问题     Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. So 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 gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-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(打量)and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman( 1963 )calls "a dimming of the lights". You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’ s eye. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
    If you hold eye contact 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 typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man 3-second-plus stare, he signals,"I know yon" ,"I am interested in you, "or " You look peculiar and I am curious about you." This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
The passage mainly discusses ______.
选项 A、the limitations of eye contact
B、the exchange of ideas through eye contact
C、proper behavior in situations
D、the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication
答案D
解析 文章主题题型。纵览全篇，文章第一段指出目光接触因为时间的长短和场合的不同表达不同的意思，还举了乘电梯的例子，讨论如何表达自己的意思和人们的感受。第二段承接第一段的内容，讨论目光接触超过3秒钟在不同情形下的作用。本题中，选项A“目光接触的局限”显然不是文章讨论的范畴。文章讨论的是目光接触本身，而不是the exchange of ideas，所以 B“通过目光接触的思想交流”也不是文章主题的概括。选项C“在不同场合下的恰当举止”范围远比文章讨论的内容大，所以也不对。选项D“目光接触在人际交流中的作用”概括了
