One way to do this is with the right form of greeting. People from different countries use different forms of greetings. In the UK, people may just n 1 as they quickly walk by each other. In the USA, people like to s 2 hands. In France, people kiss each other on the cheek. In some parts of Russia, men kiss each other on the mouth. In Japan, people bow to each other as a greeting. In most countries, however, the e 3 on your face is the most important thing. People want you to like and accept them. Your body language, and not just your form of greeting, must show them this. Speaking of which, body language is the kind of unspoken communication that goes on in every face-to-face encounter. It tells people’s true feelings t 4 you and how well your words are being received. Between 60 to 80 percent of our m 5 is communicated through our body language, only 7 to 10 percent is through the actual words spoken in a conversation. Your ability to read and understand another person’s body language could help you on job interviews, meetings, or business talks. B 语法填空 Eye contact means looking into other people’s eyes. This is 1 very important part of body language. It can be the key to communication. Eye contact can show 2 (feel) such as friendliness, interest and understanding. In Western 3 (country) using eye contact in conversations is very important. If you do not use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not 4 (listen). And if you look away, they may also think that you are lying. 5 in many Asian countries, looking down when 6 (talk)to an older person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite. These ____7_______(different) can cause (造成) problems. For example, an Asian person might look down while listening to a Western speaker. The Western speaker might think this person is not 8 (interest) in what he or she is saying. Not using eye contact can cause problems, but using too much is 9 (polite), too. In many countries, watching other people, especially strangers, for a long time is impolite. This may make them ____10____ (feel) nervous. 六、语法选择 Sigh and you sigh alone, but smile and the whole world smiles with you. So 1 can smiles bring to you? Smiles improve 2 appearance. Smiling is an easy way 3 your looks. Just think about this: a person is sighing and the other one is smiling -who seems to have a 4 look? If a person often smiles, he possibly 5 a younger look. Smiles make things right again 6 say much more than words can. 7 you make a silly mistake, say something wrong, or feel lonely or sad, a smile can make things right again. A smile lets other people 8 that you're prepared to be open to them, and that you're willing to help. Smiles make you feel good. Even if you're feeling a little sad, put happy thoughts 9 your mind and just add a smile. The smile will make you cheerful and reduce your stress（压力） Smiles make other people 10 good. An open-mouthed smile shows that you're friendly. And people feel comfortable to see a smile, no matter __11_____they are.

It was the day of the big 1 , and I was the last one to speak. My heart almost stopped beating. I had got ready for weeks. But one thing I hadn’t 2 was my body language. I had always been 3 about my movements, afraid that they might show my nervousness. As I stood in the front of the classroom, I could feel my classmates and teacher 4 me.

Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America. Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up” or “________”. If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic. Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see. An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest! Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger! 1. Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in the blank “________”? A. This is me. B. I’m No.1. C. Who are you? D. Why not? 2. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Making eye contact with people is helpful. B. Characters can attract children by looking up. C. The number is useful to the study on characters. D. Many cereal boxes have characters looking down. 3. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Tony the Tiger. B. To tell people how to make a speech. C. To talk about Vanessa’s interesting study. D. To help people have better body language. 4. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. B How does it feel when someone listens to you without interrupting you? This is called active listening. 1 Active listening means trying to understand how someone feels by listening carefully to what they’re saying and by paying attention to their body language. 2 “When my friends tell me something important, I listen to what they’re trying to say. I can tell by their voice and the look on their face if they’re upset or happy. This makes me feel like I understand them better.” Listening closely to someone without interrupting or giving your own opinion shows that you’re interested in what they’re saying, even if you don’t agree. 3 It’s also a good way to improve your empathy (共情) skills because you’re learning to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Samaritans is an organization that supports people by listening to their worries. It says, “Really listening to people makes them feel valued and understood, and being able to listen carefully to others helps you be someone who others feel they can turn to and trust.” 4 Listen carefully to what your friend is saying, and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. If you really want to talk, make a listening sign like nodding your head instead. Ask questions or say things that need more than a yes or no answer, like “Tell me more”. 5 “Active listening is a skill and it takes a lot of practice,” says Samaritans, “but don’t give up, and remember you can only do your best.” A. How can you be an active listener? B. Annie, aged 11, explains what it means to her. C. It’s a great way to understand other people’s feelings and build trust between friends. D. This helps to avoid mistakes and arguments and can strengthen (加强) friendships. E. Try looking for clues (线索) about how they’re feeling in their face and body too. $Unit 2 Body language Section 4 Focusing culture,Cross-curricular connection,Project （分层练习） 基础达标 01 能力提升 02 拓展培优 03 词汇 shy adj. 羞怯的；腼腆的 case n. 具体情况；事例 direct adj.直接的 truly adv.真诚地 suppose v. 假定；假设 behaviour n. 行为；举止 uncomfortable adj.不自在的 句型 1.Eye contact means looking into another person's eyes. 眼神接触是指直视他人的眼睛。 2.But in many cases, eye contact is the key to good communication. 但在许多情况下，眼神交流是良好沟通的关键 3.These differences can cause problems. 这些差异可能会引发问题 4.Suppose that an East Asian woman meets a person from northern Europe for the first time 假设一位东亚女性首次遇见一位来自北欧的人 5.In fact, the East Asian woman is most likely showing respect and being polite. 事实上，东亚女性这样做很可能是出于尊重和礼貌。 6. looking down when talking with an older person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite. ……， 当与一个年纪比较大的人，像老师、父亲或母亲谈话的时候，向下看是礼貌的。 一、短语翻译 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.___________________眼神接触 2. ___________________直视某人 3. ___________________关键在于 4. ___________________在许多情况下 5. ___________________对….感兴趣 6. ___________________引发问题 7. ___________________首次 8. ___________________最有可能在做 【答案】1.Eye contact 2.look into one’s eyes 3.the key to 4.in many cases 5.be interested in 6.cause problems 7.for the first time 8.be most likely doing 一、单项选择 1.She used to be so ________ that she dared not speak in public, but now she can give speeches confidently.

Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America. Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up” or “________”. If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic. Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see. An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest! Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger! 1. Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in the blank “________”? A. This is me. B. I’m No.1. C. Who are you? D. Why not? 2. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Making eye contact with people is helpful. B. Characters can attract children by looking up. C. The number is useful to the study on characters. D. Many cereal boxes have characters looking down. 3. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Tony the Tiger. B. To tell people how to make a speech. C. To talk about Vanessa’s interesting study. D. To help people have better body language. 4. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 4. C 【解析】本文主要介绍了肢体语言的好处，鼓励人们更好地使用肢体语言。 1. 推理判断题。根据第二段“If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, ‘I am going up’”并结合配图中的手势可知，图中老虎托尼竖着一根手指，仿佛表示自己是第一名。故选B。 2. 段落大意题。通读第五段可知，通过对麦片盒子的研究，说明眼神交流可以增加爱和兴趣的感觉，这对人们来说是有助的。故选A。 3. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，在第一段，作者告诉我们，在演讲时，我们如何使用强有力的肢体语言来使自己显得强大；最后一段讲述我们在演讲中，良好的肢体语言可以吸引听众的注意力，帮助你与听众建立良好的关系。总结可知，作者写这篇文章是告诉人们肢体语言的好处，让人们更好地使用肢体语言。故选D。 4. 篇章结构题。第一段用“如何使用强有力的肢体语言来使自己显得强大呢？”总领全文；第二至四段通过托尼的例子来介绍如何使用肢体语言；第五段通过对麦片盒子的研究来介绍如何使用肢体语言；最后一段总结全文，点明运用肢体语言的好处。故文章结构为“总—分—总”结构。故选C。 B How does it feel when someone listens to you without interrupting you? This is called active listening. 1 Active listening means trying to understand how someone feels by listening carefully to what they’re saying and by paying attention to their body language. 2 “When my friends tell me something important, I listen to what they’re trying to say. I can tell by their voice and the look on their face if they’re upset or happy. This makes me feel like I understand them better.” Listening closely to someone without interrupting or giving your own opinion shows that you’re interested in what they’re saying, even if you don’t agree. 3 It’s also a good way to improve your empathy (共情) skills because you’re learning to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Samaritans is an organization that supports people by listening to their worries. It says, “Really listening to people makes them feel valued and understood, and being able to listen carefully to others helps you be someone who others feel they can turn to and trust.” 4 Listen carefully to what your friend is saying, and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. If you really want to talk, make a listening sign like nodding your head instead. Ask questions or say things that need more than a yes or no answer, like “Tell me more”. 5 “Active listening is a skill and it takes a lot of practice,” says Samaritans, “but don’t give up, and remember you can only do your best.” A. How can you be an active listener? B. Annie, aged 11, explains what it means to her. C. It’s a great way to understand other people’s feelings and build trust between friends. D. This helps to avoid mistakes and arguments and can strengthen (加强) friendships. E. Try looking for clues (线索) about how they’re feeling in their face and body too. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 4. A 5.
