完型填空（20分）

Eyes can speak

Much meaning can be conveyed(传递) clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that 1 can speak.

Do you have such kind of 2 ? In a bus you may look at stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being 3 , he may feel uncomfortable.

The same in 4 life. If you are looked at for more than 5 , you will look at yourself up and 6 , to see if there is anything 7 with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare with you 8 . Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be 9 and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the 10 sex(性). If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert（挪开） his gaze（视线）, his 11 are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is 12 her.

However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the 13 will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to 14 that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is 15 .

If a speaker looks at you 16 when speaking, as if he tries to dominate(镇住) you, you will feel disconcerted(惶恐不安). A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the 17 , since he believes in the false idea 18 to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.

In fact, continuous eye 19 is confined(局限于) to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.

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

It's not easy... loving yourself unconditionally, because we've learned to judge ourselves...?

We seem to be driven to find what we perceive(意识到；察觉；理解)as "the missing piece" in our lives as if we are flawed(有缺点的；有缺陷的；错误的), or not good enough. Somehow enough never seems like enough and we live our lives in a constant and never ending search which leaves us exhausted.

What we forget are the sweet moments of being present with ourselves like we are when watching a sunset.

This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Today, I'm inviting you to take time to be present within yourself, dwell in(停留于) your heart space, and give yourself a well deserved break from striving and struggling...

Just be in the present moment and allow yourself to stop searching for more and to notice how much you already have inside.

Everyday we're preoccupied(全神贯注的，入神的) with obligations(义务) and responsibilities under great pressures from others and from ourselves, and what we truly ignore or forget are ourselves. From today on, let's start to love ourselves, unconditionally!

1. Which of the following is the best title of the passage ?

A. Loving Yourself Unconditionally B. obligations and responsibilities

C. Relaxation in life D. How to judge ourselves

2. We feel very tired because of .

A. our lives in a constant and endless reaeach B. forgetting our sweet moments

C. our satisfaction with what we have D. nothing to do in life

3. The writer suggests our .

A. paying more attention to ourselves in
