7．Exchange a glance with someone，and then look away．Do you realize that you have made a statement？Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different situation，there is a permissible time that you can hold a person's stare without being unfriendly，rude，or aggressive．If you are on a lift，what stare-time are you permitted？To answer this question，consider what you typically do．You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm．Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction，you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone．So you cut off eye contact-what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls"a dimming（变暗） of the lights"．You look down at the floor，at the indicator（指示） lights，anywhere but into another passenger's eyes．Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift，you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable，and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself．
If you hold eye contact for more than 3seconds，what are you telling another person？Much depends on the person and the situation．For instance，a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner．They stare at each other for about 3seconds at a time，and then drop their eyes down for 3seconds，before letting their eyes meet again．But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare，he signals，"I know you"，"I am interested in you"or"You look peculiar（奇怪） and I am curious about you"．This type of stare often produces hostile（敌意的） feelings．

解答 33-35 BBA
33．B 推理判断题．根据第一段最后一句Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift，you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable，and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself说明如果你违反了不要长时间盯着一个人看的规则，也就是你长时间盯着一个人看，你会让对方感觉很不舒服，让对方不安．故B正确．
34．B 根据第一段8、9句Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction，you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone．So you cut off eye contact----what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls"a dimming（变暗） of the lights"．如果你想向别人发出信号告诉对方你想独自一人待着，"cut off eye contact-"你就不要和对方有眼神交流，也就是避免和对方有眼神的碰撞．故B正确．
35．A 推理判断题．文章仅仅谈论了目光接触的含义，并未涉及与语言表达的对比，因此B不对．文中只提到a stare longer than 3 seconds is different而没提到 unacceptable，所以C不对．文中提到Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different statement．Hold it for seconds，and the meaning has changed again；即staring at a person的含义因时间长短而不同；而且Much depends on the person and the situation，也因人、场合的不同而不同，并非仅仅代表有兴趣．所以D不对．故答案选A．
