　　However, Americans are careful about where and when to __3__ meet other’s eye.

　　參考答案及解析：

　　1.把produce改為produces。

　　本句中兩個(gè)主語(yǔ)meeting和failing to meet another person’s eye用or連接，這時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該采取就近原則，與最相鄰的主語(yǔ)一致。

　　2.把a(bǔ)t改為into。

　　此處的動(dòng)作應(yīng)該是look into(注視)，而不是一般的“看”(look at)。

　　3.把where改為how。

　　上下文介紹的是目光交流的方式方法。

　　4.把a(bǔ)fter改為when/if。

　　5.在accused前面加上the。

　　intimidate(脅迫)是一個(gè)及物動(dòng)詞，后面不能只接形容詞，此處應(yīng)該加上定冠詞，與accused構(gòu)成名詞短語(yǔ)，表示一類人，即“被告”。本句的意思是：

　　例如，只要運(yùn)用目光，男人就可以讓女人很自在或者不舒服地感覺(jué)到他的存在;而警察或法官的長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的注視可以威嚇被告。

　　6.刪除being。

　　7.把such改為so。

　　8.把other改為another。

　　表示不定指代的“一個(gè)或者另一個(gè)”應(yīng)該用one and/or another。

　　9.把inattentive改為attentive。

　　10.在control前面加上to。

　　control the talking pace and time 應(yīng)該和to indicate a change of topic并列，作為conversational traffic signal 的定語(yǔ)，也要用動(dòng)詞不定式。
