A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate.It is a positive,silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back.When you smile,you show you have noticed the person in a positive way.The result?That person will usually smile back.
　　You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems.A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin.This is often called the"thinking pose".Ask yourself this question:Are you going to interrupt someone who appears.to be deep in thought?This position gives off"stay away"signs and prevents your main"sign sender"(your mouth)from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs.
　　The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other person--that is,within about five feet.Take care,however,not to enter someone's"personal space"by getting too close,too soon.
　　Leaning forward a little while a person is talking shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying.By doing this,you are saying:I hear what you're saying,and I'm interested in--keep talking!
　　Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth,chin,or behind their head in the"thinking"pose.This position gives off signs of judgment,doubt,and lack of interest from the listener.Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged,this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing.
　　In many cultures the most common form of first contact between two people is a handshake.Be the first to extend your hand in greeting.Couple this with a friendly"Hello",a nice smile,and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication.
　　Eye contact should be natural,not forced or overdone.Direct eye contact shows you are listening to the other person and that you want to know about her.

　　参考译文：
　　微笑是一种友好开放的态度和愿意沟通的强烈信号。这是一个积极的，无声的信号，寄予希望的人会微笑回来。当你微笑时，你表现出你以一种积极的方式注意到了那个人。结果如何？那个人通常会笑回来。
　　你可能没有意识到一个封闭的职位是导致许多谈话问题的原因。一个常见的闭合姿势是交叉双臂和双腿坐着，手捂住嘴或下巴。这通常被称为“思考姿势”。问你自己这个问题：你要打断出现的人吗？深入思考？这个职位会发出“远离”的信号，并防止你的主要“信号发送者”（你的嘴）被其他人看到，寻找邀请的对话信号。
　　当你把自己放在与他人沟通的距离内——也就是说，在大约5英尺的范围内时，敞开身体的姿势是最有效的。但是，要小心，不要太近，太快进入别人的“私人空间”。
　　当一个人说话时，向前倾一点可以显示出你的兴趣，以及你是如何倾听他所说的话的。这样做，你就说：我听到你在说什么，我很感兴趣——继续说！
　　通常，人们会以“思考”的姿势，双手放在嘴、下巴或脑后，向后倾斜。这个姿势会让听众产生判断、怀疑和缺乏兴趣的迹象。由于大多数人认为自己被评判时感觉不舒服，这种向后倾斜的姿势有助于阻止演讲者继续讲话。
　　在许多文化中，两人第一次接触最常见的形式是握手。第一个伸出你的手打招呼。再加上一个友好的“你好”，一个微笑，还有你的名字，你已经迈出了打开沟通渠道的第一步。
　　眼睛接触应该是自然的，而不是强迫的或过度的。直接的眼神交流表明你在倾听对方的声音，并且你想了解她。
