Soundless Communication

Can you communicate with others when you live in a foreign country with no or little knowledge of its language?

Of course, it is possible. You can convey your moods and intentions to one another without words, because all human

beings

share

a

large

number

of

common

visual

signals.

These

signals

are

as

effective

as

words

are

during

communication. However, in daily life when people talk with others in their native language, they are not aware that

they are using these signals to express their thoughts at the same time. These signals are called body language.

Paying

a

little

attention

to

one’s

gestures

when

that

person

is

talking,

we

can

understand

more

than

by

only

hearing

one’s

words. Wordless communication acts to qualify the words.

The gestures of the head play a key role in body language. The vertical head movements, called nods, signify their

agreement. It is very interesting that this gesture has been used by people born deaf and blind. No doubt, it strongly

suggests that affirmative nodding may be an inborn action for the human species

—

a pattern of body language designed

by our genes.

The movements of eyes and eyebrows are as important as head movements in body Language, but there are many

differences among nations

in using this pattern of body language. Americans are very subtle about eye

movements.

During

their

conversation,

eye

movements

may

have

several

meanings.

For

instance,

people

avoid

looking

into

another’s eyes

for more than a few seconds because it may be thought of as a sign of disrespect. In England, however,

staring at the speaker attentively may be considered as nothing more than a sign of interest. English people also like to

blink their eyes occasionally during the conversation as a signal of agreement.

Besides the gestures of the head or the movements of the eyes and eyebrows, the action of arms, hands and legs

also are a large part of body language.

Extending one’s

arm and shaking hands with others is a greeting in both formal

and informal cases. This part of body language might be traced back to primitive tribes. Early human beings established

a

major

division

of

labor,

with

the

male

hunter

leaving the

group

for

some

time,

then

returning

home

with

the kill.

Before he left and after he came back body contact was made

；

This consisted of a total embrace with much hugging,

patting,

squeezing,

and

even

weeping.

After

many

thousands

of

years,

this

kind

of

greeting

has

developed

into

the

present customs, such as handshaking

—

one of the important elements in the modern body language dictionary.

Like handshaking, there are still many other forms of body language presented by hands.

Raising one’s

hand and

making a circle with his thumb and forefinger signals that something is OK. Clasped hands raised above the head, a

traditional

picture

adopted

by

sportsmen

after

winning

a

fight,

is

a

display

of

triumph

that

grows

out

of

a

surge

of

feeling following a victory.

Waving one’s hands permits a speaker to make his words more powerful and vigorous.

In addition to hand gestures, there are times when a person says something with his legs as well as with his head

and eyes

. The leg gestures often reflect one’s attitude

towards something or someone that person is with. For example,

if you pay a little attention, you will notice that when one is impatient listening to someone, his foot might beat the

floor constantly and restlessly, as if it had its own life. In such a case, although he says not a word, in fact his body

gesture

reveals

nearly

everything.

The

same

thing

will

happen

when

a

person

sits

with

someone

whom

that

person

dislikes. In this situation not only will his legs

move from side to side, but also he will change the way his legs are

crossed frequently.

These postures reflect one’s uncomfortable

feeling.

According to the above facts, body language has offered a more reliable way to understand

one’s mind by

means

of gestures. It is just like

Sigmund Freud once wrote: “

No mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he talks with

his

fingertips

.”

Body

language

is

a

communication

tool.

Like

English,

French,

Spanish,

and

other

languages

in

the

world, though body language is soundless and wordless, once you understand it, you will feel the world is bigger than

you realized.

. Reading Comprehension (80

＇

)

Directions:

There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each of them there are

four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter.

Passage 1

College is a place to explore many possibilities

；

you really can

’

t do it all unless you manage your time wisely.

Here are some tips I have found very helpful for managing my time and maximizing my study efforts:

1. Determine your goals. What do you want to get out of a college education? Academic (

学术的

) knowledge?

Leadership experience within a club? Decide what is most important to you. Then devote proportionate (

成比例的

)

amounts of time to those efforts.

2. Plan ahead. You may think you can keep everything in your head, but as the activities on your schedule start

piling up, making a schedule can really help organize even little tasks.

3. Study at strategic (

关键的

) times. Don

’

t wait until you

’

re falling asleep to study. Study first. Save those e-mails

to check later, because tasks that don’t require much energy and

attention can still be done when you’re ti

red.

4. Motivate (

激励

) yourself! You know that TV show you

’

ve been dying to see, or that game

of chess you’ve been

waiting all week to challenge your friend to. These and many other special activities can be used for motivation.

Promise yourself that you’ll

finish your biology assignment

before you go off and “play”. That way, you’ll force

yourself to work efficiently. (Don’t rush

through the assignment, though.)

5. Take a nap. Sometimes even a 20-minute nap in the afternoon will give you the extra energy you need to get

through the day.
