Passage 2

Did you know that about 55% of communication is not using languages, so in fact, our bodies are actually saying more than our words. I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.

Britain is considered as a"non-touch"country, so personal space is very important. In a formal (正式的)situation, they would often greet each other by shaking hands. Informally, British friends would greet with a hug but hardly ever would greet with a kiss on the cheek(面頰)!

But in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, people usually greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other. In other words, little personal space is left between people when communicating. Sometimes you may find yourself not knowing what hand signs to use when expressing (表達(dá)) yourself. However, what you do know for sure is that using body language would make yourself get more chances to be loved by Italians and fully immerse yourself in their culture. To communicate very well, here are some body language tips in Italy.

※ Different signs: Try to use your head, arms and hands more.

※ Facial expressions: Always smile at people! Smiling is the most powerful way to show friendliness.

※ Eye contact(交流): Eyes are the windows to the heart.

※ Personal space: Keeping the distance is considered as being unfriendly.

1.In a formal situation, the British people usually greet each other with_________.

A.a handshake B.a polite bow C.a kiss on the cheek D.a warm hug

2.The writer uses Britain and Italy as examples to show________

A.people all over the world greet in the same way

B.Italians are more friendly than the British people

3.The underlined part"fully immerse yourself" probably means “________”.

A.feel amazed B.enter deeply

C.satisfy yourself D.learn by yourself

A.What body language means B.When in Rome, do as Romans do
