Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

1.In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 2.. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.3.. If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.

However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking.4.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 5.

Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.

A. On the contrary, it will give him away.

B. Do you have such a kind of experience?

C. That’s what normal eye contact is all about.

D. Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.

E. After all, everybody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.

F. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.

G. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.

All you will leave behind for the world to remember is your legacy(遗产), but what legacy will you leave?

I had a philosophy(哲学)professor, whose untidy appearance was highlighted(突出)by a _______sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often _______on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand “what’s the meaning of _______” discussions. Many of those discussions went_______, but there were a few that really hit home(切中要害). This was one of them.

“_______to the following questions by a _______of hands,” my professor instructed.

“How many of you can tell me something about your parents” Everyone’s hand _______.

“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents” About three-fourths put up their hands.

“How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents” Two out of sixty students _______their hands.

“Look around the room,” he said, “In just two short generations _______any of us even know ________our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph in a musty(发霉的)cigar box. ________ maybe we know the classic family________about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us __________know who they were, what they thought, what they took pride in, what they were afraid of, or what they dreamed about? Think about that. Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this __________to you?”

“Here’s a better question. Look __________three generations. You are long ________. Instead of you sitting in this room, now it’s your great-grandchildren. What will they have to say __________you? Will they know about you or will you be ________, too?”

“Is your life going to be a ________or an example? What legacy will you leave? The__________is yours. Class dismissed.”

6.Charles Chaplin,who died in 1977,is considered one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of the cinema.During his lifetime,he acted in 13films,and he wrote,directed and acted in 69other films.
Chaplin was born in London in 1889.When a poor boy,he was often seen waiting outside the London theaters,hoping to get work in show business.He could sing and dance,and above all,he knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five.He broke into show business because his mother,a music-hall performer,lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage,and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song.Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage.Charlie stopped singing and told the audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song.The audiences laughed.This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin's fabulous career(神话般的生涯).
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world.His dream came true in the end.Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent.The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed.The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin,as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues.Instead,he continued to make films without dialogue,but he added music,which he wrote himself.It isn't what he says that makes us laugh.His comedy doesn't depend on words.It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.
Chaplin's later films,however,were not well received.Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland,where he was buried at Christmas 1977,at the age of eighty-eight.There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book,Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life.He says,"You have to believe in yourself.That's the secret."

25.Chaplin is regarded as king of comedy mainly becauseC.

B.Neither his words nor actions
C.Either his words or his actions
D.Not only his words but also his actions
27.The only secret of Charles Chaplin's huge success is thatB.

5.My husband and I are saving thousands of dollars every year by growing our own vegetables in our backyard.We learn something new every year and this website has been made to share tips with other people that would like to grow some of their own food.
It's true that if you are starting from fresh,it will cost a little bit of money to get started.However,once everything is set up,the cost is very small and the rewards are huge.The size of your family and how many vegetables you eat determine exactly how much money you can save every year.We do a lot of juicing,so we are saving thousands of dollars by growing some carefully selected greens.
There is an amazing sense of accomplishment when you grow your own vegetables.Vegetables out of your vegetable garden don't get any fresher,tastier or more satisfying.The whole family can get involved in this hobby and kids will learn where food comes from and appreciate nature even more.
Our approach to vegetable gardening is completely different from the normal one.We are doing it in the lazy way with zero digging and fertilizing(施肥).The way we grow our vegetables is to emulate natural ecosystems.No rows of carrots can be found in our garden beds.Rain forests seem to do just fine without human interference(干预) or having plants sown in rows,so we have applied the same principle to our vegetable garden and we care producing more vegetables than ever.
By copying nature we spend little time working in the vegetable garden but get a much better crop than previous years when we followed the rules.What can I say?We're such rebels.(叛逆者)

28.What does the author think about people growing their own vegetables?A
A.It is a rewarding activity.
B.It is costly in the beginning.
C.People should devote many efforts.
D.People should share their tips.
29.What does the underlined word"emulate"in paragraph 4mean?B
A.Create.B.Imitate(模仿).C.Protect        D.Improve.
30.Why does the author call her and her husband"rebels"?A
A.They use unconventional ways to grow vegetables.
B.They don't buy vegetables from the market.
C.They even try to grow vegetables in the rain forests.
D.They don't grow ordinary vegetables.
