问题     I’d like to talk to you today about an article that appeared in the Honolulu Advertiser. The article was concerned (31) something called nonverbal communication. This is a phenomenon that scientists are now studying.
    Nonverbal communication has to (32) with gestures, movements, and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that these gestures, movements, and so forth have meaning which the words (33) the people are using do not carry.
    For (34), the physical distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are being "pushy" (35) they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, (36) the South American often considers the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater (37) between himself and the person he is speaking to. In the Middle East, it’s considered seductive for a woman to allow a man (38) look her in the eye. This "eye contact" provides another example of what we’re calling (39) communication. A social psychologist has observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other (40) there is between people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in you (41) than the amount of interest he has in the thing you are talking about.
    On the other (42), too long a gaze can be embarrassing. Most people become uncomfortable when they’re stared (43). The eyes apparently play a great (44) in nonverbal communication. Frequently looking (45) can indicated submissiveness, humility, or embarrassment, or even boredom (46) dislike. Genuine warmth or interest can often be seen in they eyes. One scientist suggests that pleasant, satisfying experiences (47) to make the pupils of the eyes grow larger. Sometimes when we feel that a person is being "warm" or "friendly" it is possible that we are reacting to a form of nonverbal communication—his opened pupils.
    We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always (48), and with little apparent reason, often makes us feel uneasy.
    Keep in mind what we’re said about nonverbal communication, and the next time you’re at a party try to notice which persons seem (49) draw close together when speaking—which persons seem to try to stay further apart or even to avoid each other. You may find this silent language, (50) we’ve called nonverbal communication, very interesting and even fascinating.
