问题      Proper street behavior in the United States requires a nice balance of attention and inattention. You are supposed to look at a  【21】______    just enough to show that you’re  【22】______    of his presence. If you look too little, you appear arrogant or furtive (鬼鬼祟祟的), too much,  【23】______    you’re inquisitive. Usually what happens is that people  【24】______    each other until they are about eight feet  【25】______   , at which point both cast down their eyes. Sociologist Dr. Erving Goffman  【26】______    this as "a kind of dimming of lights."
     Much of eye behavior is so  【27】______    that we react to it only on the intuitive level. The next time you have a  【28】______    with someone who makes you feel liked, notice what he does with his eyes.  【29】______    are he looks at you more often than is usual with  【30】______    a little longer than the normal. You interpret this as a sign of a polite one  【31】______    he is interested in you as a person  【32】______    just in the topic of conversation. Probably you also feel that he is both  【33】______    and sincere.
     All this has been demonstrated in elaborate  【34】______   . Subjects sit and talk in the psychologist’s laboratory,  【35】______    of the fact that their eye behavior is being  【36】______    from a one-way vision screen. In one fairly typical experiment,  【37】______    were induced to cheat while performing a task, then were  【38】______    and observed. It was found that those who had  【39】______    met the interviewer’s eyes less often than was  【40】______   , an indication that "shifty eyes" to use the mystery writers’ stock phrase can actually be a tip-off to an attempt to deceive or to feelings of guilt.
