Face-to-face communication involves much more than the spoken word．In fact, we often communicate our feelings to others through our body language without realizing we are doing so．We communicate through posture, gesture and facial expression．But the eyes also play an important part in this unspoken language．William Shakespeare called the eyes "a window to the soul," and you can learn to look through that window and better understand a person's body language by reading eye movement．
Begin a conversation and ask a simple question．Watch carefully for eye movement during the response．If the person looks up, he or she is thinking or forming pictures．This is also a sign of a visual thinker．Looking up and to the left shows recalling a memory, while looking up and to the right could show imaginative construction or lying．
If the person looks down, this could be a sign of obedience（服从） or even blame．Looking down and to the left can show a person talking to themselves．Looking down and to the right can show that they are feeling strong emotion．
Looking sideways can indicate distraction or checking out a potential（潜在的） threat, hut a sideways glance can also show anger．In addition, eyes that look side to side often show shiftiness（狡诈） and lying．
A glance usually indicates a desire for something．Glancing at a door could show a desire to leave the room, while a glance, at a person could indicate a desire to talk to them．A glance is also used when it is forbidden to look at something．
A person who is lying to you may hold eye contact longer than normal．In addition, this person might smile with his mouth but not with his eyes．Smiling with the eyes is difficult to do if the emotion is not genuine．
Rapid blinking（眨）of the eyes can occur when a person is thinking, and this can also be another sign of lying．Again, a person who is aware of this sign might overcompensate（矫枉过正） and stare．

When it comes to eating out, we can't help thinking of big meals in the restaurants, which usually contain much more fat and less fibers. Whether it is a business meeting over lunch or a fast food meal with the kids, eating out is a part of our lives. We eat out to save a lot of time, like grabbing a bite at fast food restaurants, or we take dining out as a favorite way to relax and socialize with friends.
Eating out can be fun but many people still like eating at home more because it is healthier. When my dear wife does not prepare foods for me, I would rather cook some instant noodles and eat at home! However, we go out to eat once in a while for holidays or on special occasions.
More and more people want to make healthy food choices nowadays. Some are watching calories, while others want to keep their cholesterol(胆固醇)under control or eat less fat. Plan ahead and choose wisely, you will find foods that fit into your meal plan and make eating out both healthy and enjoyable．
Here are some pointers（忠告） to remember that can help you make wise choices when eating out: go for balance, watch portion sizes and drink water or low-fat milk．Keep the ground rules of good nutrition in mind．Eat a variety of foods in moderate（适中的）amounts, limit the amount of fat you eat, and watch the amount of salt in food．If you develop the skills to make healthy choices now, your body will thank you later．
Eating out can be one of life's great pleasures．Make the right choices, ask for what you need, and balance your meals out with healthy meals at home．You can enjoy yourself and take good care of yourself at the same time．

Steve Jobs-A surprising success.
Nothing in the early years of Steve Job’s life suggested that he would be so successful. Born in San Francisco, the child of two students, he was adopted and grew up close to Silicon Valley. While at company-and he and his best friend Steve Wozniak got summer jobs there.
After finishing high school in 1972, Jobs studied at an expensive liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon but he dropped pout after one after one term. He grew his hair and a beard, slept on friends’ floors, and sometimes went to a Hare Krishna temple for free meals. Like many drop-outs at that Beatles-inspired time, his ambition was to visit a guru（古鲁[印度教的宗师或领袖]）in India, which he eventually did with a friend. When they got there, the guru had died.
At this point, Jobs has a limited education, and no obvious talents, apart from a notorious（臭名远扬）ability to talk. However, he did have a devoted friend who was an electronics genius. They were a great team. Without Jobs’ s ambition, high design standards, the ability to make deals and great maketing skills-Wozniak might well have spent a quiet life designing hardware at HP.

One day, Mom was sewing a quilt（被子）．I 38 sat down beside her．“Mom, I have a 39 here,” I said after a while．“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very 40 voice．
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with 41 in her eyes．She didn’t answer immediately．She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt．I was 42 if I had hurt her．I was in great embarrassment and I was at a loss what to do．But at last she said, very 43 , “Susan, look at this 44 ．Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting．If 45 is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there． 46 is inside．”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later．
One day, Dad accidentally got 47 while on duty．Ever since then he could no longer 48

“Dad, how are you feeling now?”” I asked him one day． “Susan, don’t worry shout me,” he said gently． “I just like walking with your mom．I like this kind of life．” Looking into his eyes, I 51 what they meant．
The doctor had said Dad would 52 in two months．But that day never came．He 53 away in peace．
54 I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses．But from this 55 , I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life, which makes life strong and warm…
