Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 1 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 2 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal(非言语) communication takes up about 50% of what we really 3 . And body language is particularly 4 when we attempt to communicate across cultures . Indeed, what is called body language is so 5 a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 6 , different societies treat the 7 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 8 contact (接触) even with friends, and certainly not with 9 .People from Latin American countries, 10 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in 11 , it may look like a Latino is 12 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 13 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 14 —which the Latino will in return regard as 15 .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 16 . And only a part of it is in the words the- mselves. And when parties are from 17 cultures, there’s a strong possibility of 18 . But whatever the situation, the best 19 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 20 .

解析：1.specialistn. 专家Latino. 拉丁美洲人the Golden Rule金科玉律;指导原则;黄金法则长准句型In fact, non-verbal (非言语) communication takes up about 50% of what we really mean.实际上,在我们想进行的交际中,非语言交际大约占据了50%。take up意为“占用,占据”,of后面为what引导的宾语从句。肢体语言在日常交际中非常重要,但是在不同文化背景下对它却有着不同的理解,因此有时也会引起双方的误解。根据上句中的most powerful language以及下文的内容可知,此处表示肢体语言比文字语言更容易把意思表达清楚,用副词比较级修饰speaks。louder更响亮;straighter更直接;harder更艰难地;further更进一步。
2.在专家们看来,与我们所意识到的相比,我们的身体能传达出更多的信息。根据bodies以及send out可以得知答案。
3.实际上,在我们想进行的交际中,非言语交际大约占据了50%。hope希望;receive收到;discover发现,察觉; mean想说(的话),想表达(的意思)。
4.当我们试图进行跨文化交流时,肢体语言就显得格外重要。
5.上文提到肢体语言在日常交际中大约占到了一半,故此句表示它是我们自身很大的一部分,以至于实际上我们经常忽视它的存在。
6.上句中提到会发生误解,下文是对此进行举例,for example用于举例说明,符合语境。
7.下文提到拉丁美洲人努力缩短和挪威人之间的距离,故distance(距离)符合语境。
8.甚至朋友之间,北欧人通常也不喜欢肢体上的接触,对于陌生人,他们当然更不会喜欢这种接触了。
9.此处与friends形成了对比。stranger陌生人;relative亲属;neighbour邻居;enemy敌人。
10.上文讲到了北欧人的习惯,此处要针对拉丁美洲人的习惯进行说明,on the other hand另一方面,符合语境。in other words换句话说;in a similar way相似地;by all means当然可以。
11.根据下文可知,拉丁美洲人一直在缩短与挪威人之间的距离,此时两个人应该是在房间进行交谈。
12.根据下文的叙述,拉丁美洲人想离对方近一些以示友谊,而挪威人却一直在后退,好像是拉丁美洲人在追着挪威人跑一样。
13.根据trying to express friendship可知,拉丁美洲人极力想离对方近一些。
14.根据pushiness可知,挪威人在向后退。
15.拉丁美洲人认为距离近是表明两人的友好,而挪威人却在不断后退而保持双方的距离,故拉丁美洲人认为这是“冷漠”的表现。
16.根据上文出现的conversation以及下句中的words,可知talk符合语境。
17.根据上文可知,谈话的双方来自不同的文化。
18.根据上文出现的misunderstandings以及拉丁美洲人和挪威人之间的误解可得知答案。
19.根据to obey the Golden Rule...可知,此处表示“建议”。
20.要想别人怎么对待你,你就要怎么对待别人。根据 treat可得知答案。
