A

Have you ever been in the situation when you really didn’t believe what someone was saying? Perhaps they were 13、

saying “yes” but their heads were shaking “no”. The difference between the words people say and our understanding of what they are saying comes from body language. By knowing more signs of body language, you can more easily understand other people, and more effectively communicate with them. Movements, gestures, and facial expressions all say that something is going on. What’s more, the way we talk, walk, sit and stand all give messages to people. As you

watch others, confident people will stand still with shoulders back, give slow and clear speech and always give eye contact. Otherwise, the person seems to have little confidence. If a person speaks to you with his body turning away from you, arms crossed or very small facial expressions, this person is giving his “dead ears”. He usually doesn’t listen to you. And it’s crucial to know when people are lying. Some of the typical signs that a person is lying include: A person gives little or no eye contact, or there may be fast eye movements. Hand or fingers are in front of his or her mouth when speaking. His skin changes in color, red in face or neck area. Voice changes, etc. However, one size does not fit all. When you watch others, you need to try to guess what they are saying or guess what is going on. but it is also important to recognize that body language may vary between individuals, and between different cultures and nationalities. Understand the signs that you are reading, and have a conversation more easily with people around you. 1．The following are all signs of body language except____________. A．what we talk about B．facial expressions C．movements and gesture D．how we talk and walk

2．The sign of speaking with arms crossed shows that a person___________. A．is lying B．is giving “dead ears”

C．has little confidence D．has a lot of gestures

3．When someone is lying, he or she will probably______________. A．turn the body away B．move hands fast

C．give little eye contact D．stand still with shoulders back 4．What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Body language helps you know if others are lying. B．Body language is different in different countries. C．Body language is sometimes irresponsible. D．Body language helps communicate.

19、My Thoughts about Happiness

Power, wealth, and fame can't always make people happy. For example, the rich people were unhappy, because they are afraid of losing money, while the poor people was truly happy because he was satisfied with what he could have.

What can always make me happyHappiness is always in my heart and is easy to find if I pay more attention to what I have. For instance, enjoying the beautiful sunshine after a cloudy day, getting a glass of water from mother when I am studying, getting help from my friends when I am in trouble and so on. These are the moments when I am happy. All in all, don't think about what you can't have. Contentment is the key to happiness.
