听力原文: You might not know it, but there is something wonderful at your fingertips. You can make people happier, healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their bands.
Doctors say that body touch is a kind of medicine that can work wonders. When people are touched, the quantity of hemoglobin, a type of matter that produces the red color in blood increases greatly. This results in more oxygen reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits. In experiments, bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of their life. They became sad and inactive. Studies showed the monkeys were more probable to become iii than other babies that were allowed to stay with their mothers.
Human babies react in much the same way. Some years ago, a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery became weak. Yet babies in another nursery were growing healthily, even though they ate less well and were not kept as clean. The reason, he concluded, was that they often had touches from nurses.
Experiments show that most people like being touched. And nearly ail doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients' fear of treatment. Of course there is time when a touch is not welcome. But even if we don't like being touched, a smile can make as feel better. Smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of “happy brain” chemicals.
So let's have a big smile and don't forget to keep "in touch".

C. Your fingertips can do something wonderful.

Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby's life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carded on their mother's back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode (把……编码) or decode (理解) meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the "proper place to focus one's gaze during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of one's conversation partner."
The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re establish eye contact with the listener or reassure themselves that their audience is still at{entire, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there maybe a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.
The author is convinced that the eyes are______.

A. of extreme importance in expressing feelings and exchanging ideas
B. something through which one can see a person's inner world
C. of considerable significance in making conversations interesting
D. something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate

听力原文:M: Bob's writing to invite me to spend a weekend with him at his farm. He's planning a get-together with two or three other college friends. A fifty-year anniversary reunion.
W: Sounds like fun. Fifty Years? Wow!
M: It sounds like fun to me, too.
W: What kind of farm does he have?
M: I've never been there, but he has chickens and cows and all. That means fresh eggs and fresh milk.
W: Does he have a family?
M: No, he doesn't. He never married. He's not as lucky as I am to have a family and grandchildren. I'm a lucky man.
W: How come he never got married?
M: That's a good question. He never married because the girl he was in love with in college married someone else, and he never got over it.
W: He must have loved her very much.
M: Yes, very much. Lillian. She was in our class.
W: And what happened?
M: She was in love with Donald, who captained the football team.
W: Football players are always popular with the ladies.
M: She liked Bob, but her heart was with Donald.
W: Where is she today?
M: I don' t know. Maybe Lillian will be at the reunion.
W: You think so?
M: Bob's full of surprises.
W: I wish I could go there with you. What do you think the surprise will be?
M: With Bob, you never know, Robbin.
W: Won't it be exciting to see all your college friends there again?
M: It is already. I'm kind of excited about going now. Next weekend... deep over Friday and Saturday night and come back Sunday. I can't wait!

W: I have some questions to ask. Do you own your house or do you rent?
M: Neither. I live with my parents, Dr. and Mrs. Philip Blair.
W: And how old are you?
M: I'm twenty-nine.
W: And, Mr. Blair, what is your occupation?
M: I'm a designer, and I work in a boutique.
W: Did you bring any savings or salary information? Last year's tax forms?
M: Yes, here they are.
W: OK. What... what kind of house did you have in mind?
M: We're talking about buying a two-bedroom house in Mount Kisco. Here are the financial details on the house.
W: Thank you. Are you prepared to make a ten-percent down payment?.
M: Yes, sure.
W: Payments over thirty years?
M: Yes. Do you think I can get a loan?
W: Well, it depends. 13o you own any other property? Any stocks or bonds?
M: No.
W: I see. Then you don't have any support. Perhaps you could get a guarantor —someone to sign for the loan for you.
M: Why is that necessary?
W: Since you don't have enough income, and you don't already own any property, the bank needs to be sure you can pay the mortgage every month. A guarantor is responsible for the loan if you can't make the payments.
M: I see. Well, the idea of buying a house is exciting. Thank you, Mrs. Riley. I'll read this over carefully.
W: Thank you.
M: Good-bye. And hope to see you soon.
W: I hope so, too.
