The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them. To learn bow to use the nee
16、dles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful.

24、gh 45. 30 All of us communicate with one another verbally (口头的 ) as well as non-verbally. Most of the time we are not aware that were doing it. We wave a hand, meet someone elses eyes or look away, shift positions in a chair. We make these movements unconsciously. But researchers have discovered tha
25、t there is a system to them almost as consistent (一致的 ) and comprehensible as language. Every culture has its body language. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, Americans are likely to end a statement with a lowering of the eyelids. The
26、y conclude a question with a lift of the hand or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. Your sex, ethnic background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Nevertheless, you move and gestu
27、re within a certain idiom. Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often its a case of “not what he said but the way he said it.“
28、 Experts in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. The expert looks for patt
29、erns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture. 31 Which of the following is NOT a way of non-verbal communications according to the fnst paragraph? （ A） Waving a hand. （ B） Making eye contact. （ C） Changing positions in a chair. （ D） Crying in a low voice. 32 According to researchers,
