Question

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s stare without being friendly, rude, or aggressive. If you are on a lift, what stare-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contacts. That is what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
　　If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

　　A. every glance has its significance
　　B. a glance carries more meaning than words
　　C. a stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
　　D. staring at a person is an expression of interest
　　61. If you want to be left alone on a lift the best thing to do is ______.
　　A. to look into another passenger’s eyes
　　B. to keep a distance from other passengers
　　C. to avoid eye contacts with other passengers
　　D. to signal you don’t mean to do harm to anyone
　　62. By “a dimming of the lights”, Erving Goffiman means ______.
　　A. closing one’s eyes 　　　　　　　　B. turning off the lights
　　C. stopping glancing at others 　　　　D. reducing stare-time to the minimum
　　63. The passage mainly discusses ______.
　　A. the limitations of eye contacts

Answer 1

60.A;61.C;62.C;63.D.

　　60．選A。文章僅僅談?wù)摿四抗饨佑|的含義，并未涉及與語言表達(dá)的對(duì)比，因此B不對(duì)。文中只提到a stare longer than 3 seconds is different而沒提到 unacceptable，所以C不對(duì)。文中提到Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different statement. Hold it for seconds, and the meaning has changed again；即staring at a person的含義因時(shí)間長短而不同；而且Much depends on the person and the situation，也因人、場合的不同而不同，并非僅僅代表有興趣。所以D不對(duì)。
61．選C。從下文cut off eye contacts可知。
62．選C。從上文you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So 　　　you cut off eye contacts中的cut off eye contacts可知。
63．選D。A選項(xiàng)意思為“目光接觸的局限/不足”。B選項(xiàng)意思是“通過目光接觸進(jìn)行的思想交流”。而本文中要講的是目光接觸所代表的含義而非主動(dòng)的思想交流。C選項(xiàng)意思是“人們?nèi)粘Ｉ�活中的不同情境中的恰�?dāng)行為”。與本文中心不符。D選項(xiàng)意思是“目光交流在人與人的交流中的作用。”通過本文所舉的例子可以看出D正確。
