A boy and a girl glance about the crowded room. Their eyes meet. Embarrassed, they look away.The boy acts cool even though his heart is beating wildly. The girl, obviously nervous, is afraid that the boy will see her looking at him. A few seconds passes. He looks at her again. Her face becomes red. They continue their cat-and-mouse game for a long time. Will they ever talk to each other?
The fact is that they have already communicated a lot, without ever saying anything. Nonverbal elements form a major part of any communication. People pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When we study a foreign culture, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues (暗示).
Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate "OK' with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means "money" to the Japanese and "zero" to the French. For that reason,people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.
Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about--space.When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的 ) to apologize. But the size of a person's "comfort zone" varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic (种族的) origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.
Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating.How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That's why it's possible to "read someone like a book".
64. The underlined word "nonverbal" in Paragraph 2 means" _____ ".
A. not using eyes B. not using gestures
C. not using words D. not using hands
65. In America, sticking out one's tongue means "_______" ,
A. OK B. zero C. money D. disrespect
66. It can be inferred from the passage that_______ .
A. it's hard for boys to speak to girls
B. the Maoris of New Zealand are funny
C. the same gesture may have different meanings in different culture
D. if you want to learn more gestures you should read more books
67. The passage mainly tells us that
A. nonverbal elements play an important part in communication
Bi nonverbal communication conveys less information
C. reading a man like a book has been proved to be true
D. space is a necessary part of nonverbal communication
