阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
When it comes to body language, we often overlook(忽略) eye contact. Eye contact means looking into another person's eyes. It can be the key to communicating and behaving well. Eye contact can show feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding.
In Western countries, it's important to know about some basic rules of eye contact in conversations. If you do not use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not listening to them. What's more, if you look away, they may also think that you are lying. This may make them get angry at you easily.
However, in many Asian countries, one of the useful suggestions is to look down when you talk with an older person, like a teacher or a parent. It is considered to be polite. These differences can cause problems. For example, while listening to a Western speaker, an Asian person might look down. But the Western speaker might think this person is not interested in what he or she is saying.
Not using eye contact can cause problems, but using too much is not polite either. In many countries, watching other people, especially strangers, for a long time is impolite. This may make them feel nervous.
Cultural differences in body language and communication may lead to misunderstandings between people from different backgrounds. So it's important to know cultural differences before you go somewhere.
