Câu 2: Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. (1.25p).

Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts of the body and face are
the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control. It is
estimated that there are over 200,000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in
another person. For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of
stimulating a different meaning.

Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and
postures. Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked.
Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken
words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech.

People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed
with friends or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates
status or liking of the other individual. More direct orientation is related to a more positive
attitude.

Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support
or reject the spoken word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized and
contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal
will dominate.
