When people communicate, they use more than words. People's body language shows important information just like speech does. When someone lies with their words, their body language often tells the truth. The next time you wonder if someone is telling you the truth, try watching their hands.
A person who is being honest will usually turn one or both of their palms (手掌) towards the other person. If a person is beginning to “open up” or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language, this unconscious (无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly.
When people lie, they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them. Others will keep their hands in their pockets if they are lying or trying to hide information. Salespeople are sometimes trained to watch out for this specific example of body language when a person is saying that they can't afford a product or service. Sometimes professional liars try to use open-palm gestures to fool others. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose.
Research has also suggested that if people normally turn their palms to face their listeners, they tend to be more honest themselves. If you want people's honesty, talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure on the people you are talking to.
Human body language, emotion, and communication are directly connected. By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth.

3.Talking with your palms open will encourage others to _____.
A. behave actively B. gesture carefully

You probably laugh at something you find funny, but how much do you really know about jokes and humour? Reader's Digest (RD) questioned several experts to give us some facts about them.
RD: What’s the oldest joke in the world?
“We can't know the oldest joke in the world because it would have existed earlier than writing,” says Christie Davies, professor of sociology at the University of Reading in the UK. The oldest joke book that's been found so far is the Greek Philogelos. It dates from the 4th century AD, although the jokes date from an earlier time. According to psychologist Steve Wilson, director of National Humor Month (April in the US), it contains 265 jokes.
RD: Do some people fail to develop a sense of humour?
Rod Martin, professor of psychology at the Western University in Canada, believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour, as we develop, humour and laughter begin to appear. “Of course, some children are more serious, quiet, and less likely to laugh frequently, but this doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humour.” And according to Steve Wilson, there are no adults who don't have a sense of humour. “Almost everyone is able to develop a sense of humour, and I teach people how,” he says.
RD: Do people share a sense of humour unique to their own nation?
Sense of humour does differ a lot by country, according to an author named Scott Weems. British humour is thought to be absurd (荒谬的) in nature, while American humour has an aggressive quality. According to a study, Germans are found to find everything funny.
1.What do we know about the oldest joke book?
A. It remains unknown. B. It was written in Greek.
C. It was found in the UK. D. It contains the oldest joke.
2.What does Rod Martin agree with about people's sense of humour?
A. Nobody is born with a sense of humour.
B. Some adults lose it when they grow up.
C. Childhood is the best time to develop such ability.
D. Children have a poorer sense of humour than adults.
3.What kind of humour has an aggressive feature?
A. British humour. B. German humour.
C. Canadian humour. D. American humour.
4.Where can you probably find the text?
A. In a popular magazine. B. In a research paper.
C. In a personal diary. D. In a textbook.
