考点规范练21(必修4 Module 3) .阅读理解 Even if you are saying and doing the right things at your job and in your personal life,you could be making a bad impression on everyone with what you don’t say.That’s because much of our reactions to others are based on body language.If your body language is communicating a negative message,that’s the message you could be sending,regardless of what actual words come out of your mouth. What are negative messages sent via body language?Things like having arms folded across your chest can show hostility(敌意).Lack of eye contact can indicate shiftiness(奸诈的).An unsmiling face could communicate a variety of things,like anger,disappointment,or sadness,depending upon what other facial expressions are included. Want to know what body language communicates?Watch a TV show or a movie without the sound off,and see how much you can figure out of the plot,or at least you can get a sense of what is going on. However,many of the clues that indicate negativity could also be the result of nervousness or other issues.For example,somebody who doesn’t make eye contact could simply be nervous.The same goes with a not-so-warm handshake.Or,someone folding his arms could simply be more comfortable with the arms that way,not realizing what the arms’ position sends.Someone who doesn’t smile could be self-conscious about her teeth.At any rate,the person who sends off bad body language may not even realize that they’re doing it. |
