In England, people buy bus tickets on the bus. In France, they buy them at a bus station. In Australia, they can buy them from a magazine store. Books on cross-cultural communication make us curious by focusing on differences between people across the world: in social behavior and the importance of their body language, etc.
For example, how close you stand to someone when you are speaking to him is different in different cultures. Surveys in most countries tell us that the proper distance（距离）of two people standing in a social situation is between 1. 2 metres and 3.5 metres. But in China, this distance seems to be smaller, while in Sweden, people usually stand farther.
The message sent by the way you stand or sit is another condition. For example, it is quite common in European countries to sit with your legs crossed. But people in Arab countries hardly ever sit in this way—because they might show you the bottom of their shoes, and it is thought to be impolite.
Such information fills the pages of guides for travellers and international business people. Clearly it is important to know a little about eating customs and the rules about basic greetings—whether you should bow or shake someone's hands. But under the surface, we are not so different. There are many signs that are common in the emotions（情感）that they communicate.
Smiling is the best known of these, but not the only one. Scientists have proven that all over the world, people show sadness in a similar way. People look down with their face “falling” and mouth corner turning down. There are also common factors when people are bored. They will look at other things in an distracted（漫不经心的） way--their watches, for example. Their feet will begin to move restlessly showing that they want to escape.
Understanding these body languages and acting properly is the real key to cross-cultural communication. If we all pay just a little attention, it is impossible that we will cause lasting inconvenience by using the wrong body language or standing too near to strangers and then make them feel uncomfortable.
