Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I   36   my car and was about to drive off, I

  37   at the roadside. A piece of paper   38   my eye. I picked it up and read it   39  . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that.

    The form turned out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’   40   of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and  __41  : no one would throw this away, especially   42   it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal   43  , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed __44  . The form had been blown by the wind, so   45   would I find the owners? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date and   46   the names of the owners , who must  47   in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in a（n）  48   addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined that if I had posted the receipt to a wrong   49   , how frantic（慌乱的）I’d be. But it was much   __50_  to attempt to return it than to leave them angry, upset , etc. over the   51   , so I did as I thought. My hunch（预感） was right. On the weekend, a happy couple   52   my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked（恐慌）and   53   the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to   54   another 8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing   55   that at first glance seemed minor.

Continuing from the previous post 6 reasons to improve your body language, here is just a few of many pointers on how to improve your body language. Improving your body language can make a big difference in your people skills, attractiveness and general mood.

There is no specific advice on how to use your body language. What you do might be interpreted in several ways, depending on the setting and who you are talking to. You’ll probably want to use your body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl/guy you’re interested in. These are some common interpretations（解释，诠释） of body language and often more effective ways to communicate with your body.

First, to change your body language you must be aware of your body language. Notice how you sit, how you stand, how you use you hands and legs, what you do while talking to someone.

You might want to practice in front of a mirror. Yeah, it might seem silly but no one is watching you. This will give you good feedback on how you look to other people and give you an opportunity to practise a bit before going out into the world.

Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself move like that version of yourself. Then try it out. You can also take bits and pieces you like from different people. Try using what you can learn from them.

According to the passage, the improved body language can ______.

make people charming

make people encouraged

make people disappointed

make people interested

From paragraph 2, we can learn that ______ will depend on how to use your body language.

some specific advice on how to use your body language

the backgrounds and the person who you are communicating with

the way a person communicate with other people

the mood of the person who you are communicating with 

If a person wants to change his body language when he is talking, he must ______.

pay attention to others’ postures

pay attention to his own hands and legs

When a person practise his body language, he can ______ .

improve his body language in public

treat others body language well

make himself appear silly and funny

make himself become confident

Maybe a person can’t behave well in public until he ______ .

imitate different famous peoples ’body language

imitate others’ body language without any change

close his eyes to imagine his body language

close his eyes to imagine and practise his body language
