I. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
COMMUNICATING WITHOUT WORDS
A. communication involves words, but it also involves many other things. Very often, we communicate
a great deal without ever opening our mouths. Because we speak with our eyes, gestures, and expressions, our
body language is an extremely important part of communication. In fact, according to some researchers, as
much as sixty percent of communication is nonverbal.
B. Nonverbal communication is not the same everywhere, however. Although we all use it, we may use
body language in different ways. This is because each culture has its own “unwritten rules” about appropriate
gestures, eye contact, and so on. Thus, learning language must involve the body language of that culture.
Otherwise, you’re learning less than half of the language.

C. Our culture determines at least some of our body language. As a result, communication between
people from different countries may be complicated if neither is aware of the body language of the other. For
example, a South American prefers more eye contact and speaks more quickly than a North American. He or
she also uses gustures more frequently. In the Middle East, people stand nearer to each other than North
Americans are accustomed to. In addition, they often touch each other during a conversation, but North
Americans do not.
D. Difference like these can create problems in communication. Sometimes, although they may not
understand why, people from different cultures feel uncomfortable during conversations. Such feelings may
even cause distrust or disapproval. If this happens to you, you should pay attention to body language – both
yours and the person you’re with. Words may not be the problem. The prolem may not be the body the body
language.

A.our eyes B. gestures C. expressions D. All are correct

A. may be used in a more complicated way

BODY LANGUAGE – WHAT DOES IT SAY?
More than half of (46) we communicate is communicated not through words but through
body language. This includes our posture, facial espressions, and gestures. (47) body language is so
important, you’ll want to know what yours is saying and (48) to interpret other people’s, too. Here
are some examples of body language and (49) meaning. (Note: These meaning are for North
America. Interpretations may differ a bit in other cultures.)
