15、Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too clo to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why tho things make you uncomfortable?
It's all about personal space, which means not only the imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the ns. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯)when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水)makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger desire(渴望)to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire to have space to themlves. In a survey by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra rvice, they would rather have larger ats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner ats will usually be taken first .becau they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preference(偏好)for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的)cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing clo to each other.
1．Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?
A．A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.
B．A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.
C．A person who hears strange nois when reading at home.
D．A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting clo to him.
2．What can we know from the survey by Trip Advisor?
A．People need smaller personal .pace in recent times than before.
