本阅读材料的话题是交际中的肢体语言,作者从三个方面讲述了肢体语言的特征与作用,通过主题句和举例阐述的方式让读者了解不同文化中肢体语言的相同或者不同的意义,并从更抽象、概括的维度深入认识肢体语言的特点,理解肢体语言的作用。基于肢体语言的特点,作者提醒读者在与人交流中,尤其是当文化背景有差异的时候,要使用得体的肢体语言,尊重、理解和包容不同的文化,进行有效、有素养的沟通。文本共由六个段落组成,篇章结构为“总—分”。第一段用简练的语言引出了话题,并且从我们自身表达的需要和了解他人感受两个角度讲述了肢体语言的作用。第二段阐述了肢体语言的第一个重要特点——肢体语言在不同的文化中有不同的内涵——这也是文中写作篇幅最大的一个要点,最为重要。通过讲述肢体语言的这一特点,作者向读者传递了要尊重不同的文化、要使用与所在文化相宜的肢体语言。
