Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.

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, 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.

A. posture
