Cats cmmunicate a variety f messages using cats’ bdy language. Examples include arching ( 弓起) their backs as a signal f fear r attack, and slwly blinking (眨) their eyes t signal relaxatin. The pen muth withut shwing teeth suggests a feeling f playfulness. A cat which chses t lie n its back shws happiness, trust and cmfrt. Cats shw dissatisfactin by mving their ears back, equal t a human’s frwn.
As is the case with dgs, a twitching (抽动) tail can mean a little anger while a tail held high suggests cnfidence. Cats will twitch their tails when hunting r angry, while a larger twitch suggests displeasure. They may als twitch their tails when playing. A tail held high is a sign f happiness, r can be used as a greeting twards humans r ther cats (usually clse relatives) while a half-raised tail shws less pleasure, and unhappiness is expressed with a tail held lw.
Sme signals, hwever, are ften misunderstd. It is imprtant t keep in mind that each cat may shw its feelings with different bdy language. Fr instance, a cat rubbing its bdy alng an arm r a leg f its wner is nt nly a way t attract attentin and, perhaps, a way t ask fr fd; it is als a way f “marking” its wner as its wn. Usually a cat with its tail held high and twitching shws excitement, but this is ften mistaken fr anger.
Many peple fail r are t slw t understand the silent bdy language f cats. And they may have the false impressin that cats are cld-hearted, unfaithful r nt clever. T understand cats, peple must bserve a cat clsely and learn what its bdy signals tell them.

In fact, nn-verbal cmmunicatin takes up abut 50% f what we really 23 , and bdy language is particularly 24 when we attempt t cmmunicate acrss cultures. Indeed, what is called bdy language is s much a part f us that it’s actually ften unnticed. And misunderstandings ccur as a result f it. 25 , different scieties treat the 26 between peple differently. Nrthern Eurpeans usually d nt like having 27 cntact (接触) even with friends, and certainly nt with 28 . Peple frm Latin American cuntries, n the ther hand, tuch each ther quite a lt. Therefre, it’s pssible that in cnversatin, it may lk like a Latin is 29 a Nrwegian all ver the rm. The Latin, trying t express friendship, will keep mving clser. The Nrwegian, very prbably seeing this as pushiness, will keep stepping backward — which the Latin will in return regard as 30 .
Clearly, a great deal is ging n when peple 31 . And nly a part f it is in the wrds themselves. And when parties (当事人) are frm 32 cultures, there’s a strng pssibility f

It was the day f the big crss-cuntry run(越野赛跑). Students frm seven different primary schls in and arund the small twn were warming up and walking the rute (路线) thrugh thick evergreen frest.
I lked arund and finally sptted David, wh was standing by himself ff t the side by a fence. He was small fr ten years ld. His usual big tthy smile was absent tday. I walked ver and asked him why he wasn’t with the ther children. He hesitated and then said he had decided nt t run.
What was wrng? He had wrked s hard fr this event!
I quickly searched the crwd fr the schl’s cach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids frm ther schls wuld laugh at him,” he explained uncmfrtably. “I gave him the chice t run r nt, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustratin (懊恼). I knew the cach meant well — he thught he was ding the right thing. After making sure that David culd run if he wanted, I turned t find him cming twards me, his small bdy rcking frm side t side as he swung his feet frward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him frm walking r running like ther children, but David had decided t jin the crss-cuntry team. David had nt missed a single practice, and althugh he always finished his run lng after the ther children, he did always finish. As a special educatin teacher at the schl, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was prud f his strng determinatin.
Paragraph1: We sat dwn next t each ther, but David wuldn’t lk at me.
