3、 attacking, in which he soon saw as red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense.

To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You are very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量) and to assure them that
11、you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman( 1963 ) calls “a dimming of the lights“. You look down at the floor, at the
12、 indicator lights, anywhere but into another passengers eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself. If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds, what
13、 are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner.

29、f strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.
