Much infrmatin can be cnveyed, purely thrugh ur eyes, s the expressin "eyes als talk" is ften heard.
Can yu recall any experience that further prves this statement? On a bus yu may quickly glance at a stranger, but nt make eye cntact. If he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncmfrtable.
It is the same in daily life. If yu are stared at fr mre than necessary, yu will lk at yurself up and dwn t see if there is anything wrng with yu. If nthing ges wrng, yu will feel angry abut ther's staring at yu that way. Eyes d cnvey infrmatin, right?
Lking t lng at smene may seem t be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it cmes t staring at the ppsite sex. If a man lks at a wman fr mre than 10 secnds and refuses t turn away his gaze, his intentins are bvius. That is, he wishes t attract her attentin, t make her understand that he is shwing affectin fr her.
Hwever, the nrmal eye cntact fr tw peple engaged in cnversatin is that the speaker will nly lk at the listener frm time t time, in rder t make sure that the listener des pay attentin t what the frmer is speaking, t tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker lks at yu cntinuusly when speaking, as if he tries t cntrl yu, yu will feel uneasy. A pr liar usually expses himself by lking t lng at the victim, since he believes the false idea that t lk straight in the eye is a sign f hnest cmmunicatin.
In fact, cntinuus eye cntact happens between lvers nly, wh will enjy lking at each ther tenderly fr a lng time, t shw lve that wrds cannt express.
Evidently, eye cntact shuld be dne accrding t the relatinship between tw peple and the specific situatin.
28. What may a persn usually d n a bus?
A. Glance at a stranger with eye cntact. B. Use eyes t talk t a stranger plitely.
C. Glance at a stranger withut eye cntact. D. Talk t a stranger plitely after a quick glance.
29. Why is a pr liar easy t be seen thrugh?
A. He thinks that he is hnest. B. He wants t cntrl the victim.
C. He feels uneasy abut thers' eye cntact. D. He lks straight at the victim fr t lng a time.
30. What's the best title f the passage?
A. Eyes Can Als "Talk" B. Hw t Make Eye Cntact
C. Different Ways f Expressing Thughts D. The Imprtance f Bdy Language
C
Laurie had just cme hme frm schl when she heard a light hammering sund cming frm Grandpa's study. Curius, she tapped n the dr. "Grandpa? Can I cme in?"
"Just a secnd!" Grandpa answered. Laurie heard lts f shuffling. "Enter!"
Grandpa was sitting empty-handed at his desk, but there were wd shavings everywhere. "Aren't yu suppsed t be at schl?" he asked.
"It's ver at three. What were yu ding here?" Laurie said curiusly. She saw smething wden underneath a bk. "Aha!" she cried, pulling the bject ut. "What's this?"
"Well, that's yur birthday gift. But nw it wn't be a surprise," Grandpa said.
It was a wden crcdile with a string n the tp f its head s the muth culd be pened and shut.
"It's an ancient Egyptian ty," Grandpa said. "I made this, but if yu were a child in ancient Egypt, yu might have smething similar. Crcdiles were an imprtant part f Egyptian life, and many crcdiles lived in the Nile River."
"The Egyptians depended n the Nile River fr many things. It flded every year, giving much-needed water and nutrients t the land. This made farming easy fr the Egyptians. The sft, wet land als made gd mud fr building mud-brick huses."
"And the river prvided the peple f the area with a cnvenient highway fr transprtatin and cmmunicatin."
"Ancient Egypt was an agricultural sciety. If yu were a little Egyptian girl living abut fur thusand years ag, yur father wuld prbably be a grain farmer. Grains were the mst cmmn crp, especially wheat and barley, which were used t make bread and beer—the mst typical fd and drink."
"Unluckily, children didn't g t schl like yu d nw. Yu'd prbably spend mst days helping yur parents. During the harvest seasn maybe yu wuld bundle wheat up n the farm. Or perhaps yu'd be at hme, helping t ck r take care f the vegetable garden near yur huse."
Just then, Mm called frm dwnstairs, "Laurie! I'm hme!"
"Hi, Mm! I'll be right dwn!" Laurie said. "Thanks, Grandpa. I'll pretend I never saw this," she said, putting the crcdile back n the desk. "Until next time!"
"Until next time! Bye, Laurie!"
31. Grandpa answered "Just a secnd!" because he wanted t ____.

D
Many cncepts that are central t the human experience are abstract, such as relatinships, ideas, and time—things we can't directly see r tuch. We cmmnly use cncrete language t talk and think abut these things, ften thrugh metaphrs.
Using metaphrs is far mre than a petic device f factual statements. A study carried ut at Purchase Cllege fund that metaphrs can frame peple's pinins, thus shaping their reasning and fllwing actins. Fr example, describing the effrt t stp climate change as a "war" rather than a "race" caused peple t feel mre urgency abut reducing emissins.
Anther example is the lightbulb metaphr cmmnly used t describe new ideas, suggesting that new thughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned n. Hwever, this metaphr prves that new ideas cme effrtlessly and are accessible nly t a select few geniuses, such as Isaac Newtn, wh suppsedly develped his thery f gravity frm a sudden insight abut a falling apple. It may lead peple t questin their capability t have new ideas, and as a behaviral result, peple may verlk the rle f hard wrk and cnstant learning in bringing abut change.
An alternative way t describe ideas is by cmparing new thughts t seeds that fall n fertile grund and—if cared fr—will grw and develp ver time. Different frm the lightbulb metaphr, the seed metaphr shws an understanding that creating new ideas is a labrius prcess, which requires time and effrt. It als suggests that anybdy can be the cultivatr f ideas as lng as they put their mind t it.
The effects f metaphrs shw hw pwerful language can be, even thugh we ften dn't realize it. Wh'd have thught a simple use f a lightbulb metaphr culd influence hw we understand the cncept f innvatin? Given the nature f ur metaphrical minds, it is wrth asking: are ur metaphrs suitable? We we it t urselves and thers t use metaphrs prperly. These chices—cnscius r nt—can be helpful r harmful.
34. What can we learn abut metaphrs frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. They can frame peple's behavirs. B. They can make language mre petic.
C. They may develp peple's viewpints. D. They may use abstract language mre ften.
35. What des the underlined wrd "verlk" in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Fail t ntice. B. Think highly f. C. Take pride in. D. Pay attentin t.
36. What des the seed metaphr differ frm the lightbulb metaphr?
A. The imprtance f natural talent. B. The peple's dubt abut creativity.
C. The prcess f prducing new ideas. D. The cntinuus effrts f individuals.
37. What is the authr's attitude twards using metaphrs?
A. Negative. B. Careful. C. Supprtive. D. Respectful.
