【解析】

人与人之间的交流除了使用语言，肢体语言也很重要。这篇短文由Tom和Mike的例子告诉了我们肢体语言的重要性。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文开头 “Tom and Mike work in a computer company.”可知，Tom和Mike在一家电脑公司工作。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据语境 “One day, a customer entered the office. She looked at Mike and Tom, and then she walked to Mike…. Tom was sad and walked away. “People always choose Mike. I don’t understand,” Tom said.”可知，Tom很伤心，因为顾客都喜欢和Mike交流，故选D。

【3】词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在的语境 “It’s the expression on your face. You never smile and you don’t turn your head towards them” “它是你脸上的……，你从不微笑，你也不把头转向他们”。因此expression的意思应该是“表情”。故选C。

【4】细节理解题。根据短文中 “Mrs Smith said. “Look at Mike. He’s holding his head up. He always smiles and looks friendly.”可知，Mike总是微笑，看起来很友好。故选B。

【5】推理判断题。根据文意以及短文中 ““Communicating is more than just speaking. Your body language is important too,” Mrs Smith said.”可知，这篇短文讲述了Tom和Mike的故事，告诉我们身体语言在人们的交流中也很重要。故选D。

这是一篇记叙文，短文通过讲述Tom和Mike的故事，告诉我们身体语境在人们的交流中的重要性。文章叙述清晰，内容贴近日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是阅读理解，题目设置了细节理解、词义猜测和推理判断。细节理解题是比较简单的题型，答案常可以直接在原文中找到，做题时可以根据题目所问或利用题干中的关键词，锁定文章相关的锻炼或语句作答。如第2小题，题目问的是“Tom为什么感到伤心”，我们先从文章中找到Tom感到伤心的细节，然后注意它的上文语境，根据 “One day, a customer entered the office. She looked at Mike and Tom, and then she walked to Mike”可知答案。猜测题也需要注意结合语境，如第3小题，划线单词所在的句中提到了on your face“在你脸上”，后面又提到了smile“微笑”，所以可以猜出expression是“表情”的意思。
