　　As an actor,you've heard it before:Your body is your instrument.It's a cliche for a reason−it's true.Just as a guitar player or violinist needs to often fine−tune(微调)their instrument,you need to do the same.Here,let's break down everything you should learn about body language exerrcises for actors,as well as why they're necessary in the first place for enhancing your acting skills.

　　Body language is the most emotive form of communication after verbal speech.You can learn so much about what's going on inside based on what's being externalized.Think about how some entertainment magazines offten ask a“body language expert”to analyze a photo of a celebrity couple.However legit(合法的)that person's expertise may be,there are many truths when it comes to body language.

　　By that same reasoning,think about how much an audience can learn about a character based on the actor'S body language.You can pass on subconscious information about your rrole without saying a word.These exercises will put you in touch with your body and make you more aware of what you're expressing to the outside world.They can help you get into the physicality of your character so that you can understand them inside and out.

　　Each performer is different and may have their preferable body language exercise.Take the gait (步法)exercise as an example.How a character walks is especially telling;it's literally how they move through the world.An individual's way of walking can also change depending on how they're feeling at the moment:excited,ashamed,scared,etc.Have a bash at different walking styles to show the person you're playing.Besides,you can write the gestures.This one is actually a writing exercise,but it will still come in handy when we construct a performance.Write out a short scene between two characters who have an entire conversation using only their body language.

答案： 1. C　推理判断题。引用的这句话的下文谈到吉他手或小提琴手微调乐器是很重要的，所以这里是用吉他手和小提琴手类比演员。吉他手或小提琴手微调乐器是为了更好的表演效果，结合下文演员为了提高演技而练习肢体语言的情况可推知，作者引用“你的身体是你的乐器”这句话是想说明完善身体表达对演员来说很重要(重要性类似于吉他手或小提琴手微调乐器)。故选C。
2. B　推理判断题。根据第二段信息可知，我们可以从外化的事物中了解到很多内部发生的事情。一些娱乐杂志经常请“肢体语言专家”来分析名人夫妇的照片。不管那个人的专业知识多么合法，涉及肢体语言时，还是有很多事实的。故可推知，作者给出的例子说明了表面的肢体动作能够传递给我们很多信息。故选B。
3. A　细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句“These exercises will put you in touch with your body and make you more aware of what you're expressing to the outside world. They can help you get into the physicality of your character so that you can understand them inside and out.”可知，肢体语言练习能让演员了解自己的身体，更加清楚自己向外界传达的信息，帮助演员进入所扮演的角色，由内至外地了解角色。故选A。
4. C　词义猜测题。根据最后一段画线短语上文提到的例子可知，不同的走路方式反映一个人的不同心情。画线短语所在句意为“尝试不同的走路方式以展示你扮演的那个人。”根据常识推断，要根据所扮演的人物或人物所处的心理状态“尝试”不同的走路方式。画线短语Have a bash at的意思是“尝试”，与Try out意思相近。故选C。
