Gesturing with hands while speaking is a common human behavior, but no one knows

why we do it. Now, a group of researchers reports that gesturing adds emphasis to speech —

but not in the way researchers had thought.

Gesturing while speaking, or “talking with your hands”， is common around the world.

Many communications researchers believe that gesturing is either done to stress important

points, or to explain specific ideas, which you can think of as the “drawing in the air”．But

there are other possibilities. For example, it could be that gesturing, by changing the size and

shape of the chest, lungs and vocal muscles, affects the sound of a person's speech.

Researchers decided to test whether this idea was true, or just so much hand waving.

The team had volunteers move their dominant hand (优势手) as if they were cutting wood,

while continuously saying “a” as in “cinema”．They were instructed to keep the “a” sound as

steady as they could. Despite that instruction, when the team played audio recordings of this

to other people, they found the listener could hear the speaker's gestures. When the listener

was asked to move their arms to the rhythm, their movements matched perfectly with those

of the original speaker.

Because of the way the human body is constructed, hand movements influence torso

(躯干) and throat muscles. Gestures are tightly tied to amplitude (振幅).Rather than just

using your chest muscles to produce air flow for speech, moving your arms while you speak

can add voice emphasis. And you can hear someone's motions, even when they're trying not

to let you.

“Some language researchers don't like this idea, because they want language to be all

about communicating the contents of your mind, rather than the state of your body. But we

think that gestures are allowing the voice signal to carry additional information about bodily

tension and motion. It's information of another kind，” says UConn psychologist and director

of the Center for the Ecological Study of Perception and Action James Dixon, one of the

authors of the paper.

28．What does the underlined word “emphasis” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．A little humour.

C．Extra explanation.

B．Some description.

D．Special importance.

29．What does the study mainly research?

A．Gestures' effects on voice. B．The ways to make gestures.

C．The skills of drawing in the air. D．Different gestures around the world.

30．Why can listeners “hear” speakers' gestures?

A．Because gestures go with different amplitudes.

B．Because speakers and listeners are too familiar.

C．Because volunteers have the same dominant hands.

D．Because speakers give secret instructions in their speech.

31．Some language researchers disagree with the study because they think ．

A．the body states can communicate thoughts

B．language is the only way to express oneself

C．the voice can carry body moving information

D．listeners can hear someone's motions if they like

Many people have difficulty in getting up in the might be called laziness,

but an has a new has proved that everyone has a daily energy

cycle.

During the hours when you work, you may say that you're “hot”．That's time of

day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (顶

峰).For some people the peak comes during the others it comes in the afternoon
