These are all examples of body language. How important can it be? Follow Teens and have a look. Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings. According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, if your friend asks you to join him in a picnic, you will give him an "OK" gesture to say "Yes, sounds great!" Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another.You may do things unconsciously（无意识地）like touching your face while telling a lie. In different cultures, the same body language means different things.In the US, making eye contact with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person's eyes during a conversation. Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take "hello" for example. French people kiss cheeks to say hello. Japanese people bow（鞠躬）. Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting. What are you trying to say? Body language is important to teenagers. Understanding this language helps you to communicate better with others. （　　）31.What does an American mean if he makes eye contact with someone? A. He is bored with the person. B. He is interested in the person. C. He is angry with the person. D. He doesn't want to say anything. （　　）32. How many ways of saying "hello" are mentioned in this passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four.

Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure - - - those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now , however , there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds. I would consider bungee （蹦极） jumping to be a good example of such an activity . You jump from a high place （perhaps a bridge or a hot - air balloon） 200 meters above the ground with an elastic （有弹性的） rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff（悬崖）. For the reasons , some psychologists explain that many people think their life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food , diseases could not easily be cured , and life was a continuous war for survival. Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement, They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill . The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping. 56.
