  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（盯著）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 10 seconds 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（說謊者）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!

Eyes can speak In our 46 life A lot of feeling can be  47  to others with our eyes. There are a lot of facts to prove it. You may not feel very well when you are  48  at more than often. This time it will make you   49  and you will wonder whether there’s something wrong. If not, you’ll be really angry. When you look too long at the   50  sex Looking too long at a girl you  51  means you wish to attract her attention. And most of the time, continuous eyes contacting is just for  52  . When you have a   53  with someone If a speaker looks at the listeners at  54 , it is a kind of  55  eye contact. So remember to look at your partner at the right time. If not, it will make others uncomfortable.

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.

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.

It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

When we talk about stars, especially women stars, it seems that they are always young, pretty and own attractive body shapes. But recently a Britain’s Got Talent(英國達人) star Susan Boyle has changed our views completely.

Simon Cowell, one of the organizers of the talent show spoke of his surprise over Ms Boyle’s voice. “This lady came up, and I’m thinking, ‘This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea.’ That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream from Lea Miserables. She knew we were going to have that reaction(反應) and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through — it was one of my favorite moments,” Cowell said.

The performance was posted online and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.

Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that she hadn’t thought of changing her appearance. She said that her friend helped her with make-up. “I mean, it’s meaningless.” She added.

It’s a long-awaited day for China. The navy now has its first aircraft carrier(航空母艦), Liaoning.

It’s a unique experience to get to know the life in the carrier. The carrier is just like a small city on the sea. It has all the functions for daily life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor（過道）could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors（水手）is quite small. That’s because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck. For visitors, it’s so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of female sailors is much less than that of the males, taking about 5 percent of the total. But they play a key role in carrying out some special missions.

Also, you will be surprised by the high level of education of today’s sailors. The captain said that over 90 percent of the sailors are college graduates. Six hold Doctor’s Degrees and 45 have a Master’s. The whole team is young but vigorous（朝氣蓬勃的）. The complex work on the carrier requires high management abilities for the commanders onboard(在船上).

31. Why do we visitors get lost easily inside the carrier?

A. Because they don’t have a map.     

B. Because the living space is quite small.

C. Because there are too many corridors for rooms.

D. Because the corridor inside the carrier is too long.

32. What does the word “high” in Line 6 refer to（指代）？

A. The aircraft carrier is high since it is just like a small city.   

B. Most of the soldiers received good education.

C. The expense（花費）to run a carrier is high.

D. The high-level of their training.

33. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. Liaoning is our country’s first aircraft carrier.  

B. Most of the sailors on the carrier are college graduates.

C. There are far fewer women sailors than men sailors on the carrier.
