Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.
Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.
Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.
Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.

A．Nonverbal communication and first impression B．Nonverbal communication is culture-related

Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school geography teacher in Australia, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking．He wrote some well-organized nonsense （something untrue） on the blackboard．The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions．This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers．The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning （PEEL）．
PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had concluded that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals; what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else．Students’ lack of an over-all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity．
Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty-headed but have their own explanations of how the world works．Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they differ from scientific explanations that are learned later．In fact such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching．Students accept the teacher’s scientific explanation, but do not drop their own．They simply keep both and use them practically: in a class test, they copy the teacher’s idea, but in real life they use their own．
Clearly what was needed was to make students understand their learning process（过程）, and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with．On the surface,（表面） a class being taught by PEEL methods only differs from an ordinary class in being a little noisier, because more people are talking．But there are some meaningful changes．Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don’t make immediate judgment．The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected．This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress．
The aim of Hynes’ experiment was to ______．
A．show that students didn’t think about what they learnt
B．prove the effectiveness of the project known as PEEL
C．test students’ general knowledge about geography
D．encourage students to ask more questions in class
Why did some teachers and researchers carry out PEEL?
A．To ensure teachers do scientific work．
B．To help students get higher test scores．
C．To find the differences between what is taught and learnt．
D．To help normal teaching methods achieve their goals．
An important difference between PEEL and non-PEEL classes is that in the PEEL classes ______．
A．the teacher does not give the usual scientific explanations
B．students always have their own knowledge of the subject
C．more attention is paid to the students’ own ideas
D．the best explanations are given by the students
What is Damien Hynes？
A．He is a teacher who teaches geography in a high school in Australia
B．He is a geography teacher and a researcher in Australia
C．He is a teacher teaching geography in a high school in Austria
D．He is a high school geography teacher in Austria．

When I recall my experiences of feeling heard and deeply understood by someone, I know how much the experiences helped me to cope With (对付) whatever I was dealing with at the time. Caring people who I have turned to in difficult times helped me the most by listening and asking about my feelings.
During one of my volunteer jobs at a local HIV and cancer clinic, I found the helpfulness of empathic (感情移入的) listening. As a volunteer I was providing emotional support for people with health related problems. Empathic listening really made a difference on how patients felt about their health problems. By sharing about their pain and suffering and my willingness to listen, they felt less alone.
We can make life easier for each other by becoming a better listener and encouraging each other to share our feelings. We can become a better listener by avoiding giving advice and trying to solve problems unless we are asked to do so. Pressuring others to solve their life problems—“our ways”— is not helpful. Most people intuitively (凭直觉地) know how to solve their own problems. As a listener it's important to be patient and not to interrupt the speaker. Let them know it's OK to talk about their feelings and support them in feeling their feelings.
When one neither shares nor reaches out for support, he or she can remain a lonely mystery. Life can feel lonely when one keeps everything inside. Feeling alone with life problems can be worse than the problem itself. When we let a caring person listen to our life struggle, we will no longer feel alone with our struggle. Don't be afraid to ask your loved ones to take time to hear you out .Sometimes you have to ask for it. People cannot read your mind. Confiding in others can have a positive effect on our mood.
What made the author comfortable in difficult times?
A. Persuading B. Sharing C. Apologizing D. Complaining
According to the second paragraph, we can know that .
A. the patients enjoyed listening to the author
B. the author found empathic listening was helpless
C. the patients didn't get on well with the author
D. the author did a good job at a cancer clinic
What does the underlined part“Confiding in others”in the last paragraph mean?
A. Telling others your secrets. B. Reading others' mind.
C. Listening to others. D. Leaving others alone.
What's the main idea of this passage?
A. Listening and sharing can make you happier.
B. People know how to solve their own problems.
C. It is wrong to give advice to solve problems.
D. You should learn to believe in other people.
