Unit 4 Body language
Unit 4Body language【导语】肢体语言是语言文化的重要组成部分，也许你还没有意识到，在与他人的交流中，肢体语言确实承载了很多的信息。
When we communicate with others，we do not only express ourselves through words，but also through our tones of voice，facial expressions and body language.In fact，many scholars believe that far more information is communicated non-verbally（非口头地）.Body language is just an important part of non-verbal communication.Learning another language is more than just learning its words and grammar；it also involves learning another culture.We learn much of our body language before we learn to speak from the time we are children.Body language varies from culture to culture，so it's important for us to pay attention.Sometimes，cultural differences in appropriate body language can cause discomfort or misunderstanding too.For example，there are definite cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two speakers.If you are used to keeping distance with people，you will feel very uncomfortable when people get closer to you while talking at a party.We call this the “personal comfort zone”.Another common example of misunderstanding is the use of a smile. In some Asian cultures，a smile can show embarrassment or apology.However，smiling at a teacher who is unhappy with you is probably not a good idea in most English-speaking cultures！So it's worth learning the cultural differences in body language. Understanding any cultural or regional attitudes can help you improve your communicative（交际的）skills.【词海拾贝】1.vary v.变化，使多样化2.appropriate adj.恰当的3.zone n.地带，区域，区4.embarrassment n.窘迫，难堪【问题思考】判断正（T）误（F）。

(人教版)选择性必修第一册：UNIT 4 BODY LANGUAGE(含解析)
选择性必修第一册UNIT 4 BODY LANGUAGEⅠ.阅读理解If you want to succeed in life，you need to express the proper body language，with or without having to say anything else.You will certainly notice a whole new reaction from people if you use the power of body language.Relax your shoulders，keep your hands at your sides(never inside your pockets) and breathe slowly.Have a warm，welcoming facial expression as if you look forward to communicating.Depending on the situation，you may smile when appropriate.Face the other person or your audience and keep eye contact as much as possible throughout the talk.Nodding and tilting(倾斜) your head closer can show that you are listening.Do not fold your arms，look down at the floor or put your hands in your pockets.These can show that you are uninterested.If you have any comments，you can show them in negative but respectful ways like raising your eyebrows.A lot of your body language can show how confident，interested，bored，angry or nervous you are.Keeping your head up throughout the entire conversation can show that you are very much into the conversation at hand.You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize(强调) a point.If you’re enumerating things，it’s better to use each of your fingers as you mention each item to help your audience keep track.Pacing will help you create more ground if you have a larger crowd to communicate with.It will also show confidence on your part as you think of more things to say.Be very careful when touching the other person since you are crossing the boundaries of body language through actual contact.Remember that in body language，it is your body that does the talking for you.1.According to the text，if you find a listener raising his eyebrows，he may________.A.try to show his angerB.want to give his own opinionC.not understand what you sayD.want to prove his confidence2.The underlined word “enumerating” in paragraph 6 may mean “________”.A.consideringB.judgingC.numberingD.discussing3.What’s the author’s suggestion if you have a larger crowd to communicate with?A.To walk at a slow pace.B.To shake hands with every person.C.To look down at the floor.D.To fold your arms.4.What is the most suitable title for the text?A.The Power of Body LanguageB.The Attraction of Body LanguageC.The Origin of Body LanguageD.The Understanding of Body LanguageA simple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding suggests that parents，social workers，psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.Gestures can be as informative as speech，but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice we’re using them.While the recall of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion，the memories of children are known to be particularly influenced，said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University.Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally(有意地).Previous research，for example，has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers; when asked，say “Did you drink juice at the picnic？” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available.It is not that the child isconsciously lying，but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.To avoid this problem，social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions，such as“What did you have at the picnic？”But an open-ended question paired with a gesture，briefly meaning a juice box，is treated like a detailed question.That is，children become likely to answer falsely.And it isn’t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users，such as little kids，Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases.“It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”In general，Broaders advises parents and other adults to“Try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise，you might be getting answers that don’t reflect what actually happened.”5.What do we know about gestures according to the text?A.They have a certain effect on children.B.They are rarely used by people.C.They have no function at all.D.They are often used by social workers.6.Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?A.These gestures are very attractive.B.Their memories are affected easily.C.Children are easy to tell lies.D.These gestures are used frequently.7.What does the underlined word “impart” in paragraph 6 mean?A.Separate.B.Tell apart.C.Confuse.D.Pass on.8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Gestures—A Useful Way of EducationB.Gestures Can Mislead ChildrenC.Gestures Mean Adult’s DirectionsD.Gestures Affect Children LittleⅡ.完形填空Do you listen？Do you really listen？Is there more to listening than just hearing? Listening is，by far，one of the most important aspects of communication.So often，you pay attention to your way of speaking，your __1__，your dialect，but neglect your ability to listen.It is my __2__ that people scream out or change the intended purposes of much of what they hear.Too often，we consider listening the __3__ part of conversation，although it requires our focus，purpose，and active participation.Listening means to give ear to，to pay attention to，to __4__，to witness，to hear with thoughtful __5__，or to understand.The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and to be understood.The only way to understand is to __6__.Learn to be an active listener.Give off positive body language.__7__ a willingness to socialize.Ask the right questions.Boost your __8__ so that you can understand more and achieve effective listening.Listening means we should respond，that we should be touched，that what we hear has a(n)__9__ on us.I believe that history __10__ itself only because no one listens the first time.You were given two ears，but only one mouth，which is a gentle hint that we should listen more，because God knew that listening was twice as __11__ as talking.Listening is the key building block in effective communications.Good listening skills are crucial，as listening is the fundamental __12__ of all information. Isn’t now the time to give the gift of listening to those about you？Give them your __13__ e your God given __14__ to become a better listener.For me，I’m going to put into __15__ what I believe in my heart and become a better listener.1.A.sounds B.wordsC.gesturesD.movements2.A.conception B.planC.purposeD.requirement3.A.active B.passiveC.basiceless4.A.argue B.quarrelC.discussD.obey5.A.advice B.attentionC.loveD.help6.A.ask B.learnC.tryD.listen7.A.Send B.PresentC.PredictD.Design8.A.courage B.confidenceC.energyD.knowledge9.A.impact B.connectionC.emotionD.difference10.A.makes B.failsC.repeatsD.destroys11.A.interesting B.hardC.muchD.long12.A.resource B.materialC.sourceD.element13.A.considerate B.wideC.extraD.entirermation B.talentsC.messagesD.ideas15.A.effect B.positionC.practiceD.serviceⅢ.语法填空(2024·辽宁省教研联盟高三一模)Elderly people like to use technology to entertain themselves and keep in touch withfriends.They don’t want to rely on anyone.Instead，they just hope to remain 1.____________ (dependent).Plenty of time 2.____________ (spend) in finding out new things or writing down their experiences every day.Many social media sites 3.____________ (develop) for the younger generation are now being enjoyed by the elderly，too.“Our granddaughter helped me set up 4.____________ social media profile，” one explained.“I soon found lots of people to chat 5.____________ and some invited me to join their online puzzle groups.6.____________ keeps my brain active to communicate with people online.” And for elderly people who may be unable to leave their homes without 7.____________ (assist)，communication with the outside world is essential，to prevent loneliness and to allow them to call for help in many 8.____________ (emergency).In Singapore，the elderly are even turning to robots to keep them in shape 9.____________ (physical).These robots not only lead daily workouts，10.____________ can provide senior citizens with feedback on their performance，as well as sending photos via social media.选择性必修第一册UNIT 4Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。
