03经典背诵
Eye Contact目光接触
Making eye contact with others (or avoiding eye contact) is an important form of nonverbal communication.In Western countries， for example， a moderate level of eye contact during conversation is a way of communicating friendliness or interest， whereas too much eye contact(staring) is considered rude， and lack of eye contact is impolite.Eye contact is also used in communication as a signal： for example， ****** eye contact with the other person as you finish a sentence often means， “Now it's your turn to speak.”
Again， there are major cultural differences.Arabs， Latinos， Indians and Pakistanis all have customs of longer eye contact， whereas Africans and East Asians interpret eye contact as expressing anger or hate and avoid it.The situation is further complicated by the fact that most cultures have different habits about eye contact depending on the gender， status， and so on of those involved.
With eye contact， as with other areas of nonverbal commnunication， the ability to observe the behavior of others， to be mindful of it and to reflect on it， and to be skilled at modifying one's own behavior in response， is a key factor of cultural intelligence.
用眼神与其他人接触（或避免眼神接触）是一种非语言沟通的重要形式。在西方国家，例如：在谈话中，一个温和的眼神接触是一种友善和有益的沟通方式；相反， 过多的眼神接触（凝视）被认为是粗鲁的；缺乏眼神接触是不礼貌的。眼神接触也被用作交流的信号：例如，当你说完一句话，与他人做一个眼神接触往往意味着， “现在轮到你发言。”
同样，也有一些重大的文化差异。阿拉伯人，拉丁美洲人，印度人，巴基斯坦人，所有这些人都有较长的目光接触习惯，而非洲人和东亚人认为是愤怒或仇恨的表现 ，所以避免眼神接触。这种情形被事实进一步复杂化，那就是大多数文化有不同的眼神接触习惯，这取决于性别、地位等所有包含在内的东西。
眼神接触，如同其他部位的非语言沟通，这种观察别人行各能能力，关注予以思考，并修正自己的行为作为回应，正是文化智商中的关键因素。
