问题     Proper street behavior in the United States requires a nice balance of attention and inattention. You are supposed to look at a【C1】just enough to show that you are【C2】of his presence. If you look too little, you appear haughty (目中无人的) ox furtive (诡秘的),【C3】much and you are inquisitive. Usually what happens is that people【C4】each other until they are about eight feet【C5】. at which point both cast down their eyes. Sociologist Erving Goffman【C6】this as "a kind of dimming of lights".
    Much of eye behavior is so【C7】that we react to it only on the intuitive level. The next time you have a【C8】with someone who makes you feel liked, notice what he does with his eyes.【C9】are he looks at you more often than is usual with【C10】a little longer than the normal. You interpret this as a sign — a polite one —【C11】he is interested in you as a person【C12】just in the topic of conversation. Probably you also feel that he is both【C13】and sincere.
    All this has been demonstrated in elaborate【C14】. Subjects sit and talk in the psychologists’ laboratory,【C15】of the fact that their eye behavior is being【C16】from a one way vision screen. In one fairly typical experiment,【C17】were induced to cheat while performing a task, then were【C18】and observed. It was found that those who had【C19】met the interviewer’s eyes less often than was【C20】, an indication that "shifty eyes" — to use the mystery writers stock phrase — can actually be a tip off to an attempt to deceive or to feelings of guilt.
【C9】
选项 A、Chances
B、Opportunities
C、Expectations
D、Possibilities
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。根据句意，本空所填词应有“可能性”之意，B)Opportunities“机会”和C)Expectations“期望，预料”在意思上均不符合语义，可排除。D)Possibilities意为“可能性”，但常以单数形式出现在There is possibility that…句型中。A)Chances除表示“机会”外，还可以表示“可能性”，且可用于以下句型There is a／the chance that…和Chances are…故答案为A)。
