* MODULE 3　Body Language and Non-verbal Communication教材背景链接 Words are as beautiful as wild horses，and sometimes as difficult to corral. —Ted Berkman 言语就像野马一样美丽，但有时也像野马一样难以圈住。 ——T·伯克曼 名言佳句 He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words. —Elbert Hubbard 不懂得你沉默的人也不懂得你的语言。 ——艾尔伯特·哈伯德 Wise men talk because they have something to say；fools，because they have to say something. —Plato 明智的人说话是因为他们有话要谈；愚蠢的人说话是因为他们不得不说话。 ——柏拉图 类文欣赏 Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another.It is very useful because it can help you make yourself easily understood.When you are talking with others，you are not just using words，but also using expressions and gestures.For example，waving one’s hand is to say“Goodbye”． A smile and a handshake show welcome，and clapping hands means congratulations.Nodding the head means agreement，while shaking the head means disagreement. The gestures are accepted both by Chinese and foreigners as having the same meanings. Different countries have different body languages.For example，men in Russia，France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet，but men in China or Australia shake hands instead of kissing. People in Puerto Rico like touching each other，but people from English-speaking countries do not touch each other.If you touch an English person，you should say “Sorry”．People in Arab countries like standing close to one another when they are talking，but English people must keep a distance away when they are talking.In some Asian countries，you must not touch the head of another person.In Arab countries，you eat using the fingers of your right hand；the left hand is not used at all.In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet pointing at another person. When you use a foreign language，it is very important to know the meanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country.Following the customs will help you communicate with people and make your stay there much more pleasant and comfortable.
