list A~F to fit into each ofthe numbered gaps. There is one paragraph which does

A.There are different formulas for the exchange of glances
depending on where the meeting takes place.
B.In the
subway or bus where long rides in very close circumstances are a necessity, we
may be hard put to find some way of not staring. We sneak glances, but look away
before our eyes can lock. If we look with an unfocused glance that misses the
eyes and settles on the head.the mouth, the body for any place but the eyes is
an acceptable looking spot for the unfocused glance.
C.Actually in this way we are saying, in body language, “I know you are
there, ”and a moment later we add, “But I would not dream of intruding on your
privacy. ”
D.It is the technique we use for any unusual
situation where too long a stare would be embarrassing. When we see an
interracial couple, we also use this technique. We might use it when we see a
man with an unusual beard, with extra longhair, with outlandish clothes, or a
girl with a minimal miniskirt may attract this look-and-away.
E.For this passing encounter Dr. Erving Goffman in behavior in public
places says that the quick look and the lowering ofthe eyes is body language
for, “I trust you. I am not afraid of you. ”
F.Sometimes the
rules are hard to follow, particularly if one of the two people wears dark
glasses.
With unfamiliar human beings, when we
acknowledge their humanness, we must avoid staring at them, and yet we must also
avoid ignoring them. To make them into people rather than objects, we use a
deliberate and polite inattention. We look at them long enough to, make it quite
clear that we see them, and then we immediately look away.
66.______
The important thing in such an exchange is that
we do not catch the eye of one whom we are recognizing as a person. We look at
him without locking glances, and then we immediately look away. Recognition is
not permitted.
67.______
If you pass
someone in the street, you may eye the oncoming person until you are about eight
feet apart, then you must look away as you pass. Before the eight-foot distance
is reached, each will signal in which direction he will pass. This is done with
a brief look in that direction. Each will veer slightly and the passing is done
smoothly.
68.______
To strengthen this
signal, you look directly at the other's face before looking away.
69.______
It becomes impossible to
discover just what they are doing. Are they looking at you too long, too
intently? Are they looking at you at all? The person wearing the glasses feels
protected and assumes that he can stare without being noticed in his staring.
However, this is a self-deception. To the other person, dark glasses seem to
indicate that the wearer is always staring at him.
We
often use this look-away technique when we meet famous people. We want to assure
them we are respecting their privacy and that we would not dream of staring at
them. The same is true of the crippled or physically handicapped. We look brief
and then look away before the stare can be said to be a stare.
70.______
Of course, the opposite is also true. If we
wish to put a person down, we may do so by staring longer than is acceptably
polite. Instead of dropping our gazes when we lock glances, we continue to
stare. The person who disapproves of interracial marriages or dating will stare
rudely at the interracial couple. If he dislikes long hair, short dresses, or
beards, he may show it with a longer-than-acceptable stare.
