on 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 time, 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 othersstare with you that way. eyes do speak, right? looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive(冒犯的). but things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. if a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert(转移) his gaze, his intentions are obvious: 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. as for the listener, he will, to a certain extent, look continuously at the speaker, to tell him that he is attentive. if a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate（控制）you, you will feel upset. 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(局限于) 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.32. when the writer says eyes can speak, he really means that . a. eyes can really speak sometimes b. eyes can express meaning sometimes c. eyes can understand meaning d. eyes take part in some conversations33.according to the text, a teacher should look at students in class in order to . a. find something wrong with the students b. show that he or she is very attentive c. make sure that students pay attention d. show the sign of honest communication34. which of the following is true according to the text?
