Much meaning can be conveyed（传达） 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盯） at，he may feel uncomfortable．
The same is 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 other's stare at you that ;way．Eyes do speak，right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite and even rude．But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex．If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn his eyes away from the woman，his purpose is 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 during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time；in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what the speaker is speaking，to tell him that he is interested．
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to control you，you will feel uncomfortable．A poor liar（说谎者） usually looks too long at the victim，because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication．
In fact，continuous eye contact only happens between two lovers，who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time，to show feeling that words cannot express．Obviously，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation．

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened，and there was nothing special about it．Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at．It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better． One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything from our friends．Another way is to look for good points，not bad points in other people．It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be．
You do not have to be spineless（优柔寡断的） in order to be popular．In fact，you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights（正当行为）．But do it politely and pleasantly．Being friendly and polite to your group，to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character．
You cannot expect to be perfect，and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes．Everyone makes mistakes，and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them．Many young people become discouraged （灰心丧气的） when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like-selfishness，laziness，and other unpleasant qualities．Just remember that we all have some of these faults（缺点） and have to fight against them．
At the same time，it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others，the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people．When something is wrong，it is good sense to try to make it right．Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate．Try to see why，and look at yourself，too，to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you．Some day，things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation，without thinking too much about it．Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change．

What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away．But what if that insect is a ladybug（瓢虫）? It is possible that you would let it stay．What is it about ladybugs that we like?
Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign．A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good．The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug，but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops．They eat harmful insects．
Actually，it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects． It's the baby ladybug．When the baby ladybugs hatch（孵化），they are very hungry and will eat mites，aphids，mealy bugs，green flies，and other crop-destroyers． In the 1800s，ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects．They completely saved all the trees．
Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything．Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid（液体）．Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead．They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away．
So the next time you see a ladybug，think about what it may be doing．Maybe it is off to save an orange tree．Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size．Maybe it's letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow．Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way．

C．ladybugs can give off a dangerous fluid to protect themselves
D．the baby ladybug mainly eats mites，aphids，mealy bugs，and oranges
3.The underlined phrase "stand up to" most probably means ____．
A．watch B．support
C．save D．fight
After the Spring Festival，I found some of my mom's daily habits have changed．
Her cooking way was different．Vegetables that had been cooked crisply （脆） became very tender and soft．Fish that had been fried（煎炸的） became soup．Her old shredded（切成细条的） potato turned into diced potato．．．Feeling strange，Dad and I asked Mom the reason for the change．But all she said was，"Just trying a different taste．" Then she was silent．
But it wasn't just her cooking way．____ After dinner，instead of watching films on TV as usual，she would put on her newly-bought sports clothes and asked Dad to go out for a walk．After they came back home，Mom would lose herself in magazines or newspapers about healthcare．Mom almost never gets sick．Why was she suddenly interested in medicine?
I couldn't understand her "abnormal" behavior．Then one day I came across her micro blog（博客）．"While visiting my parents during the Spring Festival，I suddenly realized that they are in their 70s now，" my morn had written．"They move slowly and it is hard for them to do the housework．I should visit them more often．．．"
"Some cooking should be changed to keep them healthy．They like fish soup，diced potato，tender and soft vegetables．．．"
"I must also keep fit by doing physical exercise．If my parents are too weak to move around，I can be strong enough to take care of them．When I am old，my son can also pay less attention to taking care of me．．．"
When I read this，I felt very sorry．I used to complain that Mom didn't understand me and couldn't give me everything I wanted．I always thought there was a wide gap（沟） between us．But now I completely understand her．How great she is! She always thinks of others before herself．Everything she does is to help the people she loves live better lives．How unselfish her love is!

Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? No paper，no books，no test paper．Nor are there any pencils or pens which always seem to run out of ink at the important moment．
A "paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to achieve．Students don't do any handwriting in this class． Instead，they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers．The teacher downloads information from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer．
Having computers also means that students can use the Web．They can look up information on any subject they're studying from math to social science．High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida，US，described how her class used the Web to learn about what's going on in the world．
"We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee（难民） camps，" she said．"Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible " And exams can go online too．At a high school in Tennessee，US，students take tests on their own computers．The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own grade book on the Internet．
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper．High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky，US，said she used to give about900 pieces of paper each week to each student．
"Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers，" she said．But，with all this technology，there's always the risk that the machines will break down．So，paper books are still widely available for these hi-tech students．
1.In a paperless classroom，what is a must?

C．Information． D．Books．
