解析：

(1)	本文主要描述了美国人的目光交流．
(2)	“在正常的谈话中，美国人的目光接触只持续一秒钟左右，然后，眼光就移开．”
(3)	应该是“盯着对方的眼睛看”．
(4)	所以美国人一般避免这种眼神．这里需要用表示因果关系的副词，故选C．
(5)	从后面得知，“观看路人，既不能太多，也不能太少，要保持注意和不注意的动态平衡”．
(6)	be supposed to do表示“应该”之意．
(7)	后一句用了much，当然这一句应用little．
(8)	这是一个主语从句，从句中缺少主语，故用what．
(9)	按常识判断，应用feet比较符合情理．
(10)	“听者应该盯着说话人．”
(11)	英国人边听边眨眼睛，以示对所听内容感兴趣．
(12)	眨眼睛对美国人来说并不意味着什么．
(13)	从后面所举例子来看，应选murmur比较适合．
(14)	住在国外的美国人有时觉得，当地人的目光实在是难以理喻．
(15)	经常听到这样的抱怨．
(16)	因为老是盯着人看，所以那些人真是太烦人了．
(17)	从上到下打量人．
(18)	他们这样看“我”，“我”老是想，我是不是外表有什么不得体的地方，uncombed(未梳头发的)比较合适．
(20)	“其他人”是泛指的，故用others．
