Many people think that the most popular way of municating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual munication using the mouth accounts for(占……比例)only around 10%(or even less)of all the means to municate a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody municates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really municating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job? ” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task? ”You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning(皱眉), pouting(撅嘴), facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.

(答案→)D
解析：
【文章大意】本文说明人们之间的交际不仅通过语言完成, 而且也通过体态语言进行。
【小题1】选D。细节理解题。第一段说语言交流只占所有交流方式的10%或者更少。虽然下文讲的是body language的重要性, 但并没有说明最主要的交流方式是什么, 也没有说body language是最快捷的交流方式或者最强有力的交流工具, 故只有D的说法合理。
【小题2】选B。推理判断题。根据下文中的“然而, 体态语言却不会撒谎”及句中hide的意思推断该句意为“口述会掩盖真实意图”, 故B项适合语境。
【小题3】选A。词义猜测题。联系上文, 这句话意思是“你不能直接问他, 因为这样看起来就像看不起他”。因此选A。
