Practice them, and use them whenever you want to impress a person or an audience! The hand steeple，where the fingers are making a little “roof top”, is showing a lot of confidence. This hand gesture is very popular with lawyers, politicians and priests (it does resemble praying，don’t you think?) and while it shows great confidence，you should not use it when you’re trying to gain someone’s trust. . . the hand steeple can make you look arrogant(傲慢的). It does show strength when negotiating. The reverse hand steeple is similar to the hand steeple, but this gesture is used more often during listening，while the hand steeple is used more often during talking. And since women are better listeners than men，the reverse hand steeple is used more often by women. People in leadership positions often hold their hands behind their back. It’s a pose that shows power, and confidence, as it exposes the vulnerable(脆弱的; 易受伤害的)parts of the body. It also improves your posture and opens up the airways，so you gain more energy and feel more confident as you do this. Some people don’t hold their hands but have one hand hold the wrist or the arm. This is a sign of frustration. The higher up the hand is, the more frustrated. It’s a way to “get a grip” on yourself. Another show of confidence and feeling superior is by showing the thumbs. Any position where the thumbs are visible will do the trick(奏效; 起作用). Holding your jacket with your thumbs up, or having them stuck out of your back pockets is the similar hand gesture that will do the trick. When will you most probably use the hand steeple? A. When you are praying. B. When you are listening to a speech. C. When you are asking for advice. D. When you are talking with a potential business partner. 2. Who mostly use the reverse hand steeple? A. Lawyers. B
