In fact, some researchers claim that less than half of a spoken messages real meaning is in the words used in the message. They say that most of a messages meaning comes from understanding how the speaker uses things like tone of voice and body language. Body language includes such things as the expression on the speakers face, gestures that speaker makes with his or her hands, and the position of the speakers body. Just as there are many different languages spoken around the world, there are many different ways for people to use body language, too. For example, gestures may imply different meanings in different cultures. Making a thumbs up sign in America means, Great! However, in Arab cultures, this gesture is extremely offensive. Although many gestures can be interpreted differently by different cultures, there are also many gestures that are almost universally interpreted in the same way. For example, by and large, a smile is understood as a sign of friendship or good will around the world. Also, using an open hand to gesture toward something is viewed as polite or friendly in most cultures. There are also some forms of body language that can be universally read with the meaning, I am interested in you or I like you. Sometimes this kind of body language is used unconsciously between two people. These signs of interest include standing or sitting with both feet flat on the ground, mirroring or using the same gestures as the other person, and turning ones body to fully face the other person. Body language experts point out one important thing. The persons culture is only one factor that can influence his or her use of body language. The time and place where the body language is being used can have a lot to do with a persons body language. If the person has had a bad day or if a meeting takes place in a crowded place, the body language a person uses may be very different from under other circumstances.1.According to the passage, more than half of a spoken messages real meaning comes from _.A. words used in the messageB. things used in the messageC. the speakers tone of voiceD. the speakers tone and body language2.The second paragraph describes _.A. an example of a gesture not used in IndiaB. different meanings of gestures in different culturesC. how gestures can change the meaning of wordsD. useful gestures in Arab cultures3.If a person starts copying your body language, what does this suggest?A.

A. only in different placesB. only at different timeC. under different circumstancesD. under few circumstances5.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Body language is an important part of communication.B. Body language is affected by culture.C. Body language can be extremely offensive.D.

Some learners are very interested in finding out or learning grammar rules and doing lots of grammar exercises. Others hate grammar and think it is the most boring part of learning a new language. Whatever opinion you have, however, you cannot escape from grammar; it is in every sentence you read or write, speak or hear. Grammar is simply the word for the rules that people follow when they use a language. We need those rules in the same way as we need the rules in a game. If there are no rules, or if everybody follows their own rules, the game would soon break down. Its the same with language; without rules we would not be able to communicate with other people. So you cannot escape from grammar, but the key question here is: What is the best way to learn grammar? You can learn the rules of a game by simply playing the game. You will certainly make mistakes; you may even get hurt. Eventually, however, you will know how to play. Of course, the rules of a language are very much more complicated than the rules of any game, but in fact this is exactly how you learned your own language. Nobody taught you the rules of your mother tongue as you were gro
