XB1 Unit 4 Body Language 单元小测（50分）
一、阅读理解（4*2=8）
We all know that a powerful body posture may help people feel more confident. But will it work on students A new study by researchers from the Martin Luther University (MLU) of Halle-Wittenberg is carried out to find the connection. And it does provide evidence that simple body postures can help students feel better in school.
Some body postures don’t need further explanation. When a man sits with his arms crossed behind his head, resting his feet on a table, he is probably feeling very self-confident. Arms folded in front of one’s body and a bent back, on the other hand, typically mean anxiety and insecurity. “Body language is not just about expressing feelings, it can also have a great influence on how a person feels,” explains Robert K rner from the Institute of Psychology at MLU.
Research on powerful body postures tries to find out the extent to which a certain body posture might influence a person’s feelings and self-confidence. Up to now, most of the research has been about studying the effects on adults. K rner’s study is the first to examine children. “Children from the age of five are able to recognize and understand the body postures of others,” the professor adds.
The researchers carried out their experiment with 108 fourth graders. One group was to assume two open postures for one minute each. The other group posed with their arms folded in front of them and their heads down. The children then finished a series of psychological tests. The children who had assumed an open posture showed better moods and reported higher self-confidence than the children in the other group. The effects were particularly manifest when it came to questions concerning school. “Here, powerful body postures had the strongest effect on the children’s self-confidence,” says K rner.
“Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, K rner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term. Serious problems or mental illness must be treated by trained professionals.

Almost everybody lies to some degree. 1 However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers(弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for.
2
There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. 3 Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body.
Ask questions — quickly.
If you suspect you’re being lied, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy,” explains Kang Lee, professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development. “ 4 When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.”
Check for emotional “leaks”.
Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements,
some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. 5 And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie.
So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it.
A. Listen to the voices. B. Get better at body language. C. The follow-up lie is more difficult. D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still. E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart. F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact. G. Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives.
