Words are important, but body language can also give us information about their feelings.
Like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.
The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures.
Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world.
Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere.
Some body language has many different uses.
Obviously, the passage places more emphasis on than the
similarities of body language around the world.

Most places
① How is the body language mentioned in the text interpreted in China
② Can you think of an example of body language that is appropriate in China but might be misunderstood in another culture
Some are the same in China. For example, the gesture for putting hands together and resting them on the side of your head means sleeping.
Avoiding eye contact and lowering one’s head may mean respect and being shy in China, whereas in some other countries this body language may be interpreted as being rude.

① Smiles can be used to hide feelings like anger, fear, or worry. Can you describe a situation where you might smile when you don’t mean it
Sometimes I smile when I am impatient, but I know I shouldn’t be. For example, if I am riding a train and a baby starts crying, I may try to smile, because even though the baby’s crying is annoying, I know that it is not the baby’s fault and there is probably nothing that can be done.

②Apart from fake smiles, is there any other kind of body language that can sometimes be fake
There are “crocodile tears”. This is when a person fakes feeling sad or sympathetic for another person. (The phrase comes from an old story that crocodiles cry while they are eating, although they do not feel sad for their victim.)

③ Which is a more reliable guide for understanding someone’s feelings, their body language or the words they speak
√ Normally, words are considered something that has more reliability than body language, which includes the way you move or the expressions you show. By comparison, words are more literal and easier to understand.
√ The body language is much more reliable than the words they say, for the reason that the majority of people actually have trouble hiding their feelings, such as anger, disappointment, or irritation.
