Eyes Can Speak

Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said

that eyes can speak.

Do you have such kind of e 92 ? In a bus you may look at a stranger,

but not too long. And if he f 93 that he is being looked at, he may feel

uncomfortable. The same is in the daily life. If you are looked at for more

than necessary, you will look at y 94 up and down, to see if there is

anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the person who is

looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be r 95 . But sometimes things are different. If

a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her

attention, to make her understand that he loves her. W 96 two people are in a conversation,

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 he or she is speaking. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being

looked at for a long time, to show something that w 97 cannot express.

Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship b 98 two people and the

place where you stay. 静安

The Xin’an Street Community (社区) began three programs not long ago.

The Neighborhood Clean-up Program

Every Sunday at 5:00 pm, the neighbors begin cleaning

Xin’an street from one 85 to the other. The head of the

community, Zhao Fuqin, said, “The first Sunday, only eleven

people came, but we 86 over seven big bags of rubbish from

the sidewalk and street. The next weekend, twenty people came,

and filled eight big rubbish bags. Now the neighborhood really

looks great!”

The Neighborhood Watch Program

The neighbors on Xin’an Street began this program to look for problems in the neighborhood

and to call the police if necessary. The neighbors all say the watch has already helped.

Sun Yan, aged 60, a retired teacher, said, “In the past, I felt 87 at night. Now I know my

neighbors are watching for trouble.” According to the police, there are fewer problems on Xin’an

Street. “Calls to 110 88 last month. Criminals (犯罪份子) knew that the people on Xin’an

Street were watching, so they stayed away,” said a policeman.

The Neighborhood Fitness Program

89 was built last month, where the neighbors can do different kinds of sports like

basketball, ping-pong ball, tennis, etc. “Every morning you can see groups of neighbors doing

exercises 90 here and there, such as running, dancing and playing taijiquan. We have come to

realize the importance of taking exercise,” said Chen Jinliang, a businessman of 45.
