our body movements communicate about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7 per cent So while your mouth is closed your body is just saying Arms How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements while quieter people keep them close to their bodies If someone upsets you just cross your arms to show you re unhappy Head When you want to appear confident keep your head level If you are the monitor in class you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously However to be friendly in listening or speaking you must move your head a little to one side Legs Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies If you are at interviews try to keep them still Posture 姿势 A good posture makes you feel better about yourself If you are feeling down you normally don t sit straight with your shoulders inwards This makes breathing more difficult which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable Mouth When you are thinking you often purse your lips 噘起嘴唇 You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don t wish to show However it will probably still be noticed and people will know you re not pleased 1 How many kinds of body language are mentioned in this passage A Three 第 2 页 共 20 页 B Four C Five D Six 2 you may cross your arms A When
