1Neuroscientist Bonnie Auyeung found that the hormone oxytocin increased the amount of eye contact from men toward the interviewer during a brief interview when the direction of their gaze was recorded.
主干主语：Neuroscientist Bonnie Auyeung；谓语：found；宾语：that引导的宾语从句
结构主句后接that宾语从句，从句主干为oxytocin increased the amount。from men toward the interviewer作后置定语修饰eye contact；during a brief interview为时间状语；when引导时间状语从句修饰interview，说明记录目光方向的时机。结构层层嵌套，易把when从句误接到主句。
译文神经科学家邦妮·奥扬发现，在一次短暂访谈中记录男性目光方向时，催产素会增加他们对访谈者的眼神接触量。
考点that宾语从句中嵌套when时间状语从句 · increased the amount of eye contact from A toward B 的介词搭配
2While eye contact may be a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations, it’s more likely to be associated with dominance or intimidation in adversarial situations.
主干主语：eye contact / it；谓语：may be / is more likely to be associated with；表语/宾语：a sign / dominance or intimidation
结构While引导让步状语从句，与主句形成对比。in friendly situations、in adversarial situations分别为地点/情境状语。it’s more likely to be associated with为“更可能与……相关”的固定结构，it回指eye contact。对比关系是理解关键。
译文虽然在友好场合眼神接触可能是联结或信任的信号，但在对抗场合它更可能与支配或威慑联系在一起。
考点While表让步而非时间 · be associated with 后接抽象名词
3How the whole image is then assembled and perceived is still a mystery although it is the subject of current research.
主干主语：How引导的主语从句；谓语：is；表语：a mystery
结构How...perceived为主语从句（how+陈述语序），is still a mystery为系表结构。although引导让步状语从句，it回指“图像如何被组装和感知”这一课题。主语从句较长，易误判句子主干。
译文整幅图像随后如何被组装并感知，至今仍是个谜，尽管它是当前研究的课题。

4In people who score high in a test of neuroticism, a personality dimension associated with self-consciousness and anxiety, eye contact triggered more activity associated with avoidance, according to the Finnish researcher Jari Hietanen and colleagues.
主干主语：eye contact；谓语：triggered；宾语：more activity
结构In people who...为地点状语，who引导定语从句修饰people。a personality dimension...为neuroticism的同位语，associated with...为后置定语。associated with avoidance修饰activity。according to为插入的来源状语，置于句末。多层修饰易造成主干不清。
译文芬兰研究者贾里·希塔宁及其同事发现，在神经质（一种与自我意识和焦虑相关的人格维度）测试中得分高的人身上，眼神接触会引发更多与回避相关的大脑活动。
考点同位语+过去分词后置定语叠加 · according to置于句末作来源状语
5A more direct finding is that people who scored high for negative emotions like anxiety looked at others for shorter periods of time and reported more comfortable feelings when others did not look directly at them.
主干主语：A more direct finding；谓语：is；表语：that引导的表语从句
结构that表语从句中，people为主语，who scored high...为定语从句，like anxiety举例。looked at...and reported...为并列谓语。when引导时间状语从句修饰reported。并列谓语+定语从句+时间从句使结构较长。
译文一项更直接的发现是：在焦虑等负面情绪上得分高的人看他人的时间更短，并且当别人不直视他们时，他们会感到更舒服。
考点that表语从句含并列谓语 · who定语从句与when时间从句的层次区分
