Much information can be conveyed,purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.
Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement?On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger,but not make eye contact.If he senses that he is being stared at,he may feel uncomfortable.
It is the same in daily life.If you are stared at for more than necessary,you will look at yours
elf up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry about other’s staring at you that way.Eyes do convey information,right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze(注视),his intentions are obvious.That is,he wishes to attract her attention,to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.
However,the normal eye contact for two people engaged in 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 the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.
In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words cannot express.
Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。全文主要介绍了红包的由来及其所表征的意义。
1.traditional 考查词性转换。根据空后的名词symbolism可知,应用形容词。
2.especially 考查词性转换。especially “尤其”,在句中作状语,起强调作用。
3.as 考查介词。regard ... as ...“把……当作是……”。
4.the 考查冠词。此处指上文提到的“devil”,故用定冠词the。
5.and 考查连词。根据空格前后内容可知,应用and连接两个并列的句子。
6.containing 考查非谓语动词。envelopes与contain为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。
7.has survived 考查动词的时态。此处强调这个传统从过去开始,并且对现在仍有影响,故用现在完成时。
8.employees 考查词性转换。老板常常给员工们发红包。give sb. sth. “给某人某物”,故用名词。employee表示“雇员”,为可数名词,应用复数形式表泛指。

10.means 考查主谓一致。所填词在句中作谓语,句子的主语为动名词短语“Giving hongbao at  ...  Year”,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。
