7B - Actors acting - READING & LISTENING

a.

b.

1. The man wasn’t being questioned one of the main suspects, because he had an alibi which was credible.

2. The agent asked him the question about four different murder weapons, because one of the weapons had actually been used in the crime, but the information about weapon had been kept from the public and only murderer knew which one. The agent wanted t observe his reaction.

3. When the agent mentioned the ice pick, the man’s eyelids came down hard, and stayed down until the next weapon was named. From that moment the man became the chief suspect.

4. He has caught many criminals in his 25-year career, because he can read people. In his book he teaches us how to decipher other people’s non-verbal behavior, and thus to enable us to interact with them more successfully.

5. He mentioned two kinds of signs, verbal and non-verbal, e.g. facial expressions, gestures.

6. Many of us have not learnt to spot because we haven’t been trained to look for them.
