Hold the glance for the second longer, and you have made a different statement.Hold it for three seconds, and the meaning has changed again.For every social situation, there is a Dennissible time that you can hold a persons gaze without being intimate, rude or aggre- ssive.If you are on an elevator, what gaze.time are you permitted?To answer this question, consider what you typically d0.You are likely to give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean flo threat.Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to give a signal telling others you want to be left alone.So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erv-ing Goffrnan callsa dimming of the lightsyou look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passengers eyes.Should you break the rule against staring at a stran-ger 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 are you telling another person?Much depends on the person and situation, For instance, a man and woman communicate interest in this matter.They typieally gaze at each other for about three seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for three seconds, before letting their eyes meet again.But-if one man gives another man a 3-secondplus stare, he signalsI know you, I am interested in you, oryou look peculiar and I am CUriOUS about you.This type of state ohen produces hostile feelings.26.

is not nap friendly.In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, thereS even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep.Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work.To quote a proverb：Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.Wrong.The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.We have to totally change onr attitude toward napping.says Dr.William Dement of Stanford University, the god-father of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified anAmerican sleep debtwhich one member said was as important as the national debt.The commission was concerned about the danger, of sleepiness：people causing industrial accident or falling asleep while driving.This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House.According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.We seem to havea mid-afternoon quiet phase(also calleda secondary sleep gate).Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make US refreshed.Clearly, we were born to nap.We, Superstars of Snooze, dont nap to replace the lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.Rather, wesnackon sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feellike it.I myself have napped in buses, ears, planes and on boats;on floors and beds;and in libraries, Offices and museums.31 It is commonly accepted in American
