But nonverbal skills are much more difficult to learn. Nonverbal behaviors mainly include eye contact, facial expression, posture, gestures, and the use of time, space, and territory. The messages sent by body language and the way we arrange time and space have always been open to interpretation. When cultures differ, it bees very difficult to understand nonverbal behaviors. In western culture, for example ,people perceive silence as a negative trait(品質(zhì) ). It suggests rejection, unhappiness, depression, regret, embarrassment, or ignorance. However, the Japanese proverb says, “Those who know do not speak。 those who speaks do not know.”Silence is equated with wisdom. Gestures can also create different reactions in different cultures and thus one must be careful in using and interpreting them .In some societies it is extremely bad pointing one39。s finger as in giving directions .Other hand gestures can also cause trouble .The thumbs up symbol may be used to indicate approval in many countries ,but in Iran and Ghana it is a vulgar (粗俗的 )gesture. As businesspeople increasingly interact with their their counterparts from other cultures, they will bee more aware of these differences. Some behaviors are easy to warn against, such as touching people from the Middle East with the left hand. However, learning all of them is impossible, and such lists are merely the tip of the cultural iceberg. 26. Nonverbal behaviors don39。t include_________. a) posture b) facial expressions c) m
