Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Body Language: The Unspoken Dialogue is a fascinating book, exploring the silent language we all speak — the gestures, postures and expressions represented in over two hundred artworks from galleries worldwide.This work is designed to make human behavior accessible to everyday readers through artistic depictions of body language across cultures.In these artistic representations of nonverbal communication, we recognize universal human experiences that cross cultural and historical boundaries.
In this “visual guide to body language”, artworks are carefully selected and arranged to highlight connections across different periods and societies.We observe scenes of people interacting in various social situations — from formal handshakes in business settings to intimate embraces between loved ones.Individuals are portrayed in numerous positions—leaning forward in interest, crossing arms in defense, or nodding in agreement.Though these artworks might have been created centuries apart, they capture moments of human interaction that remain familiar to us all.
Body language in artworks often serves to reveal the inner world of the subjects — their confidence, anxiety, or social status.Before the scientific study of nonverbal communication, artists intuitively (凭直觉地) understood and captured these subtle signals in their works.In contemporary art, as our understanding of body language has deepened, artists have used gestures and postures more purposefully as primary elements in their creations — making body language itself the subject matter of their works.
Some might assume that in our digital age of video calls and virtual meetings, the study of physical body language has become less relevant.From a modern perspective, while technology has changed how we communicate, nonverbal communication remains as significant as any emoji or digital reaction.To fully understand human interaction, we must observe the physical dimension: the eye contacts, the postures, and the gestures employed during conversation.And compared to our increasingly digital communications where expressions can be hidden, inperson interaction still provides the richest, most immediate understanding of unspoken feelings.

Nonverbal communication is anything that is not said.For example, if a man is smiling, you know he is probably happy.If a woman is biting her lip, looking down or around quickly to avoid eye contact, she may be nervous or embarrassed.In some ways, nonverbal communication depends on a person's background and culture.For example, in some cultures, pointing with a finger means that you are showing something.In other cultures, that is not good.Instead, people show with their hands.
People of different genders (性别) are like people from different cultures.Scientists know that when men and women use different body languages.They also know that men and women use different ways to stand close to the person they are talking to.This may help show that the woman is interested in the person.They don't make large movements with their hands when they speak.However, men usually do.This could be because many men prefer to have more space when they talk.Sometimes, doing the same thing that the person you are speaking with is doing can help.It can show the person that you are interested in what he or she says.This is called mirroring.For example, if the woman you are speaking with is smiling, you may want to smile, too.If the man you are talking to has his arms crossed, you might also want to try crossing arms.
If you understand what people are saying with their bodies, it can help you know how they feel or what they really mean.Understanding nonverbal communication can also help you understand how to get your own feelings and ideas across to the person you are talking to.
