When peple cmmunicate, they use bdy language mre than wrds. Peple’s bdy language shws imprtant infrmatin just like speech des. When smene lies with their wrds, their bdy language ften tells the truth. The next time yu wnder if smene is telling yu the truth, try watching their hands.
A persn wh is being hnest will usually turn ne r bth f their palms (手掌) twards the ther persn. If a persn is beginning t “pen up” r share imprtant infrmatin, yu may ntice them turn their palms twards yu. Like mst bdy language, this uncnscius (无意识的) gesture usually gives the ther persn the feeling that the speaker is speaking hnestly.
When peple lie, they tend t hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back r hlding them. Others will keep their hands in their pckets if they are lying r trying t hide infrmatin. Salespeple are smetimes trained t watch ut fr this specific example f bdy language when a persn is saying that they can’t affrd a prduct r service. Smetimes prfessinal liars try t use pen-palm gestures t fl thers. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie thrugh their bdy language such as lack f eye cntact and tuching the nse.
Research has als suggested that if peple nrmally turn their palms t face their listeners, they tend t be mre hnest themselves. If yu want peple’s hnesty, talk t them and ask them questins while keeping yur palms turned ut. This will put pressure n the peple yu are talking t.
Human bdy language, emtin, and cmmunicatin are directly cnnected. By shwing that yu are hnest, with yur palms twards peple, yur bdy language pushes thers t tell yu the truth.
49. What des the underlined phrase “pen up” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. 敞开心扉B. 开辟C. 产生D. 取得
50. What d peple usually uncnsciusly d when they lie?
A. They tend t hide their feet.B. They tend t shake yur hands.
C. They tend t hide their palms.D. They tend t turn their palms twards yu.
51. Smene is prbably lying when he r she is ________.
A. tuching the nseB. using pen-palm gestures
C making eye cntact with yuD. sharing imprtant infrmatin
52. Talking with yur palms pen will encurage thers t ________.
A. behave activelyB. gesture carefully
C. be hnest with yuD. frget their pressure
