22、BWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering(送) milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer（硬幣盒）fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during

23、a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer. Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. A

24、nd then, the buttermilk would magically appear. All of this was about more than convenience(便利). There was a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk would

25、nt be frozen. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Be

26、sides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service. Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back mychildhood memories.

46、s louder than words. Body language can tell you whether someone is happy to see you or not. One of the most important things that body language can tell, however, is whether a person is lying or not. Heres how you can decide whether someone is telling you the truth or not, based on body language alo

47、ne.The eyes are said to be the windows of the soul and one of the things that the little windows will show you is whether someone is honest or not. When talking to people, look at their eyes and pay attention to whether they are turning away from your close watch or not. People are usually uncomfort

48、able when lying to the person that they are talking to. Besides lying, eyes that have a lot of movement usually show that the person is about to lie or that the person has told a lie.第6頁 （共 9頁）People who lie often touch their noses and other parts of their faces. If you notice that someone talking t

49、o you unconsciously( 無意識(shí)地) touches his nose, this probably means that he is lying. The reason why people touch their faces when they lie is that lying usually causes an increase in blood circulation（血循環(huán)）, leading to an uncomfortable feeling in the small blood vessels（血管） in the nose or in the face.A

50、nother common body language suggestion that someone is lying is when a person crosses his arms. Crossing the arms means that the person is both being defensive（防御的）and shutting himself off. People who are telling the truth will usually make an open gesture(姿態(tài))with the arms on the side to show that t

51、hey are not hiding anything. However, people will cross their arms when they are lying.If you plan to use body language to tell whether someone is lying or not, make sure that you are noticed and that you are looking in the face and the persons body all at the same time.TitleThemeHow to read truth i
