人教版（新课程标准）高中英语必修四Unit 4 Body language单元训练卷一
Body language is a form of communication without using words. This means that the person using body language is not fully aware that they are using it. Some psychologists say that body language actually communicates more information than using words.
Human beings seem to know about other people by nature through their body language even when they speak a different verbal language. It is likely that in human prehistory, body language was an important survival skill that helped us to display and tell the difference between threats and safety.
Body language can communicate negative emotions. When a listener crosses their arms against their chest, it can mean disagreement with the speaker. This can also be indicated when a listener leans(倾斜) away from the speaker. It can also mean disbelief.
Positive feelings are often shown through facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures. When a person looks in another person's eyes and then down at their lips, it usually means they have romantic(浪漫) feelings for the speaker. Standing or sitting straight with good gesture shows that a listener is taking the person's speech seriously.
When a person is lying, they tend to touch their face during the conversation. They may also blink(眨眼) too much or not blink at all. Body language can reveal a lot about people but it's important to remember that everyone's body language is a little different, so learning to properly "read" information through body language can be helpful in interpersonal communication.
A. Lots of body language is actually unconscious.
B. Body language includes the use of gestures and eye movements.
C. Body language can even reveal when a person's being dishonest.
D. A lack of eye contact can show a person is anxious or uncomfortable.
E. Smiling is obviously a universal sign of friendliness and appreciation.
F. People can practice body language to improve their ability to communicate.
G. Being able to "read" body language means being able to understand what a person thinks.
