rank open Universal body languages A smile shows happiness and puts people at ease. If someone “loses face” they may smile to hide it.

A smile can hide other feelings, such as anger, fear or worry. Step V. Post-reading Use what you have read in the passage and answer the following questions. 1. How can we know others’ feelings, even if they do not speak to us?

2. Why should we be careful with our body language?

3. Why is it important to watch as well as listen to others?

4. What are some jobs in which using body language is extremely important?

Keys: We can watch the expressions on people’s faces; we can see whether they face us or look away; we can observe how they hold their arms and hands; we can see whether they are close to or far away from others. Are they smiling, frowning, shrugging, holding their arms in front of them or touching other people? We should be careful of our own body language, as we must be sure not to be impolite in other cultures, and we need to communicate without being misunderstood. We need to watch other people because they may be communicating one idea in

words and a different one in body language. Body language is very important in any job where clear communication with others is necessary. For example, teachers and medical care people should have good clear body language; anyone who is interviewing people for jobs (and the people being interviewed) should communicate clearly; anyone giving orders or directions needs good body language; people working in diplomatic jobs and in some government jobs. Step VI. Language points 1. It is possible to “read” others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication.

我们可以了解别人, 即使有时他们并不想要我们了解他们没说出来的语言。

even if是连词词组, 用来引导让步状语从句, 意为

“尽管; 即使”。

注意: 若主句与从句皆表示将来情况, even if从句可用一般现在时代替将来时。

e.g. We have decided to visit the Museum even if it rains tomorrow.

我们决定明天参观博物馆, 即使天下雨。

Even if I leave now, it’ll be too late.

即使我现在离开, 我也会迟到的。

She understood what I was talking about, even though it was the first time we had spoken together.

即使那是我们第一次谈话，她还是明白了我在谈什么。

辨析:

even if 与even though even if 从句所说的不肯定,

而

even

though 从句所说的则是事实。

e.g. He will not let out the secret even if he knows it.

即使他知道这个秘密, 他也不肯说出来。(他对秘密知道与否不一定) He will not let out the secret even though he knows it.

他虽然知道这个秘密, 却不肯说出来。(他知道这个秘密) 2. Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cases, make me appear to beuninterested.

如果把眼光从某人身上移开, 或者打了个哈欠, 这就会让人知道我不感兴趣。

look away from = not look at …

不看, 不注视

e.g. Don’t look away from

me when I’m speaking to you.

当我和你说话时看着我, 不要看别处。
