Lauren sighed. She'd just received an email from her boss, Gus, saying that the product plan she'd been working on wasn't going to be signed off after all. It didn't make sense. A week ago she was in a meeting with Gus and it seemed that he was really interested in it. Sure, he hadn't made much eye contact, and he kept looking out of the window.

Body language is the unspoken element(要素) of communication that people use to show their true feelings, for example, their gestures, facial expressions and postures. When we are able to read these signs, it works to our advantage. For example, it can help us know about people's reaction to what we say so that we can know what we should say to make communication easier.

答案： 1.C　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，如果劳伦对肢体语言了解更多一点，她就会意识到格斯是想告诉她，他对她的想法不感兴趣，他只是没有用言语。由此可知,劳伦以为格斯对她的方案感兴趣，但事实上并非如此，即劳伦误解了格斯的肢体语言，故选C。
2.A　主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Whenweareable to read these signs,it works to our advantage.For example,itcan help us...make communication easier."可知，当我们能够读懂这些示意的动作时，这就会对我们有利，例如，它可以帮助我们了解人们对我们所说的话的反应，这样我们就可以知道我们应该说些什么，从而使交流更容易。由此可知，第三段主要讲述的是肢体语言的积极意义，故选A。
3.B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Oftenthese situations are complicated(使复杂化)by feelings of anxiety,stress,or even anger...but these feelings often show through body language.”可知,有些情况往往因焦虑、压力甚至愤怒的感觉而变得复杂，但这些感觉往往通过肢体语言表现出来。由此可知，第四段告诉我们肢体语言可以帮助我们了解别人的感受，故选B。
