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.
【32】
选项 A、other than
B、rather than
C、better than
D、less than
答案B
解析 本题考查上下文理解。由上文“…he looks at you more often than is usual with glances a little longer than the normal”可推断，对方是对你而不是对谈话的主题感兴趣，因此正确答案应选B rather than“而不是”，其他选项other than“不同于，除了”，better than“比……好”和less than“比……少”，均与上文不符合。
