Ugly Is Only Skin-deep
It may not be much to look at. But beneath that humble exterior beats an air-cooled engine. It won’t boil over and ruin your piston rings. It won’t freeze over and ruin your life. It’s in the back of the car for better traction on snow and sand. And it will give you about 29 miles to a gallon of gas.
After a while you get to like so much about the VW, you even get to like what it looks like.
You find that there’s enough legroom for almost anybody’s legs. Enough headroom for almost anybody’s head. With a hat on it. Snug-fitting bucket seats. Doors that close so well you can hardly close them. They’re so airtight, it’s better to open the window a crack first!
Those plain wheels are each suspended independently. So when a bump makes one wheel bounce, the bounce doesn’t make the other wheel bump. It’s things like you pay the ＄1585 for, when you buy a VW. The ugliness doesn’t add a thing to the cost of the car.
That’s the beauty of it.
What will happen when a bump makes one wheel bounce
The bounce doesn’t make the（）bump.

【单选题】Non-verbal communication（）. A．always expresses the message precisely B．usually doesn’t match the language C．sometimes isolates a meaning D．often shows the speaker’s true emotions

All of us communicate with one another verbally (口头的) as well as non-verbally. Most of the time we are not aware that we’re doing it. We wave a hand, meet someone else’s eyes or look away, shift positions in a chair. We make these movements unconsciously. But researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent (一致的) and comprehensible as language.

Every culture has its body language. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, Americans are likely to end a statement with a lowering of the eyelids. They conclude a question with a lift of the hand or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. Your sex, ethnic background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Nevertheless, you move and gesture within a certain idiom.

Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often it’s a case of "not what he said but the way he said it."

Experts in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. The expert looks for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture.
