(7)________. In America, for example. women stand with their thighs together.Many walk with their pelvis (骨盆) tipped slightly forward and their upper arms close to their body. When they sit , they cross their legs at the knee or cross their ankles. American men hold their arms away from their body , often swinging them as they walk. They stand with their legs apart. When they sit, they put their feet on the floor with legs apart and , in some parts of the country, they cross their legs by putting one ankle on the other knee.
Leg behavior. indicates sex , status , and personality. It also indicates whether or not one is at ease or is showing respect or disrespect for the other person. Young Latin American males avoid crossing their legs. In their world of machismo (男子气概), the preferred position for young males when with one another .is to sit on the base of the spine with their leg muscles relaxed and their feet wide apart. Their respect position is like our military equivalent: spine straight , heels and ankles together-almost identical to that displayed by properly brought up young women in New England in the early part of this century.
The way we walk , similarly , indicates status , respect , mood , and ethnic or cultural affiliation. To white Americans , some French middle-class males walk in a way that is both humorous and suspect. There is a bounce and looseness to the French walk , as though the parts of the body were somehow unrelated. (8)________.

All of us communicate with one another non-verbally, as well as with words. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else's eyes and look away, shift positions in a chair. These actions we assume are random and incidental. But researchers have discovered in recent years that there is a system to them almost as consistent and comprehensive as language. Every culture has its own body language, and children absorb its difference along with spoken language. A Frenchman talks and moves in French. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, with a future-tense verb, Americans often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. An expert can sometimes pick out a native of Wisconsin just by the way he uses his eyebrows during conversation. Your sex, moral background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often it's a case of "not what he said but the way he said it." Psychologist Albert Mehrabian has come up with this formula: total impact of a message = 7% verbal + 38% gestural + 55% facial. Experts in kinesics - the study of communication through body movement - are not prepared to spell out a vocabulary or gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. Another example: When a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man's eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect and affection; it can be a challenge to the professor's authority; or it can be something else entirely. The experts look for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements inNO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) |

Decide what types of evidence are used in the following argumentative paragraphs. A, fact B. statistics C. examples D. authority E. personal experience For example: Americans are downing close to 200 pounds of meat, poultry, and fish per capita per year, an increase of 50 pounds per person from 50 years ago. We each consume something like 110 grams of protein a day, about twice the federal government’s recommended allowance; of that, about 75 grams come from animal protein. It’s likely that most of us would do just fine on around 30 grams of protein a day, virtually all of it from plant sources. __B____ 1. The flow of spam(垃圾邮件) is often seasonal.

Even sure-footed natives on a dark night could misjudge the lay of land,stumbling into a ditch or off a precipice.
