I was packed and ready to leave for my two days’ trip. My mind had been filled with work and with so many small things to deal with. As I got into the car to leave, my thoughts turned to my children. I’d been preparing for the trip for the last few days, and now I’d be away for a few days.
How to keep in touch with your kids during busy time is often a father’s problem. Men tend to focus on one thing extremely well for long periods, but this can lead to trouble. Shifting(移开) from work to your family life isn't always the easiest thing to do. And if you don’t show your kids that you’re thinking about them, they may think that you are not.
As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped the car and turned around. I drove back to my house, found a couple of cards, and wrote a short message to each of my children. I put each in a “secret” place where I knew they’d find it.
When I called the next night, it was clear that they’d received the cards. “Daddy, I got your card,” they both said excitedly. “When did you do that?”
My heart was warmed when I heard this. It was such a small thing. But it had a big impact(影响) on my kids. It was their “proof” that I was thinking about them. And it was encouragement for me to continue to do the small things that have a big impact.
【小题1】 From the passage we can infer that the author thinks a father should ______.

A．their father had thought highly of them

B．they had found the cards from their father

C．they had done something good at home

D．their father told them he would be back soon

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.

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.
