Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby’ s life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother’ s back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other countries. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode or decode meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the " proper place to focus one’ s gaze during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of one’ s conversation partner. "
The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined; speakers make contact with the eyes of their listeners for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listeners or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses; there may be a sort a of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.
According to the passage, a conversation between two Americans may break down due to
选项
A、one temporarily glancing away from the other
B、eye contact of more than one second
C、improperly-timed ceasing of eye contact
D、constant adjustment of eye contact
答案
C
解析
第二段第三句提到,“当说话者重新把目光转到听话者时,听话者有没有在同时也注视着说话者对说话者而言是十分重要的。因为,如果此时听话者没有看着说话者,说话者会认为听话者不感兴趣,或者会暂停说话直到听话者重新注视说话者,或者说话者会结束谈话”。由此可看出,交谈中不合时宜的目光转移可能会造成谈话的中止。选项C正确。
