Tom is the son of a farm owner. One New Year’s Day, when he was 15, his father asked him 36  on the farm for one year when he was free. Tom was 37  with his father’s idea.“That isn’t my job. I have  38 school work to do.” Hearing this, his father said, “I promise to give you the best present if you  39  finish one year’s work.” Tom thought for a while and 40  .

Starting one Saturday, the boy got up early and worked hard until evening, just like  41 farmer. Time passed quickly. Tom’s crops(庄稼) grew well. 42  the last day of the year, the father called his son to him. “I’m happy to see that you have worked very hard the whole year,” said the father. “Now, tell me  43  you want.”

The boy smiled and showed his father a big piece of bread   44  his wheat. I’ve already got the best present: No pain, no gain. I think this is what you wanted me to know.” His father was  45  to hear that.

Jennifer was sitting on the beach. After all she had been through, it was just what she needed. It’s getting __31 ,” she thought. “I should go home.”
She wanted to know how her __32  would react（反应）, when she __33  home after the three days she was missing（失踪）.
It was really dark when she finally reached her front door. It seemed different to her. _34_ had taken care of the outside garden for __35  days. She was surprised as her father usually worked hard to keep everything __36  and tidy（整洁的）. She couldn’t understand what was going on.
She entered the _37 _. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written __38  her father. __39 said, “Dear Ellen, here is some coffee. I am out searching(搜寻).” Ellen was her mother, but where was she?
She went to her parents’ room. She found her there. Her __40  was lying on the bed, fast sleep. Her face looked so _ 41 , as if she hadn’t slept for days. Jennifer wanted to wake her up __42  she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her.
When Jennifer _43_, something was different: she wasn’t in her mother’s room any more and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away _ 44 . She was on her own bed.
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice ask, “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you __45  us all very, very worried.”

Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often __35____that eyes can speak.

Do you have such kind of__36____? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he___37___that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is__38____wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel__39____toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he___40___ her. When two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, ___41___ make sure that the listener does pay attention___42___what he or she is saying. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that ___43___cannot express.

Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the place___44___you stay.
