When people communicate,they use more than words. People's body language shows important information just like speech does. When someone lies with their words,their body language often tells the truth. The next time you wonder if someone is telling you the truth,try watching their hands.
A person who is being honest will usually turn one or both of their palms(手掌) towards the other person. If a person is beginning to “open up” or share important information,you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language,this unconscious(无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly.
When people lie,they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them. Others will keep their hands in their pockets if they are lying or trying to hide information. Salespeople are sometimes trained to watch out for this specific example of body language when a person is saying that they can't afford a product or service. Sometimes professional liars try to use open-palm gestures to fool others. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose.
Research has also suggested that if people normally turn their palms to face theii* listeners,they tend to be more honest themselves. If you want people’ lionesty,talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure . the people you are talking to.
Human body language,emotion,and communication are directly connected. By showing that you kre honest,with your palms towards people,your body language pushes others to tell you the truth.

B
Adventure races are such a huge challenge Aat when you enter a race,you always think,Am Iready? Did Itrain enough?” Iremember one race in particular,my very first Eco-Challenge and only my second race ever. (The Eco-Challenge race is a multi-day event where teams of four men and women compete non-stop over a 300-mile course which includes canoeing,horse riding,scuba diving, mountaineering,mountain biking and so on.) I have never felt that unprepared and frightened in my whole life. My background was cross-country running in high school and college where a two- or three-mile race seemed long. Most of my fear was due to lack of experience and knowledge. I really had no idea what I was getting into. I had done one 24-hour race that happened to be an Eco-Challenge qualifier(资格赛) . I was like a deer cawlit in headlights the whole way. However,we won the race and were invited to compete in Australia.
In preparation for that Eco-Challenge in Australia,I tried to approach my training in a methodical(系统的) way. But my approach consisted of simply trying to run,bike and canoe as much and as hard as I could. I was also working at the same time. Actually,I was training a couple of hours a day during the week to get fit and at weekends training with the team for perhaps four hours. That was how much I had prepared.
So,we went to Australia and entered the race. We didn’ t plan a 对ra纪gy (策略) at all,but just ran as fast as possible from the'start. It was a furious (紧张的) 36 hours. We arrived at a few of the check points in first place and were among the top five. But I knew we didn’t belong there.
To cut a long story short,two of my teammates decided not to continue the race after just a day and a half. One was just too tired to carry on.Another had severe problems with his feet. The other two of us,feeling fresh still,had to drop out with the rest of our team. Four days later,watching the winners cross the finishing line was bittersweet.

26. Why did the author say l knew we didn，t belong there”？
A. Because he wanted his team to give up the race.
B. Because he knew his team could cross the finishing line.
C. Because he realized his team wasn，t prepared for the race.
D. Because he wasn，t satisfied with what his team had achieved.
