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 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 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 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 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 situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this matter. 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 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.
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that________.
选项
A、every glance has its significance
B、staring at a person is an expression of interest
C、a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D、a glance conveys more meaning than words
答案
A
解析
第一段第二、三句“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.”。本题为细节推断题。由定位句可知,每次眼神交流的时间不同,表达的意思就不同。故选A。
