2016年12月英语六级阅读理解100篇：眼睛的语言
Eye LanguageJust back from a tour of several Arabian Gulf1 countries, a woman recalls
how jumpy she felt talking to men there. “Not because of what they said, ”she
explains,“ but what they did with their eyes. ”Instead of the occasional blink,
Arabs lowered their lids so slowly and languorously that she was convinced they
were falling asleep. In Japan eye contact is a key to the way you feel about
someone. And the less of it,the better. What a Westerner considers an honest
look in the eye , the Oriental takes as a lack of respect and a personal
affront. Even when shaking hands or bowing — and especially when conversing6 —
only an occasional glance into the other person’s face is considered polite. The
rest of the time , great attention should be paid to fingertips, desktops,and
the warp and woof of the carpet.“Always keep your shoes shined in Tokyo,
”advises an electronics representative who has spent several days there .“You
can bet a lot of Japanese you meet will have their eyeson them. ”
