　　Proper street behavior in the United States requires a nice balance of attention and inattention. You are supposed to look at a 1 just enough to show that you’re 2 of his presence. If you look too little, you appear haughty (目中無人的) or furtive (詭秘的), too much 3 you’re inquisitive. Usually what happens is that people 4 each other until they are about eight feet 5 , at which point both cast down their eyes. Sociologist Erving Goffman 6 this as “a kind of dimming of lights.”

　　Much of eye behavior is so 7 that we react to it only on the intuitive level. The next time you have a 8 with someone who makes you feel liked, notice what he does with his eyes. 9 are he looks at you more often than is usual with 10 a little longer than the normal. You interpret this as a sign—a polite one—31 he is interested in you as a person 12 just in the topic of conversation. Probably you also feel that he is both 13 and sincere.

　　All this has been demonstrated in elaborate 14 . Subjects sit and talk in the psychologist’s laboratory, 15 of the fact that their eye behavior is being 16 from a one-way vision screen. In one fairly typical experiment, 17 were induced to cheat while performing a task, then were 18 and observed. It was found that those who had 19 met the interviewer’s eyes less often than was 20 , an indication that “shifty eyes” —to u se the mystery writers’ stock phrase—can actually be a tip-off to an attempt to deceive or to feelings of guilt.
