Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact(接触)
even with friends, certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries， 45 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 ， it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 - which the Latino will in return regard as 50 _.
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 _.

When 24-year-old Hannah Brencher moved to New York after college, she was hit by loneliness. One day she felt so that she want to reach out to someone. And so she put pen to paper and started writing letters-letters to complete .
But these weren’t letters about how she was feeling. There were happy letters, all about the other person, not her. She would write messages for people to have a “ day " and tell strangers how brilliant they were, they thought no one else had noticed. Brencher began dropping the all over New York, in cafes, in library books, in parks and on the subway. It made her letter, knowing that she might be making somebody’s through just a few words. It gave her to focus on. And so, The Word Needs More Love Letters was born.
The movement is all about letters—not emails, but handwritten letters. Not love letters, written to a real beloved, but letters for strangers. They don’t necessarily say “I love you”, but they are kindness—telling people they are remarkable and and all-round amazing. It’s the sort of stuff that most people don’t really say out loud even to the people they , let alone a total stranger.
Brencher’s initiative(初衷) has now . There are more than 10,000 people who join in all over the world. Last year, she gave a talk. In it, she talked about a university student who dropped letters around her campus, only to suddenly everyone was writing them and there were love letters hanging from the trees.
It’s a very cute idea. I know that if I was on the end of a letter like that, it almost certainly would put a on my face. So I decided to give it a try and see if I could do the same for someone else.
