4. express
【課文原句】… they also express their feelings using unspoken “language” through keeping physical distance, actions or posture. (p26)
【名師點撥】express vt.意為“表達；表示”。文中express their feelings 意為“表達他們的感情”；express oneself用于表達自己的意思、思想或情感。如：
no words can express my thanks to your help.
he can express himself in clear english now after five years' hard learning.
【知識拓展】express作名詞講時，表示“快車；快遞；快件”。如：
the no. 102 special express to beijing 開往北京的102次特快
5. avoid
【課文原句】it is an interesting study and can help you avoid difficulty in communication. (p26)
【名師點撥】avoid vt. 表示“避開；避免”，avoid difficulty in communication意思是“避免交際上的困難”。avoid后接名詞、代詞或動詞-ing形式。如：
why are you trying to avoid that boy?
i crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and ran towards me.
6. be likely to
【課文原句】people from places like spain, italy or south american countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. (p26)
【名師點撥】likely作形容詞，指“可能發生某事”，后可接不定式或從句。be likely to意為“很可能……；有希望……”。如：
do remind me because i'm likely to forget.
it's quite likely that we'll be in spain this time next year.
they are likely to refuse your invitation.
【知識拓展】likely, possible, probable都含有“可能的”的意思，但也有差異：
likely指從表面跡象來看很有可能。如:
look at the black clouds. it is likely to rain tonight.
possible指由于有適當的條件和方法，某事可能發生或做到，強調“客觀上有可能”, 但常含有“實際希望很小”的意思。如:
it is possible to go to the moon now.
probable語氣比 possible強，“可能性”最大，指有根據、合情理、值得相信的事物，帶有“大概、很可能”的意思。如:
i don't think the story is probable.
7. at ease
【課文原句】a smile is the universal facial expression — it is intended to put people at ease. (p29)
【名師點撥】at ease是個固定詞組，意思是“處在舒適、自由自在的狀態下”。本句中put people at ease意為“使人自由自在；不拘束”。如：
her mind was at ease, knowing that the children were safe.
【知識拓展】(1) ease作名詞講時，表示“安逸；安心；不費力；悠閑”。如：
he leads a life of ease. (= he leads an easy life.)
(2) ease 作動詞講時，表示“解除；減輕（痛苦、憂愁或煩惱）”。如：
the doctor gave him some painkillers to ease the pain.
