Body language is a vital form of communication In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures Take for example, eye movement In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her In other cultures the opposite is true Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance In North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America Two North Americans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them Gestures are often used to communicate We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move any other part of the body – to show what we want to say However, this does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings Very often we find that the same gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country An example of a gesture that could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some places it communicates ridicule The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully (Adapted from "Reading

such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today's gas stations Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today
