问题     All of us communicate with one another verbally (口头的) as well as non-verbally. Most of the time we are not aware that we’re doing it. We wave a hand, meet someone else’s eyes or look away, shift positions in a chair. We make these movements unconsciously. But researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent (一致的) and comprehensible as language.
    Every culture has its body language. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, Americans are likely to end a statement with a lowering of the eyelids. They conclude a question with a lift of the hand or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. Your sex, ethnic background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Nevertheless, you move and gesture within a certain idiom.
    Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often it’s a case of "not what he said but the way he said it."
    Experts in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. The expert looks for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture.
All of the following statements are true of Americans EXCEPT ______ .

选项 A、start a question with widened eyes
B、have their forward movements in future-tense verbs
C、cross their legs in a different way that Englishmen do
D、tend to lower their eyelids to conclude a statement

答案A

解析 细节推理判断题。本题询问四个选项中哪一项对美国人的说法是不正确的。根据文章第二段第四句可以知道,美国人只有在问题问完了之后,才会有睁大眼睛的行动,因此选项A(问问题前睁大眼睛)不是文章中对美国人的正确表述,符合题目要求,为正确答案。根据第二段第二、三、四和五句可以知道选项B(表示将采的情况时使用向前的动作)、选项C(翘腿的姿势和英国人不一样)和选项D(叙述完后眨一下眼睛)的表述部符合美国人的特点,因此不符合题目要求,为错误选项。
