爱情是一部电话机，渴望它响起时，它却总是悄无声息；不经心留意时，它又叮铃铃地响起。因此，我们经常错过另一端传来的温馨的甜蜜。爱情这部电话机通常不是程控的，也不是直拨的。并非纯粹说声“喂”便可立即得到回音，更不是一个电话就能深深打动你爱人的心。它通常需要人工转换，你得耐心等待。命运是这部电话的接线员，她总是缺乏责任心，又爱搞恶作剧，或许有意无意地捉弄你一生。 Writing Project Task One

当美国人在谈话时，他们期望别人对其所讲的内容有所响应。对他们来说，有礼貌的谈话者应该靠表现出的惊喜、讨厌、吃惊或悲哀的表情来与别人进行心灵的沟通。人们会用怀疑的眼光看待将感情隐藏于毫无表情的、带着一张“扑克脸”的人。美国人在谈话中也会以扬眉、点头、有礼貌的微笑以及保持适度的目光接触来表示他们对谈话者的注意。然而在某些文化中，人们认为直接的凝视是不礼貌或是一种威胁；美国人则认为这是真挚诚恳的表现。假如一个人不用正眼看你，美国人可能会觉得你应该对他的动机起疑，或者假设他不喜欢你。不过，就对目光接触的关注而言，美国人也认为盯着看人——特别是盯着看陌生人——是不礼貌的。
考虑到非言语交际的影响，我们其实从未真正地停止过沟通。我们如何走路、站立、如何使用双手、如何举手投足、如何表现情绪等都在向他人传递信息。这也就是为什么像俗语所说的“看一个人就像读一本书一样。”假如你读懂了一个人，那么就像在那拥挤房间中的男孩及女孩后来发现的一样，也许一个爱情故事由此诞生。 Writing Project Task One
