The eyes are the window of the soul (灵魂). Eye language can express different feelings. People from
English-speaking countries have more eye contact when they are in conversation. When Americans are talking,
they usually look at each other. But there are many rules about eye language: Whether to look at the other speaker
or not; when it is the time to look, how long they can look; who they can look at and who they can’t. All these have
different meanings.
Americans put great importance on the time and the way of eye contact. In ordinary conversation, they will
look at each other about one minute and then they will look away. Too long eye contact will make people feel
uncomfortable. Once some Americans had a trip to a foreign village and the local people stared (盯) at them. The
Americans were angry and thought the local people were not friendly. In fact, it was natural and local area. They
were just curious (好奇的).
People who like each other have more eye contact than people who dislike each other. Women usually
communicate with more eye contact. If two Americans stare at each other, it shows they are close friends. In North
America, the children have learned to look at the other speaker in the eye. If they don’t, they are thought to be
unconfident.
16. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?
A. We can read one’s mind through his/her eyes. B. Our eyes can speak in conversation.
C. Our eyes can see the speaker. D. Eye language is more important than the soul.
17. Which is NOT the rule about eye language according to the passage?
A. How long to look at each other. B. How to look away from the other speaker.
C. When to look at the other speaker. D. Whether to look at the other speaker or not.
18. Americans think it ________ to stare at people they don’t know.
A. interesting B. curious C. angry D. unfriendly
,

C. they understand each other D. they are curious about each other
20. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
