪个国家yes和no是相反的。故A选项切题。
11.上文提示:在日常工作、学习或与朋友的交流中,沉默通常被认为是一种冷漠的表现。所以空格处要与前一句构成转折关系,来说明沉默在其它不同的文化中的不同意思。故G选项(然而,在其他文化中,沉默并不被认为不好。)符合句意。故G选项切题。
12.上文提示:英国文化被归类为非接触式文化,在这种文化中,人们的日常交流中很少有身体接触。所以空格处是对前一句进一步的说明。故C选项(甚至不小心碰了别人的胳膊也是道歉的理由。)符合句意。故C选项切题。
13.下文提示:他们倾向于认为一个老看着别处的谈话伙伴要么对谈话不在意,要么是在撒谎。所以空格处与下一句一起是说明通过眼神交流所体现出的信息。故E选项(在大多数西方国家,频繁的眼神交流是自信的标志。)故E选项切题。

Dear Robert,
I’m glad to receive your email. Now I will tell you something about Chinese body language.
In China, we wave our hands to say “hello” or “goodbye”. We usually greet our guests by shaking hands with them. Some people may nod and smile instead of shaking hands. When you are introduced to a Chinese group, they may greet you by clapping their hands. Like in many other countries, we nod our heads to say “yes” and shake our heads to say “no”. People will hold their thumbs up to praise a person, if he does something great. Sometimes, we bow to show great respect and tanks to others.
I hope this information will be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

【范文】
Paragraph 1:
I don’t know exactly what happened to her after she listened to my words. But from that day on, she stopped complaining completely. Instead, she would say “I am alright and I will start walking soon to water my plants”. Supported by this faith, grandmother attempted to stand up every day. Grabbing the arms of her wheelchair with both hands, she tried to pull her legs up with the help of her upper body. Every day we could see her struggling to recover.
Paragraph 2:
After two and a half months we went to the doctor who had operated my grandmother. I entered his office with my grandmother and you guessed what! My grandmother walked in without any help. The doctor was shocked when watching her walking! My grandmother blessed him and gave him sincere thanks. She said, “If you had not been there, I could not have ever walked.”
