Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes．So it is often said that eyes can speak．Do you have such kind of 36 ？In a bus you may look at a 37 but not too long．And if he is _38 that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable．
The same is in daily life．If you are looked at for more than 39 ,you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you．If 40 goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others’ stare at you that way．Eyes do 41 ,right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and 42 . But things are different when it comes to staring at the 43 sex．If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and 44 to avert （转移） his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is 45 her. 46, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in a 47 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 48 ．If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy．A poor 49 usually exposes himself by looking too long at the 50 ,since he believes the 51 idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of 52 communication．Quite the contrary．
In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to 53 only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show 54 that words cannot express．
Evidently,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and 55 situation．

【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。一个人应当生疏到自己的特长和短处，然后充分发挥自己的特长，对世界作出自己最大的贡献，这就是爱因斯坦放弃当以色列总统而潜心于物理学争辩的缘由。
1. D　依据前文提到的我们不能做好全部的事，而且有很多事情我们根本就做不了，再结合空格前表示转折意义的But可知，这里应当是指我们每个人都有自己的“天赋(gifts)”。
2．B　此处构成offer sb.sth.搭配，再结合下一个空后的by the offer可知答案。
3．C　尽管他拒绝担当以色列总统，但对此他照旧深受(deeply)感动。
4．A　从and前的平行词saddened可知只有“惭愧的(ashamed)”符合语境。
5．C　这里指缺少“与生俱来的(natural)”的资质(即天赋)，即不适合当总统。
6．B　爱因斯坦认为自己缺乏天赋和阅历来行使“官方的(official)”职能。
7．D　指履行总统的职责。fulfill意为“完成，履行”。
8．C　从前文提到的缘由可知他“缺少(lack)”必要的政治上的才能。
9．D　知道自己的不足真的会令我们感到“耻辱(shame)”吗？
10．B　知道自己的不足，然后“把精力集中在(focus on)”自己能做好的事情上。
11．A　指我们可能生疏到也可能没有“生疏到(recognize)”这个道理，即上一段最终两句提到的道理。
12．D　依据上文可知应当是我们很少有人能成为爱因斯坦，但我们照旧能对生活作出有意义的贡献。
13．A　从上题分析可知，此处contribute to意为“对……有贡献”。
14．B　当我们知道自己能做什么……由于宾语从句we can do缺少宾语且空格处还引导宾语从句，故用what。
15．C　明显我们应当找出自己的特长，做好自己能做的事情。that particular thing指我们发觉自己能做的那件事。

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children，a new survey showed last Tuesday.
The survey，published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $3 million or more in assets.It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well－developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”．
The majority of the 457 people surveyed are selfmade，first－generation rich.Fifty－two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are，and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth.One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.
They are worried that their children would become lazy，spend money freely，make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.
Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance(遗产)they plan to leave them.
“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation，”said Sallie Krawcheck，president of the Global Wealth and Investment Management of the Bank of America.“Our research，however，uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”
The trend is led by the world's richest man Bill Gates，who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife，the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(基金会)，and not to his children.
“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact，”he said.
Of his plans for his children，Gates said：“I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage...they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”
【语篇解读】 调查表明，大部分美国富人不愿向孩子炫富，甚至不打算将丰厚的资产传给后代。
1．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance
B．rich parents don't equal rich kids，at least in the US
C．American children don't get to inherit their parents' wealth
D．poor children don't expect themselves to be as rich as their parents
解析　推理推断题。其次段的后半部分提到在被调查的美国富人中，几乎没有人方案为他们的孩子保留资产或者将资产传给孩子，由此可推断在美国，父母富有并不意味着孩子富有。
答案　B
2．According to the survey，most rich Americans ________.
A．think they owe their children nothing
B．think it best to give their money back to society
C．doubt their children's ability to handle wealth
D. are confident of their children's ability to handle wealth
解析　推理推断题。依据第四段内容可推知，大部分美国富人怀疑他们的孩子处理财宝的力气。
答案　C
3．The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 6 refers to ________.
A．responsible children
B．Bill Gates and his wife
C．first－generation rich
D．rich parents
解析　词义猜想题。富有的父母们期望把他们的财宝传给 下一代，此处they指代的是画线词前面的“the wealthy parents”，即“rich parents”。
答案　D
4．From the last paragraph，we can see that Bill Gates wants to show ________.
A．the trend of leaving no inheritance to children
B．the positive impact of charity on society
C．the way of giving back to society
D．the importance of independence for children
解析　推理推断题。依据本段中比尔·盖茨所说的话可推知，他更强调孩子的个人奋斗，认为培育孩子的独立很重要。
答案　D。
