问题     All of us communicate with one another nonverbally(不使用语言地), as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not aware that we are doing it. We gesture with elbows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a chair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.
    One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.
    Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations(解释), too. Another example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect: it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority: it can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.
    Communications between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.
According to the passage, you make an American person feel uncomfortable if you______.
选项 A、meet his eyes
B、avoid meeting his eyes
C、stare into his eyes for one second
D、look into his eyes for a long time
答案D
解析 推理判断题。本题问根据本文如果你……就会弄得美国人感到不自在。依据文章第二节第二句和第三句：美国人对于如何进行和何时彼此目光接触是很讲究的。当我们进行一般性交谈时，每次目光相遇只会延续一秒钟左右，我们中的一方或者双方就会将目光移开。由这两句我们很容易判断出D显然违背了社交习惯，故选D。其它选项都是符合社交习惯的，因而不会使美国人感到不自在，自然就不能选为答案。
