While waiting for a friend in a Washington, D.C. hotel lobby and wanting to be both【S1】______and alone, I had seated myself in a solitary chair outside the normal stream of traffic. In such a setting most Americans follow a role, which can be stated as follows: as soon as a person stops or is seated in a public place, there balloons around him a small【S2】______of privacy which is considered【S3】______. Anyone who enters this zone and says there is intruding.
As I waited in the【S4】______lobby, a stranger walked up to where I was sitting and stood close enough so that not only could I easily touch him but I could even hear him breathing, If the lobby had been crowed with people, I would have understood his【S5】______, but in empty lobby his presence made me very uncomfortable. Feeling annoyed by this intrusion, I moved my body in such a way as to communicate【S6】______. Strangely enough, instead of moving away, my actions seemed to encourage him, because he moved even closer.
Fortunately, a group of people soon arrived whom my tormentor immediately joined. Their【S7】______explained his behavior, for I knew from both speech and【S8】______that they were Arabs. I have not been able to make this【S9】______identification by looking at him when he was alone because he was wearing American clothes.
For the Arab, there is no such thing as【S10】______in public. Public means public. If A is standing on a street comer and B wants his spot, B is within his rights if be does what he can to make A uncomfortable enough to move.
[A] mannerism [I] desert

[C] behavior [K] gestures
