Its in our nature to do this, if only to a small degree in some folk. For different reasons people on purpose and frequently hide their true feelings. In expectation of these “hidden” tendencies(倾向) in others, humans try to imagine what another person has in their mind. The need to understand what lies behind the cover obviously increases according to the importance of the relationship.Body language helps us to manage and guard against these tendenciesbody language often helps people to communicate with each other and settle relationship problems if speech fails to do so. Body language has developed though we humans grow brighter.While the importance of body language in communications and management, etc., has become a popular interest and science in the last few decades, human beings have relied on body language naturally in many ways for thousands of years. Early natural pioneers of interpreting (翻译) body language were for example the poker players of the American Wild West. The winners had not only to be good at shooting, but also skilled in reading other peoples non-verbal signals, and controlling their own signals. Before these times, explorers had to be able to read the body language to know whether to trust or defend or attack. Earlier than this, our ancestors living in caves certainly needed to read body language instead of language. Humans have also learned to read the body language of animals, although humans almost certainly had greater skills in this area a long time ago. Shepherds (牧羊人), horse-riders and people who teach animals to act throughout time and still today have good capabilities in reading animal body language. 【语篇解读】本文介绍了肢体语言的产生、演化和发展背景及意义。1.Why did the ancient people living in caves have to read body language?A.Because they lived a natural life.
