Read the folio wing passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
We can communicate not only true words but also through body language. Body language
concludes our posture, facial expressions and gestures. Because body language is so important. you will
want to know what yours is saying and how to interpret other people's, too. Here are some examples of
body language and its meaning. If you posture is slumped and your head is down, this could mean that
you are sad or you lack confidence. If your posture is straight but relaxed, you are expressing
confidence and friendliness. A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest. But people sometimes smile
just to be polite. To get another clue from people's faces, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are
expressed when a person's eyes meet yours and then look away and meet yours again. A person who
doesn't look away is expressing a challenge. A person who doesn't look at you is expressing lack of
interest or shyness. Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the conversation. But repeated
movements- like tapping a pencil or tapping a foot- often mean the person is either impatient or
nervous. Stay away from someone who points at you while talking with you: that person might be angry
at you or feel superior to you.
36. Which of the options is NOT body language?

A. posture
B. words
C. gestures
D. facial expressions
