Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don't know is that actual communication using mouth accounts for only around 10% (or even less) of all the means to communicate a message. Moreover, you can never determine the honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through mouth do not reflect what people really think or feel. The only way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can "see through" the emotions of other people? For example, you ask a person if he can do an important task. He says "OK". But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, "Is he really willing to do this job?" or "Does he have the confidence to finish this task?" You can't question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. Then what is the final solution? Here are just a few of the magic tricks you're about to discover: *Actions to make someone like or trust you. *How to win in a negotiation . *How to attract the opposite sex using body language. *How to increase your sales using body language. *How to help you find out who is telling a lie. And a lot, lot more! Body language is very easy and fun to learn. With this book, you will make body movements to achieve the success you've always longed for. Do yourself a big favor and get a copy of Body Language Magic. We can learn from the passage that body language is helpful in the following ways EXCEPT _ . A) it makes other people believe you B) it can decide your success C) it makes you better understood D) it shows whether someone is honest

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. An attraction of sport programs for the major U. S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons--the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract made viewers.

Ques: When you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Copenhagen's Bella Sky Hotel, you'll be greeted by soft roses and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beauty products. This is Europe's first hotel floor dedicated entirely to women--and according to the hotel's CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women. "Women's hotel preferences are very different from men's with key priorities being to feel safe and comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?" Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors. It seems that they are helped by the boom in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in 2010, up from approximately 25% in 1991. Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering for women. At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings for their "Duchess Rooms",which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year. The example of the London Dukes Hotel is used to show _ . A) London is known for hotel management B) guests like to experience different hotels C) the new hotel service is very popular D) hotel industry is developing rapidly
