| 第4题：Passage 2In his typicallyAmerican open style of communication, Mr. Hayes confronted Isabeta about not looking at him. Reluctantly, she explained why.As a newcomer from Mexico, she had been taught to avoid eye contact as a mark of respect to authority figures, teachers, employers, parents. Mr. Hayes did not know this. He then informed her that mostAmericans interpret lack of eye contact as disrespect and deviousness. Ultimately, he convinced Isabela to try and change her habit, which she slowly diD、People from manyAsian, LatinAmerican, andCaribbean cultures also avoid eye contact as a sign of respect. ManyAfricanAmericans, especially from the South, observe this custom, too. A、master’s thesis by SamuelAvoian, a graduate student atCentral Missouri State University, tells how misinterpreting eye-contact customs can have a negative impact when white football coaches recruitAfricanAmerican players for the teams. He reports that, when speaking, white communicators usually look away from the listener, only periodically glancing at them. They do the opposite when listening they are expected to look at the speaker all the time. ManyAfricanAmericans communicate in an opposite way. When speaking, they tend to constantly stare at the listener; when listening, they mostly look away. Therefore, if white sports recruiters are not informed about these significant differences, they can be misled about interest and attentiveness when interviewing prospectiveAfricanAmerican ball players. In multiculturalAmerica, issues of’Eye contact have brought about social conflicts of two different kinds in many urban centers, non-Korean customers became angry when Korean shopkeepers did not look at them directly. The customers translated the lack of eye contact as a sign of disrespect, a habit blamed for contributing to the open confrontation raking place between someAsians andAfricanAmericans in New York, Texas, andCaliforni A、Many teachers too have provided stories about classroom conflicts based on their misunderstandingAsian and LatinAmerican children lack of eye contact as being disrespectful. On the other hand, direct eye contact has now taken on a new meaning among the younger generation and across ethnic borders. Particularly in urban centers, when one teenager looks directly at another, this is considered a provocation, sometimes called mad-dogging, and can lead to physical conflict. Mad-dogging has become the source of many campus conflicts. In one high school, it resulted in a fight betweenCambodian newcomers andAfrican-American students. TheCambodians had been staring at the other students merely to learn howAmericans behave, yet the others misinterpreted theCambodians’ intentions and the fight began. Mad-dogging seems to be connected with the avoidance of eye contact as a sign of respect. Thus, in the urban contemporary youth scene, if one looks directly at another, this disrespects, or "disses," that person. Much like the archaic phrase "I demand satisfaction," which became the overture to a duel, mad-dogging may become a prelude to a physical encounter. At the entrances to Universal Studio’s "City Walk" attraction in LosAngeles, they have postedCode ofConduct signs. The second rule warns against "physically over bally threatening any person, fighting, annoying others through noisy or boisterous activities or by unnecessary staring..."When listening to the others, white communicators tend to ______. A、look at the speaker all the time B．glance at the speaker periodically C．look away from the speaker D．stare at the speaker |
