阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

In many Asian, African and Latin American cultures, 【小题1】 (extend) eye contact is impolite and it is thought of 【小题2】 an offensive or a challenge of authority. It 【小题3】 (consider) politer to have brief eye contact, especially between people of different 【小题4】 (society) status (like a student and a teacher, or a child and his elder relatives). For example, if a Japanese woman avoids 【小题5】 (look) someone in the eye, she is not showing a lack of interest nor is she showing a lack of confidence. Instead, she is being polite, respectful and appropriate according to her culture. So in many of these cultures, you should take care of what kind of eye contact you initiate with those who are your 【小题6】 (superior) or in authority over you, so that you are not thought to be disrespectful or rude. As you can see, it is vital for you 【小题7】 (know) what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture.

Before you travel, you can either look up relevant information in your local public library 【小题8】 check out a book about the culture of the country you plan to visit in a bookstore. Learn how to make use of eye contact and other body language 【小题9】 (flexible) so that you are perceived to be polite, and so that you can better connect with people 【小题10】 are foreign to you!
