B

The eyes are one of the most expressive of body language．Keith，seventeen，from Montclair， New Jersey，learned the hard way about one    21  the eyes can make．“I had a teacher who   22  heavily on classroom discussion，”Keith says．“He seemed to have a strong    23   to know just when I didn’t have the answer．I couldn’t   24   how he could be so   25   .Then it dawned on(逐渐被人明白)me．  26   I didn’t know the answer，I would   27   looking at him．When I did know what to say，I always stared straight back   28   him. From that moment on，I   29   myself to look him in the eye，30   I knew the answer or not．That trick has   31 me a lot of trouble．”

Many people，  32   some policemen，believe eye contact is a good   33   of testing honesty．If someone can’t look at you directly in the eye，then he or she is not playing    34    ，they insist. After many experiments，  35   ，a number of experiments have found out that good liars can make false eye contact．    

Eye contact，though not a sure   36  of dishonesty,is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so，you know his attention is  37  on you．When he turns his head away， his mind is probably  38  ．But there is   39  ．A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact， no matter how interested he is in the other person．And certain nationalities，such as the British and Germans，are much   40   oriented(适应)to eyeball-to-eyeball contact than，say，the French and the Arabs．

A

Starting in 1972，the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn．It was acknowledged that some forest fires，such as those which were caused by lighthing were necessary for forests to maintain(保持)balanced ecosystems，so the fire should be allowed to burn．However， a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially（最初）allowed to burn yet soon out of contro1．As a result，the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone，which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park．Massive areas of plants were destroyed，and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors．The rivers and streams were choked with ash，and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair．

In addition，great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control. The fires were driven by high winds，moving as many as ten miles a day．Many small animals died in the flames．The fires’rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape．Even today，few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park. In the years immediately following the fires，the numbers of visitors declined rapidly．No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation．Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser(喷泉)Old Faithful．But now its reputation as America's wonder is damaged permanently．
