All of us communicate with one another nonverbally (不使用语言地), as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not aware of it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a chair. In recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language. One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situation. Researchers who are engaged in the study are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations (解释), too. Another example, when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority (权威) ; it can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture. Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words. According to the passage, you make an American feel uncomfortable if you ______.

A. meet his eyes
B. avoid meeting his eyes
C. stare into his eyes for one second
D. look into his eyes for a long time

The number of rooms in their hotel ______ (和我们酒店的房间数量一样多).

To understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand "the point". Americans mention it often. "Let’s get right to the point," "My point is ..." "What’s the point of all this" The "point" is the idea or piece of information that Americans suppose should be at the center of people’s thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to "make their points clear", meaning that they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea they wish to express. People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating "the point" clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend, "I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit," a Japanese might say, "Maybe this other coat would look even better than the one you have on." Americans value a person who "gets right to the point". Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude. The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness (模糊) and ambiguity. The precision and directness Americans associate with "the point" cannot be achieved in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans. According to the passage, Americans expect speakers and writers to ______.

A. be clear about their main ideas
B. give as much information as possible
C. express their personal views
D. be honest about their true feelings
