Much meaning can be conveyed, 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 is sensing 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 at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intentions are 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 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 dominate you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.
In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.
    Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
33. Which of the following behaviors is proper according to the passage?         
A. To the opposite sex, stare at him or her. 
   B. To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her.
   C. In a conversation, look at the listener all the time. 
   D. Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situations. 
34. If two persons exchange eye contact gently for long, what is probably their relationship? 
   A. Boss and employee.    B. Lovers.    C. Teacher and student.   D. Strangers
35. What’s the best title of the passage?                   
   A. Don’t stare at others    B. Body language is important  
C. Eyes can speak D. Eye contact benefits you
