At the same time, Wang Dawei learned about American food and American ways of doing things. He wanted to be friendly. When Bill came to Wang’s house, Dawei told him to keep his shoes on. Later they went out for  dinner. They ate pizza and drank Coke. The next few days, they had breakfast in a coffee shop and ate hamburgers in a fast-food restaurant.

26、Much meaning can be conveyed（传达） with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak．Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not too long．And if he is sensing that he is being stared盯） at，he may feel uncomfortable．

The same is in daily life．If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you．If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry toward other's stare at you that ;way．Eyes do speak，right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite and even rude．But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex．If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn his eyes away from the woman，his purpose is obvious．That is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is admiring her．

However，the normal eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time；in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what the speaker is speaking，to tell him that he is interested．

If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to control you，you will feel uncomfortable．A poor liar（说谎者） usually looks too long at the victim，because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication．

In fact，continuous eye contact only happens between two lovers，who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time，to show feeling that words cannot express．Obviously，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation．

27、   Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eve contact (接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?

It’s all about personal space, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated (侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume (香水) makes you feel angry.

Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire (渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would prefer to have larger seats instead of extra food.

Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.

Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.

Preference (偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin (拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.

【1】The writer mainly________in this article.

【2】Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?

A.A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.

B.A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.

C.A person who hears strange noises when reading at home.

D.A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.

【3】What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?

A.People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.

B.People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.

C.There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’ s needs.

D.Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.

29、One evening, I went out for a walk on the path (小路) near my house with my husband. On my finger was a very special ring with a diamond (钻石) that my grandmother gave me for my 23rd birthday.

politely. I was deeply moved. She could have easily kept the diamond, or sold it, for it’s worth several thousand dollars, but she didn’t.
