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

Do you have such kind of 36 ? In a bus you may look at a 　37 , but not too long. And if he is 　38 that he is being stared at, he may feel 　39 .

The same is in 　40　 life. If you are looked at for more than 　41 , you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is 　42 wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s 　43 at you that way.

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and 　44 . But things are different when it 　45 to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a Woman for more than 10 seconds and 　46 to avert（移开）his gaze, his intentions are 　47 , that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is 　48 her.

49 , the normal eye contact for two people 50 in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener 　51 , in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking about, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, 　52 he tries to dominate（控制）you, you will feel embarrassing.

In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to 　53 only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that 　54 cannot express.

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific 　55 .

We recently treated our now-adult son and his girlfriend to a seafood feast, near Cocoa Beach, Florida.

“Mr. Goldsmith!” our waitress ran out of the dinning room waving a receipt at him, “Thank you. ”

He looked at her as though he didn’t __43___. We’ve all seen that universal__44__ of confusion—eyebrows drawn together and head cocked to one side

“What did you give her?” I asked in a stage whisper, ___45___if he had done something __46__ or made a calculation error.

“Wow, Dad,” our son said, __47__like an awestruck 10 –year-old. “I’ve never seen a waitress ___48___anyone out of the restaurant to say ‘thank you’ for the tip.

“She gave us great service. I just thought she deserved a little bump __49___ what I usually give. ”

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.

What I 36 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 37 ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 38 his family as cold. When we got into the 39 to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 40 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.

I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 41 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 42 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 43 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 45 him.

When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 46 . For example, I always return phone calls 47 and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them I had one friend who rarely called, answering my massages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 48 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 49 as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.

Far too often, I ignored their 53 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 55 other persons love signs.

It was Christmas time, and 38 there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas 39 .
