We usually interpret someone looking us straight in the eye during an interaction as a sign of trustworthiness. 1.This is at least the case in the Western world.
But research is increasingly challenging this standard view. 2. In a competitive environment where a negotiation is taking place, looking at another person directly in the eye can be a sign of competition and unkindness, rather than kindness.
While folk wisdom tells us eye contact is a sign of honesty and trustworthiness, these findings were not a surprise. Animals have direct eye contact not before engaging in kind behaviors but rather immediately before an attack. 3. We humans seem to be carrying on this tradition by looking our opponent directly in the eye before we "attack".
What does this mean for the work place? In a competitive business environment, when taking part in negotiations or a business deal, for example, be aware that people who look you directly in the eye may not be as friendly as you think. 4. In many Asian cultures, for example, looking a person of higher status in the eye is a sign of disrespect, while looking away signals respect.
5. And this must be fully understood. This means they most likely don't apply to social environments, such as spending time with friends, family or loved ones. In these cases, direct eye contact, often referred to as a "gaze", can still be a sign of intimacy（亲密）and kindness.
A.This may help you understand eye contact much better.
B.Eye contact is a sign of challenge and threat from another.
C.The study led by Jennifer Jordan shows quite the opposite.
D.All the experiments took place in a competitive environment.
E.We use eye contact as a marker of intimacy and straightforwardness.
F.Actually it can be rather upsetting when someone avoids eye contact.
G.If you want to express honesty and reliability, direct eye contact may indicate the opposite.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time in which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
1.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .
A. the length of a group of words.
B. lighting and tiredness.
C. one’s familiarity with the text.
D. one’s purpose in reading.
2.The author may believe that reading ______.
A. demands an deeply-participating mind.
B. demands more mind than eyes.
C. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation.
D. requires a reader to see words more quickly.
3.What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?
A. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.
B. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.
C. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.
D. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see or comprehend words.
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.
B. The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.
C. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.
D. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.
5.The tune of the author in writing this article is ________.
A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. critical D. neutral
