Non-verbal communication is a broad term used to describe any method of conveying information without
words. Whether intentional, based on societal cues (提示), or completely unconscious, common forms of non-
verbal communication include body language and facial cues, fashion and personal clothing, hand gestures, as
well as graphical signs and design.
It is important to note that non-verbal communication is really about a lack of words, rather than a lack of
speech sounds. That means writing would be considered verbal communication while sounds like grunts (嘟哝)
would not.
Non-verbal communication can be broadly divided into relatively universal forms and culturally dependent
forms. Many facial expressions, for example, are relatively universal, with most cultures able to identify
expressions of fear, joy, or anger. On the other hand, nonverbal cues like bowing, shaking hands, or flashing a
peace sign are culturally characteristic, and therefore have little meaning outside of cultures that understand them.Fashion is a form of non-verbal communication, and in many modern cultures is a hugely important way in
which people telegraph things about themselves.
Gestures also act as a form of non-verbal communication. A wide range of hand gestures can be found in most
cultures, and in the west there are some almost universal gestures, such as a wave goodbye, a thumbs-up to show
everything is okay, or hand outspread to signify offerings.
Body language is one of the most studied forms of non-verbal communication, and deals with how the body
rests, how it is situated in relation to other bodies, and the special distance between bodies. For example, turning
towards a person when seated and speaking to them is a non-verbal cue showing interest, while turning away
shows a lack of interest. Tipping your head slightly is a form of non-verbal communication to show curiosity or
express that you are listening closely or what they are saying, while constantly looking away would show a lack of
attention.
1. What is the purpose of the author in writing the text?
A. To explain what non-verbal communication is.
B. To introduce some universal body languages.
C. To compare non-verbal cues and verbal ones.
D. To discuss the cultural shock of communication.
2. According to the author, the meaning of ______differs across cultures.
A. smiling B. grunting
C. bowing D. screaming
3. What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. Body language is the most frequently studied by scientists.
B. Body language relies on body movements to convey messages.
C. Body language can be used to express your different meanings.
D. Body language varies very slightly from one country to another.

In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high
school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was
small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to
join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, “No, I really don’t want to do this. ” I could
understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn’t be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn’t
need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again
with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy’s name was Tommy. Then I
asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing
of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise, I found the boy dancing joyfully
with two girls under the tree. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.
In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy’s mother. She told me that Tommy was hit
by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said, “Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want
you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy
during his last months. ”
At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how
much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the
tree”.
