分析：借助文章的结构特点—每段开头都列出了段落中心词，因此借助Arms判断空格1和空格2处应该出现讨论到“胳膊运动”的句子，这样判断C和D是答案。比较D和C：D(你怎样保持你胳膊的姿势表明了你是否对你会见的人有偏见，是否愿意接受他们)是在综述“胳膊的位置的揭示作用”，起着总令全段的作用;而C(外向的人通常胳膊的运动幅度很大， 而内向的人会把胳膊放在身体旁。)是在具体的举例说明，因此判断空格1的答案是D;而空格2的答案是C。

Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. __4__. This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

B。If you are pleased, you usually open your eyes wide and people can notice this.

E。However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.
