A．Ways to beautify eyes
B．Proper use of eye contact(接触)
C．Techniques of sending eye signals
D．Colours of people’s eyes
E．Functions of different parts of the eye
F．Variety of messages conveyed(传递)through eyes
1．
The coloured part of the eye is called the iris(虹膜)．There are three basic eye colours－brown, blue and green．A few albino people have red or pink eyes, but these are very rare．Many people believe that blue eyes are more delicate(敏感的)than brown eyes．In fact they are just as tough as brown eyes, although they are more sensitive to light．
2．
We only see part of the eyeball, although the whole eye is as big as a table tennis ball．Light enters the eye through the pupil(瞳仁)and passes through the lens(晶状体)．The lens focuses the light onto the retina(视网膜)at the back of the eye．The retina sends the signal to the brain along the optic nerve(神经)．The image on the retina is actually upside－down, but the brain corrects it．As we get older our eyesight becomes worse．This happens because the lens isn’t as flexible(柔韧的)as when we are young and the eye muscles are weaker．
3．
Our eyes are the most important of our five senses．We receive 80％ of our information about the world through our eyes．We also send signals to other people with our eyes．Some eye signals are unconscious(无意识的)．When we look at something nice, our pupils get bigger．But when we don’t like something, they become smaller．We cry when we are unhappy and sometimes when we are very happy．But we can also control some eye signals．For example, we can wink(眨眼)at someone or raise an eyebrow(眉毛)．Sunglasses make someone appear mysterious or dangerous, because they hide that eyes and so we can’t see the signals．
4．
We find large eyes more attractive．Children have large eyes in proportion(比例)to their heads．Cartoon characters always have large eyes, too．We can’t actually change our eyes, but we can make them look bigger with make－up．Eye make－up isn’t new．Pictures in the Pyramids show that the ancient Egyptians both men and women used it．False eyelashes can make eyelashes longer．Eye shadow on the eyelids(眼睑)can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic．Glasses can also make eyes look bigger．
5．
We do not normally look into someone’s eyes for long, especially when they are very close．Eye contact can be very threatening, so people only do it when they want to threaten someone．It is also very intimate(私人的)．This is why lovers gaze into each other’s eyes．It’s also why people don’t look at each other in lifts．

| Learn how to relax The right amount of stress is a necessity Share your stress Take care of yourself E. Try physical activities F. Be a participant |
Stress comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. It is unique and personal to each of us. You need stress in your life. Without stress, life would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavour, challenge, and opportunity to life. Too much stress, however, can seriously affect your physical and mental peace. A major challenge in this stress-filled world of today is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.
【小题2】 ____________
When you are nervous, angry, or upset, release the pressure through exercise or physical activities. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve that “uptight” feeling, relax you, and turn the frowns (皱眉) into smiles. Remember, your body and your mind work together.
【小题3】____________
You are special. Get enough rest and eat well. If a problem is beyond your control and cannot be changed at the moment, don’t fight the situation. If you are irritable (急躁的) and tense from lack of sleep or if you are not eating correctly, you will have less ability to deal with stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun, or you should ask your doctor for help. Be good to yourself.
【小题4】____________
One way to keep from getting aboard, sad, and lonely is to go where it’s all happening. Sitting alone can make you feel disappointed. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, get involved. Offer your services in neighbourhood or volunteer organizations. Help yourself by helping other people. Get involved in the world and the people around you, and you’ll find they will be attracted to you. You will be on your way to make new friends and enjoy new activities.
【小题5】____________
The best way of avoiding stress is to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. For a while, forget your worries about time, productivity, and “doing right”. You will find satisfaction in just being, without struggling hard. Find activities that give you pleasure and that are good for your mental and physical well-being. Read a good book or listen to beautiful music to create a sense of peace. Forget about always winning. Focus on relaxation, enjoyment, and health.

Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services（US-CIS）. It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.

The newly released US citizenship exam has included more information and knowledge. People who take it need to know more about the adopted country and have a deeper insight into its culture and values. “The goal is to make it more meaningful.” explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US—CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect” for US civic values, Gonzalez says.

The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country's “values”. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language／work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude（裸体的）women bathing at beaches and gay（同性恋的）men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that “newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores（风俗）”.

Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile (敌对的) to each other. Promoting unity has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes（少数民族聚居区）in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.

Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate（同化）themselves. “Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?” says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition（难民辩护联盟）.
