Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks  36  than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more    37   than we realize. In fact, non-verbal(非言语) communication takes up about 50% of what we really   38  , And body language is  particularly   39   when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so   40   ，a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed。And misunderstandings occur as a result of it.  41   , different societies treat the   42  , between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having   43  , contact(接触) even with friends, certainly not with  44  . People from Latin American countries   45   , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in   46   , it may look like a Latino is   47  a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving   48  . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep   49   — which the Latino will in return regard as   50  .

   Clearly, a great deal is going on when people   51   . And only a part of it is in the wards themselves. And when parties are from   52   cultures, there's a strong possibility of   53  . But whatever the situation, the best   54   is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be  55  .
