    Body language refers to the nonverbal signals that we use to communicate.1.. From our facial expressions to our body movements, the things we don’t say can still tell us lots of information.

Understanding body language is important.2.. You should look at these signals as a group rather than focusing on a single action.

Covering the mouth may be an effort to be polite if the person is yawning or coughing, but it may also show that he tries to cover up a frown of disapproval.3., but smiles can also be read in many ways. A smile may be sincere, or it may be used to express false happiness, irony, or even anti-society.

4.:

Pursed(蹶起的)lips.

Tightening the lips might be an indicator(指示)of distaste, disapproval, or distrust.

Lip biting.

People sometimes bite their lips when they are worried, anxious, or stressed.

5.

When people want to hide an emotional reaction, they might cover their mouths in order to avoid showing smiles.

Turned up or down.

Slight changes in the mouth can also be tiny reflections of what a person is feeling. When the mouth is slightly turned up, it might mean that the person is feeling happy or optimistic. On the other hand, a slightly down-turned mouth can be an indicator of sadness, disapproval, or even suffering.

A.Change the mouth

B.Covering the mouth

C.We must understand some single signals

D.But it is also important to pay attention to other signals

E.Smiling is perhaps one of the greatest body language signals

F.These nonverbal signals make up a huge part of daily communication

G.When talking about body language, pay attention to the following mouth and lip signals

    People eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program, the more they eat, according to a new research.

It seems that distracted(分心的)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Hirsch explored the effect of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring the number of potato chip eaten.

Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted while they watched programs by late- night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were also given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsh found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.

“If you can concentrate on how the food tastes you’ll eat less because you’ll feel full faster,” Hirsch said in an interview all the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Toronto. “So if that’s the case, let’s look at the opposite. What if you’re distracted? If you’re distracted, in theory then , eat more.”

Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense and taste sensation, which typically results in weight gain became the brain does not know when it should stop eating.

The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus(丘脑下部)where the so-called satiety (饱足)center is located, tells the body whether it is hungry or full. If it is stopped tricked the result can be changed in eating patterns, he said,“People who cook spaghetti all day don’t feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day,” said Hirsch. “By being exposed to a smell all day long it’s tricking the hypothalamus.”

Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory taste and smell, in addition to internal body changes, signal satiety. But when distracted, a person does not pay attention to either the body’s sensations of feeling full, or to the sensory characteristics of the food.

Many studies have linked obesity to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity. But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing. “If you want to lose weight, turn off the television or watch something boring,” Hirsch said.

    The earliest films were short, lasting only one minute or less. People could, for one cent, see simple action of trains, fire engines, parades(游行),crowds on city streets, and similar subject. Soon, 20-minute pictures of news items were being shown in theatres at the end of the regular stage show. Later, films used a new method (putting the beginning of one scene upon the end of the scene before) for magical effects and to tie a story together. In 1903 a film was made about a train robbery. Much of the action took place at the same time — the robbers escaping, the men meeting and planning to capture them — and the scenes shifted smoothly, back and forth from one scene to another instead of unnaturally showing each scene separately.

This was the early successful film in which scenes were filmed al different places and times and then combined to make a logical story. A short time later, theaters showed for five cents a whole hour’s entertainment of short films — comedy, travel, and drama. These films were simple and rough, and many were vulgar(粗俗的). Gradually, the tastes of the audiences improved as the techniques improved.
