communication. 36 here are four most important eye expressions that we see every day.1. smiling eyesresearchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. when we are sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes crinkles (出现皱纹). but a social, polite smile touches only our lips (嘴唇). 37 for example, when a shop assistant smiles at you, offering help, you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you something. 2. 38 people who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere. what does little or no eye contact mean then? anything from shyness to nervousness.3. friendly eyeswhen you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends a clear message to him: 39 this is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye contact with the speaker.4. “shut” eyescovering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block out something that you do not want to hear. for example, a man who is asked to work on the weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, “no problem.” 40 a. shy eyesb. empty eyesc. such behavior is seen with liars.d. you are paying attention to the talk.e. the smile you are given is not in the eyes.f. what his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all.g. so it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes.第三部分： 语言知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。kindness is not always a straight line. i was traveling in
