The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry. For example, the body distance b
11、etween two speakers can be important.

12、ween himself and the person he is speaking to. The “eye contact“ provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication.

13、me that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indi-cates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about. On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparent-ly play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest
14、, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to bea sign of friendliness.

19、 very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the chil-dren happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的 ) methods of education were discredited (不被认可 ) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far i
20、n the direction of trying to make children happy and interestedrather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co- operation rather

This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for mak-ing people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of educa-tion. Most Americans do grow up with competit
22、ive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails.
