While-reading
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.

While Reading-Text 2
1 Smiles can be used to hide feelings like anger, fear, or worry. Can you describe a situation where you might smile when you don't mean it?
Reference answer: When I meet someone I dislike or when I fail an exam but meet others, I may smile politely to hide my embarrassment and unhappiness.
2 Apart from fake smiles, is there any other kind of body language that can sometimes be fake?
Reference answer: For example, some people nod to show agreement without really listening; some people pretend to relax with gestures while feeling nervous inside.
3 Which is a more reliable guide for understanding someone's feelings, their body language or the words they speak?
Reference answer: Generally, body language is more reliable. People may lie with words, but their unconscious body gestures can truly show their inner feelings.
