Paragraph 2-4 Body language with different meanings in different cultures 02 Paragraph 1 Introduction to body language 01 Paragraph 6 Body language with different uses 03 Paragraph 5 Body language with the same meaning everywhere 04 We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings. Detailed reading: read paragraph 1 在与人交往中，我们会通过语言和肢体动作来表达自己的想法与观点。观察他人的肢体语言，我们能读懂他们内心的诸多想法。语言固然重要，但人们的站姿、抱臂姿态以及手部动作，同样能够传递自身的情绪与感受。 Answer the questions “Interaction” means “communication”. the meaning of the word “interaction” 01 It is a transitional sentence. the function of the last sentence 02 Detailed reading: read paragraphs 2-4 Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way to display interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of. For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to an older person. 和口语一样，肢体语言也因文化而异。关键在于使用贴合所处文化环境的肢体语言。例如，在一些国家，眼神交流，也就是注视对方的眼睛，是表达感兴趣的一种方式。相比之下，在另一些国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可。比如在许多中东国家，社会习俗不允许男女之间进行眼神交流。而在日本，与长辈交谈时低头，是表达尊重的方式。 Paragraph 3 The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person 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. “OK” 手势在不同文化中含义各异。在日本，人们看到这个手势时，可能会认为它代表金钱。在法国，人们见到同样的手势，会将其理解为数字零。然而，在巴西和德国，应避免使用该手势，因为它被视为不礼貌的行为。 What does the word “avoid” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Admire. B. prevent. C. Agree. D. Allow. 词义猜测题（高考常考） What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Reading enriches the mind. B. Many heads are better than one. C. It’s never too old to learn. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 推理题（高考常考） Paragraph 4 Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, 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 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 shaking hands, bowing from the waist, or nodding the head when they meet someone else. 即使是我们表示 “是” 和 “否” 的手势，在世界各地也不尽相同。在许多国家，摇头表示 “否”、点头表示 “是”。相比之下，在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部，这些手势的含义恰好相反。人们的肢体差异还体现在肢体接触方式、交谈时的站立距离，以及见面和分别时的举止上。在法国、俄罗斯等国家，人们见面时会和朋友贴面亲吻。在其他地区，人们更倾向于握手、弯腰鞠躬或点头致意。 Which is true according to paragraph 4? A. “Yes” and “No” gestures have the same meaning everywhere. B. People in Bulgaria express agreement through shaking their heads. C. People in southern Albania express agreement through nodding. D. The Russians usually shake hands when they meet. 判断题（高考常考） Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere. Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head 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. 有些手势似乎在世界各地含义一致。双手合十贴在头部一侧、同时闭上眼睛，这个动作表示 “睡觉”。饭后在胃部上方画圈，是表达 “我吃饱了” 的常用手势。 Detailed reading: read paragraph 5 Body language/Gesture Meaning Country/Region Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while closing your eyes sleep everywhere Moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal I’m full Fill in the table on page 39 according to paragraphs 2-5.

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 to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend. 有些肢体语言有着多种多样的用途。微笑或许是最好的例子。微笑能帮助我们渡过困境，在陌生的世界里结交朋友。微笑可以打破隔阂。我们可以用微笑来道歉、问候他人、寻求帮助或是开启对话。专家建议，对着镜子微笑能让自己变得更加快乐、坚强。当我们情绪低落或感到孤独时，没有什么比看到好友的笑脸更治愈人心的了。 Detailed reading: read paragraph 6 What different uses of smiling are mentioned in this paragraph?

How is the body language mentioned in the text interpreted in China? Body language/Gesture Interpretation in China Eye contact OK gesture Nodding one’s head Shaking one’s head shaking hands Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while closing your eyes Moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal interest, friendliness OK, agreement agreement disagreement when meeting sleeping I am full. Can you think of an example of body language that is appropriate in China but might be misunderstood in another culture? Patting someone’s head In China Patting children’s heads shows affection, care and fondness.Gentle head pats between close family or good friends are warm and harmless. Misunderstanding abroad In most Southeast Asian nations (Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia), the head is seen as the most sacred part of the body, housing one’s soul. Touching or patting anyone’s head (even a child’s) is extremely disrespectful and taboo. Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words. 肢体语言极具力量。人类先有肢体表达，后有语言；交谈中八成信息来自肢体，而非文字。 ——Deborah Bull interaction /ˌɪntərˈækʃn/ n. 交流；相互影响 词性转换 interact vi. 交流；相互影响，相互作用 Words and Expressions vary /ˈveəri/ vi. （根据情况）变化；改变 (1) vary from ... to ... 根据……的不同而变化 (2) vary in ... 在……方面不同词性转换 (3) vary with ... 随……而变化 词性转换 variety n.
