Contrary to popular belief,looking at someone’s face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are shouting in celebration or screaming in frustration,researchers claimed.While people may believe they have the ability to read each other’s faces,body language is the real clue that shows whether the strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.
In one study,groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.
In some cases the volunteers were able to see the player’s full body,but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.
Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when shown the full picture or just the body,but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone.
Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced that they had made their judgment based on the players’ facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.
The researchers carried out a second study where volunteers were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy,pleasure,victory,pain and defeat.
Using photo editing software,the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotions and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.
The resulting poses(姿势) were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions,which means that people base their understanding of strong emotions on the body instead of the face.
Dr Aviezer,who led the study,said,“These results show that when emotions become extremely intense,the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear.The results may help researchers understand how the body interacts during emotional situations.”

Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
According to some researchers at the Harvard Business School,body language should be read through a scientific and unemotional eye.Whether in business or romance,some people use body language to convey(传达) false messages and to take in others. 1 It can be very useful to learn a few tips about how to read body language lies.
Keep a close watch on the eyes. 2 At the same time,pathological(不理智的) liars and those practiced in the art of lying may hold your eyes for longer than a few seconds to make you feel uncomfortable and unable to rely on your instincts(本能).
Watch the hands of the person who speaks.While keeping the hands held behind the back may be thought of as a power pose,it is more likely to mean the person is hiding something. 3 By contrast,liars usually will keep their palms hidden in the pockets or turned over.
Consider how the person touches his face.Taekwando instructors at TKD tutor report that people will often cover their mouths in an effort to “cover up” their lies. 4
Be on guard around people who touch their faces in any form.Rubbing the nose often indicates the person is a skilled liar and is merely moving his hand from his mouth on purpose.A person who rubs his eyes often is trying to avoid eye contact while lying.
5 Standing absently,shrugging(耸肩) and other gestures that are abnormal for the person can also be signs of a liar.
A.Truthful people use open palms.
B.Don’t interrupt them when they are speaking.
C.They may start a fake cough to cover the signal.
D.Pay attention to nervous gestures that could give away a liar.
E.It is very difficult for a liar to look at you straight in the eyes.
F.A person’s body language will very often suggest that a person is lying.
G.They may feel uncomfortable with their clothing by straightening their pants’ leg.

Ⅰ.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。最新的研究表明:通过观察别人的表情,人们并不能完全读懂他们的情绪,但如果通过肢体语言,人们却能更好地了解他人的情绪。
1.D [推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,现在,大多数人倾向于认为一个人的情绪可以仅通过他的面部表情来解读。故选D。]
2.C [细节理解题。根据第三段内容和第五段中的“the two other groups”可知,在第一项研究中,向参与者展示了三类照片:全身照、仅显示面部和仅显示肢体的照片。故选C。]
3.A [词义猜测题。根据第四段内容并结合画线词前面的“but their guesses”的转折含义可知,仅看面部照片的参与者的猜测并不够准确。故选A。]
4.B [主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段可知,本文主要介绍通过肢体语言而非面部表情,人们能更好地了解他人的情绪。故选B。]
Ⅱ.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些识别肢体语言谎言的技巧。
1.F [根据上文可知,人们会利用肢体语言传达错误信息或欺骗他人。由此可推知,设空处应承上启下,肢体语言能够显示出一个人在说谎,所以我们可以通过一些技巧来识别谎言,故选F。]
2.E [根据本段主题句“Keep a close watch on the eyes.”可知,本段主要是关于眼神直视的内容,故选E。]
3.A [根据下文“By contrast,liars usually will keep their palms hidden in the pockets or turned over.”可知,此处是在对比说谎者和诚实的人的手的姿态,故选A。]
4.C [根据上文“people will often cover their mouths in an effort to ‘cover up’ their lies”可推断,空处应该也是关于借助嘴部动作掩盖谎言的,而C选项中的cover the signal和“cover up” their lies相呼应,故选C。]
5.D [设空处为本段的主题句,应为祈使句并引出下文。下文讲了说谎者的姿势,而D选项中的nervous gestures正好概括下文的这些表现,故选D。]人与社会:肢体语言

There are many things helping us identify these strangers or outsiders—the clothes they wear and the way they speak.Now,experts know that their body language is also an indicator.In our ancestors’ times,knowing 10. someone is a friend or foe(敌人) could mean the difference between total annihilation(灭绝) of their family or the survival of their genes.

A
People who don’t feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others.However,anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their body language conveys a positive message.Practice these gestures and movements to project an airport confidence.
Lean Forward
When you are in a conversation,leaning forward indicates interest and attention,while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested.Research suggests that nonverbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest.
Slow Your Movements
Fast movements make you appear more anxious.Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference;slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time.
The key,however,is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly.Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched(耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident.
Keep Your Chin up
Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking?Instead,keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest and confidence.It might feel unnatural initially,but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose.
Give a Firm Handshake
A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence,so offer a firm hand when meeting others.How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you.
Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less.Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety.
1.Which way of walking conveys confidence
A.Walking fast with head straight up.
B.Moving fast with a leaning posture.
C.Walking slowly with proper eye contact.
D.Moving slowly with maintained distance.
2.Which body language requires considering the length of time
A.Lean Forward.
B.Slow Your Movements.
C.Keep Your Chin up.
D.Give a Firm Handshake.
3.Who is the text intended for
A.Those who have a passion for body language.
B.Those who run projects about body language.
C.Those who lack confidence in communication.
D.Those who desire to boost their language skills.
读写积累 1.boost vt.使增长;使兴旺 n.增长;提高;激励 2.project 熟义:n.项目;工程;计划;方案;(大、中学学生的)专题研究 生义:v.计划;预计;投射;展现(本文为此义) 3.slow down慢点;(使)放慢,减速;(使)身心松弛,放松 4.take your time从容不迫;慢慢来 5.Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety. 句式结构:现在分词短语作后置定语。 句子翻译:握手时间超过三秒会减少互动的乐趣,增加焦虑。
B
A lot of people ask this question:“Why is body language so important?” Studies have shown that in the process of communication,non-verbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual text.This means that “how to say” is more important than “what to say”.Of course,this does not mean that you don’t need to do preparation for your interviews,nor does it mean that you can take any short cuts.On the contrary,this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace,body language is much more important than you think.Without proper body language,you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can’t integrate with the external environment,not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
“People can often make inferences from actions,and the results of these inferences directly affect lives:for example,who will be employed and who will be promoted,” Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show.She also said that “our body language will also affect our perception(感知,看法) of ourselves.When you try to make more authoritative(权威的) actions,your brain will inadvertently(不经意地)receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative,so that you have more confidence in yourself”.
Therefore,before interviews or important meetings,try not to lean on any object or have a hunched back.Instead,you should try to keep your body relaxed.You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture(姿势) of course,you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews,careers,and everyday life.Paying attention to body language could make strong impacts on your behavior,which could help you achieve better results.So,every time you are nervous or feel that you can’t do it,stretch your body,smile,and tell yourself, “Fake it till you become it!”
4.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A. What we say in a conversation is not so important.
B.Practicing body language is a short cut to success.
C.We should attach great importance to body language.
D.Body language carries 93% of conversation messages.
5.According to Amy Cuddy,why is body language important for us
A. It decides whether we are promoted.
B.It influences people’s impression of us.

D.It helps people understand who we are.
6.What does the underlined word “hunched” possibly mean
A.Broken down. B.Tied behind.
C.Bent forward. D.Straightened up.
7.Who might be the intended readers of the passage
A.New arrivals in the workplace.

When learning a foreign language,most people fall back on traditional methods:reading,writing,listening and repeating.But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture with your arms while studying,you can remember the vocabulary better,even months later.
As Mathias describes,they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words over four days.While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary,they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word.When the word was repeated,the subjects performed the gesture themselves.Five months later,they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German.Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex—the part of the brain that is responsible for our body movements.The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures.The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.
Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days,paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures.After two months,the two methods were still tied.But after six months,the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures,while the children were helped equally by both.
But it is not only the motor component itself that promotes learning.The meaning conveyed by the gesture also figures in.“I think we underuse gesture in our classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says.“Good teachers and good listeners use it,but not always in a systematic way.Others don’t necessarily bring it into the class—and it could be used more often and more effectively.”
1.What is the finding of Brian Mathias’ research
A. Translation helps vocabulary building.
B.Motor cortex interprets body language.
C.Gestures facilitate vocabulary learning.
D.Memory improves with regular practice.
2.What does Leipzig’s research tell us about language learning
A. Adults and children are equally efficient learners.
B.Pictures have little influence on language learning.
C.Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.
D.Benefits of gestures are more evident in adults in the long run.
3.What do the underlined words “figures in” in the last paragraph mean
A.Makes a deal. B.Plays a part.
C.Takes a chance. D.Gives a warning.
4.What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom
A. Make better use of gestures.
B.Teach listening in a systematic way.
C.Abandon traditional teaching methods.
D.Do some academic researches on teaching.

Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Body language,sometimes called “non-verbal communication”,is more important than you might think.Suitable body language can help you build trust with others.So use the following magic body language to build trust with others.
Put your phone down.
Keeping eye contact when someone is talking will help build trust because it shows interest,but that’s hard to do if you keep staring at your phone. 1 It says,“I don’t want to look at emails—you’re important.” Building human ties makes it easier to trust people and know more about them.
2
You might only be crossing your arms and legs because you’re cold,but that position closes you off.You’re unknowingly communicating something negative because you’ve put your body in a way that is a defense mechanism(机制).It blocks any basis for building trust.Make sure your body looks open to hear others’ thoughts.
Smile and nod.
3 That indicates you’re interested in what the person is saying.Just don’t be too cheesy (虚伪的)—overdoing the positive reaction will make you seem less sincere.
Don’t sit behind a desk.
Sitting behind a desk creates another block. 4 For example,sitting at a table with students can encourage them to be more active during class if you want them to tell you if there’s something they don’t understand.Try not to have a big barrier between you.
Limit your note taking.
Sometimes notes are necessary when you’re talking to a co-worker. 5 If you’re constantly writing down what the other person says,that person could start feeling “Why are they writing that down?” So don’t let it get in the way of your eye contact if you have to.
A.Listen with your eyes.
B.Uncross your arms and legs.
C.Don’t communicate something negative.
D.Smiling and nodding can be signs of greetings to others.
E.But taking notes too often makes the other person feel uncomfortable.
F.Nodding and smiling while someone is talking shows you’re listening.
G.It could make the person you’re talking to put his or her own walls up.
读写积累 1.sincere adj.真诚的,诚挚的 2.barrier n.屏障;障碍;壁垒;关口 3.limit n.限制;界限;范围 v.限制;限定 4.constantly adv.不断地,时常地;一直 5.write down写下;记下 6.You’re unknowingly communicating something negative because you’ve put your body in a way that is a defense mechanism(机制). 句式结构:a way作先行词后跟that引导的定语从句。 句子翻译:你在不知不觉中传达了一些消极的东西,因为你已经把你的身体置于一种防御机制中。

A
As a young boy,I knew what people said was not always what they meant or were feeling.And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded suitably to their needs.At the age of eleven,I sold sponge rubber(海绵橡胶) door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me.When I knocked on a door,if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms,I knew it was safe to continue with my show because they weren’t angry or threatening although they may have a cold attitude.If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand,I knew it was time to leave.
As a teenager,I became a pots and pans(锅碗瓢盆) salesperson,and my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house.Selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them close and to know whether they would buy or not,simply by watching their body language.
I joined the life insurance business at the age of twenty.And I went on to break several sales records for my company,becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars’ worth of business in my first year.I was lucky that the skills I’d learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans could be used in this new area,and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.

Modern research on body language—often called nonverbal behavior—began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality of facial expressions of emotion.That work was inspired in part by Charles Darwin’s study The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals(1872).But it had received little attention for around a century,according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto.
Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions and how babies copy facial and hand gestures.And scientists have also realized the complexity(复杂性) of body language.
Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret or understand.But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical areas.
“I help people influence and persuade others around,how trustworthy and credible their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden.He is the author of Winning Body Language,a guide for readers including business people and famous people.He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up,as well as those gestures.
Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions.Joe Navarro is the author of What Every Body Is Saying.It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior.“It’s easy to spot a speaker’s lip movements when he faces a question he doesn’t like,” Joe said.
While the work of these experts attracts large audiences,many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable.“Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” David Matsumoto said.So do some body movements.“But people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said.Your raised eyebrow(眉毛) could express doubt—but it might also signal discomfort or surprise.“The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures,” he said.
