[1] Have you ever been in the situation where you really didn’t believe what someone was saying? Did you have a sense that something didn’t ring true or a feeling that all was not right? Perhaps they were saying ‘‘Yes’’ yet their heads were shaking “No”.
[2] The difference between the words people speak and our understanding of them comes from non-verbal communication, otherwise known as “body language”. Body language includes body movements and gestures(1egs,arms,hands,head and body),posture,muscle tension,eye contact,
skin coloring,even people’s breathing rate and sweat.Additionally,the tone of voice,the rate of speech and the pitch of the voice all add to the words that are being used.
[3] By developing your awareness of the signs and signals of body language,you can more easily understand other people,and more effectively communicate with them.There are sometimes subtle(微妙的)—and sometimes not so subtle—movements,gestures, facial expressions and even shifts in our whole bodies that indicate something is going on.We have ways of talking,walking,sitting and standing and they all say something about us,and whatever is happening on the inside can be reflected on the outside.
[4]By becoming more aware of this body language and understanding what it might mean,you can learn to read people more easily.This puts you in a better position to communicate effectively with them.What’s more, by increasing your understanding of others,you can also become more aware of the messages that you convey to them.
[5] There are times when we send mixed messages—we say one thing yet our body language reveals something different.This non-verbal language will affect how we act and react to others,and how they react to us.Therefore,in order to communicate more effectively,we should learn the signs and signals of body language correctly.What is the best title for the passage?

Being happy means having a feeling of pleasure, for example, something good has happened to you or you are very satisfied with your life. Usually, many people find happiness from their work, family and their friends, but many also find happiness from some kinds of material things, or even spiritual(精神的) things.
Being happy is good for your life. You’ll feel healthy both physically and emotionally. It also can increase your self-confidence, and make you enjoy your life better. Indirectly, your happiness can infect(感染)others. So you should try to feel happy most of the time in your life. And here are some ways that can lead you to the path of happiness.
As soon as you wake up, think about something that can make you smile. It can be anything, such as a funny incident yesterday or jokes from your friends. It’s a good beginning to start your day.
Be a person who can manage his or her feelings. Maybe you’ll have a good or bad feeling at any given moment, but what you need to realize is that it is just a feeling, and you have the power to change it. So, if you’re feeling bad, find the right way to stop the feeling as soon as possible.
Be a person who is easy to forgive (原谅). Often you’ll feel angry with someone at something, but when you forgive him or her, you’ll be able to forget it and feel less stressed.
Remember the good things in your life and appreciate them. You certainly have a lot of good things in your life, and you need to remember them to increase your love for your life.
