Much meaning can be carried,clearly,with our eyes,so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience?In a bus you may look at a stranger,but not too long.And if he notices that he is being stared 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 anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry toward others'stare(盯着)with you that way.Eyes do speak,right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite or even rude.But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex.If a man look at a woman for more than 10seconds and refuses to turn away from his looking,his purpose is obvious,that is,he wishes to attract her attention,to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However,the normal eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what his friend is speaking,to tell him that he is interested.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to control you,you will feel uncomfortable.We usually find a poor liar(说谎者)looking too long at the victim,because he believes that it is a sign of honest communication to look straight in the eye.Totally wrong!
In fact,continuous eye contact only happens between lovers,who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time,to show feelings that words cannot express.Obviously,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.
| Eyes can speak | |
| In our (62)dailylife | A lot of feeling can be(63)carriedto others with our eyes.There are a lot of facts to prove it.You may not feel very well when you are(64)lookedat more than often.This time it will make you(65)nervous(worried,uncomfortable,uneasy)and you will wonder whether there's something wrong.If not,you'll be really angry. |
| When you look too long at theopposite(66).sex | Looking too long at a girl you(67)admiremeans you wish to attract her attention.And most of the time,continuous eyes contacting is just for(68)lovers. |
| When you have a (69)talk(conversation)with someone | If a speaker looks at the listeners at (70)times,it is a kind of(71)normal(common)eye contact. |
| So remember to look at your partner at the right time.If not,it will make others uncomfortable. | |
If you would like to swim indoors,a good time in the day is the early hours-the body has the most energy to use because the body has woken up and will be ready for all kinds of different activities of the day.The body is going to work with enough energy and therefore a person will feel more comfortable if he swims during the early hours of the day.
Swimming early in the day can also be good for anyone who plans to swim outdoors.The conditions outside will be excellent:the water will not be too cold or too hot,and the air will be just clean and fine.Everything is suitable.
Usually,it is not a good idea to swim later in the day because one's body is tired after work for a whole day and also the weather conditions can be the worst in the later parts of the day.
However,there are still some exceptions.Different people feel different and one's body acts differently at different times of the day.When a person is feeling active and is not tired at all after work,it may be a better time to swim for him than for others.If he is alert (警觉的) that time,he is safe in the water.
In a word,the best time can change for every person.The person's body condition decides when the best time for swimming is.
