If the first person (47)______ the other’s space again, the other will back up again. The person who finds himself or herself backing up is trying to increase the distance of the (48)______ zone. The person closing in is trying to decrease the distance. Most likely (49)______ the one nor the other is fully aware of what is going on.
    In the 1960s, American anthropologist Edward T. Hall was a pioneer in study of human (50)______ use of space. His field of study became known as proxemics(空间关系学). Hall said that personal space for Americans can be defined as having four (51)______ zones: the (52)______ zone with-in 18 inches of your body for whispering and embracing; personal zone of 18 inches to four feet, for talking with close friends; social zone of four to 10 feet, for talking with (53)______; and the social zone of 10 to 25 feet, for talking to strangers or to a group.
    Historians say that our (54)______ of personal space began with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. In cities such as London and New York, people of different social and economic classes were suddenly crammed together, so they (55)______ developed a commonly understood rule of polite behavior and space to restrict the area around them.
    People exhibit nonverbal messages of (56)______ when their zones are violated. Invaded people might pull at their hair, become rigid, or even become angry. As Hall noted in his work, a comfortable conversation needs to include the range of human personal space.
