37、 that we express our feelings and attitudes with 55 percent body language, 38 percent tone of voice and only 7 percent actual words. In other words, if I asked you how you were doing and you said “fine”, that word wouldnt mean anything by itself. 2 So, can you tell when people are lying to you? Jan
38、Hargrave says we lie with the right side of our brains, so it is our left hand that tips us off.

These muscles can make 7000 different facial expressions. They can be divided into six kinds: happiness
44、, sadness, anger, surprise, fear and disgust(厌恶).For example, when people think a certain food tastes disgusting, they usually make a funny face.
