IV READING:
* Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer
Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs and other parts of the body and face are the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control It is estimated that there are over 200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movement, each capable of stimulating a different meaning
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit We tend to be more relaxed with friends or when addressing those of lower status Body orientation also indicates status or linking
of the other individual More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support
or reject the spoken word If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate

A faces B legs C stomachs D hands
32 Face gestures ………
A can help us control our feeling B are the most difficult to control
C cannot express our feelings D do not include eye brow movement
