Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and
face are the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to
control. 'It is estimated that there are over 200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating
meaning in another person. For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements,
each capable of stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements
and postures. Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be
masked. Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther
than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels
out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more
relaxed with friends or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also
indicates status or liking of the other individual. More direct orientation is related to a
more positive attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly
support or reject the spoken word. If these two means of communication are
dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and
most often the nonverbal will dominate.

Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that
enables humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify
communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal
and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It
includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as
well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two
or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others
and these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are
communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced
and refined throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by
watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept
at reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their

recent reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills,
nonverbal channels of communication do' not cease to exist although become entwined
in the total communication process.
