38、a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a persons gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an

39、elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do.

48、need them. We have to totally change our attitude toward napping”, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.

In France good manners require that on arriving at a business meeti

56、ng a manager shakes hands with everyone present. This can be a demanding task and, in a crowded room, may require gymnastic ability if the farthest hand is to be reached. Handshaking is almost as popular in other countries including Germany, Belgium and Italy. But Northern Europeans, such as the Bri

57、tish and Scandinavians, are not quite so fond of physical demonstrations of friendliness. In Europe the most common challenge is not the content of the food, but the way you behave as you chat.
