Body Language

Many people believe the way to really know somebody is to understand what they mean when they're saying 23.1somethinganythingnothingeverything at all! This is the science of understanding body language. In fact, learning how to recognize body language and how to use it to communicate your 23.2singleownonlyevery message is big business. Nowadays, there are hundreds of books written on the subject.

Experts are even going into companies to talk 23.3bytoatfor employees about how to perform better. They suggest that this can be done with a few changes in their body-talk. Welcoming body language, for example, ought to include giving a friendly 23.4nodclapwaveshake to say hello and leaning forward slightly to show you want to listen. Small things like eye contact and posture can also send a powerful 23.5voicesoundnoisesignal about how confident or interested a person feels.

The problem is, the more we understand body language, the more able we are to change it if we want to. This means that realizing when somebody is telling a lie is more difficult than it used to be! For this reason, some experts believe that relying too much on body language alone can actually be misleading.

Read the following text and answer the questions.

People often refer to colors as being "warm," such as red, and "cool," like blue and green. However, when you touch a red wool sweater, it doesn't actually feel warmer than a blue one. So, why do we use these terms to describe colors?

First, explore warm colors. Warm things in our environment can provide some insight. When someone is warm, their face might turn red. The hot sun emits a glowing yellow to orange light. During warm summer weather, strawberries and tomatoes ripen, displaying vibrant shades of red. These examples might be why we tend to associate red, yellow, and orange with warm colors.

But why do we associate blue and green with coolness? Is it because cold seas and oceans often appear blue and green? Or perhaps it's because people seek relief from the heat in the shade of green trees? Maybe it's because lips can turn blue when exposed to cold temperatures. Many things related to coldness seem to have blue and green colors.

Beyond our perceptual experiences, there's a scientific basis for categorizing colors as warm or cool. Scientists have used a specialized instrument called a thermopile to measure color temperatures. Their findings reveal that reds, yellows, and oranges register a higher temperature compared to blues and greens. Although we cannot physically feel the temperature difference, scientifically speaking, warm colors indeed tend to be warmer than cool colors.
