15.What canbe learnedfromthetext aboutcivil inattentionA.Civil inattentionhas positiveeffects onsocialinteraction.B.Civil inattentionhelps savefacewhenwevedonesomething wrong.C.Civil inattentionis unlinkedto socialinteraction accordingtoGoffman.D.Civil inattentionisatype ofnormal behaviorwhich wemay feelthreatened.第二节（共5小题;每小题
