Much meaning can be conveyed 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 　39 .

The same is true in 　40 life. If you are looked at for more than 　41 ,you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is 42 wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s 　43 at you that way.

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and 　44 . But things are different when it 45 to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than ten seconds and 　46 to avert (移开) his gaze, his intentions are 　47 , that is , he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is 　48　 her.

49 , the normal eye contact for two people 　50　 in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener 　51 , in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking about, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, 　52 he tries to dominate(控制) you, you will feel embarrassing.

In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to 　53 only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that 　54 cannot express.

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to relationship between two people and the specific 　55 .

Education for Exceptional Children

　 Exceptional children are different in some ways from others of the same age. For these children to 　31 their full adult potential, their 　32 must suit those differences.

　 Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we 　33 ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage 　34 our attention, we also see the importance of the 　35 players and the scenery of the 　36 itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the 　37 to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full 　38 of society’s understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are 　39 to the next generation.

　 Education in any society is a 　40 of the society. We can see in it the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the 41 values of the culture itself. The great 42 in exceptional children shown in public education over the past thirty years 　43 the strong feeling in our society that all 　44 , whatever their special conditions, have a right to get the chance to fully develop their abilities.

　 “All man are created equal.” We’ve 　 45 　 it many times, but it still has an important meaning for education in a democratic society. 　46 the phrase was used by this country’s founders to express equality before the 　47 , it has also been explained to mean equality of education. That 　48 educational chance for all children—the right of each child to 49 help in learning to the limit of his or her ability, whether that ability is small or great. Recent 50 decisions have made certain of the right of children—disabled or not—to a suitable education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education.

In the doorway of my home，I looked closely at my 23?year?old son，Daniel.In a few hours he would be flying to France to __1__ a different life.It was a transitional (过渡的) time in Daniel’s life.I wanted to __2__ him some words of significance.But nothing came from my lips，and this was not the __3__ time I had let such moments pass.

My mouth turned dry，and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.“Daniel，”I said，“if I could have picked，I would have picked you.” That’s all I could say.He hugged me.For a moment，the world __16__，and there were just Daniel and me.He was saying something，but tears misted my eyes，and I couldn’t understand what he was saying.All I was __17__ of was the stubble (短须) on his chin as his face pressed __18__ mine.What I had said to Daniel was __19__.It was nothing.And yet，it was __20__.
