Questiоns 10 - 14 аre bаsed оn the fоllowing pаssage In the United States, if you live next door to someone, you are almost automatically expected to befriendly and to interact with that person. It seems so natural that we probably don't even consider that this is a cultural expectation not shared by all cultures. In Japan, however, the fact that your house is next to another's does not imply that you should become close or visit each other. Consider, therefore, the situation in which a Japanese buys a house next to an American. The Japanese may well see the American as overly familiar and as taking friendship for granted. The American may see the Japanese as distant, unfriendly, and unneighborly. Yet, each person is merely acting according to the expectations of his or her own culture. --DeVito, Essentials of Human Communication, 3rd edition, 1999, p. 129 11. The main idea is

Meeting someone's glance with your eyes is usually a sign of involvement, whereas looking away often signals a desire to avoid contact. This is whysolicitors on the street – panhandlers (beggars), salespeople, petitioners -- try to catch our eye. Once they've managed to establish contact with a glance, it becomes harder for the approached person to draw away. Most of us remember trying to avoid a question we didn't understand by glancing away from the teacher. At times like these we usually became very interested in our textbooks, fingernails, the clock -- anything but the teacher's stare. Of course, the teacher always seemed to know the meaning of this nonverbal behavior, and ended up calling on those of us who signaled our uncertainty. Another kind of message the eyes communicate is a positive or negative attitude. When someoneglances toward us with the proper facial expression, we get a clear message that the looker is interested in us -- hence the expression "making eyes." At the same time, when our long glances toward someone else are avoided by that person, we can be pretty sure that the other person isn't as interested in us as we are in him or her. (Of course, there are all sorts of courtship games in which the receiver of a glance pretends not to notice any message by glancing away, yet signals interest with some other part of the body.) The eyes communicate both dominance and submission. We've all played the game of trying to staresomebody down, and in real life there are also times when downcast eyes are a sign of giving in. In somereligious orders, for example, subordinate members are expected to keep their eyes downcast when addressing a superior. 1. What is the topic of this selection?
