    It is often said that eyes can speak. In a bus you may look at a stranger,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} not too long. If he notices that he is being stared at, he may feel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (comfort). It is the same in daily life. When you are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look) at for several more times, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you. If nothing goes wrong, you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (feel) angry with the person who is looking at you. Eyes can speak, right?

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different when it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (come) to staring at the opposite sex, if a man glances at a woman for more than ten seconds, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (she ) attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.

    In fact, continuous eye contact is limited to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (love) only, who will enjoy looking at each other {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (gentle ) for a long time，to show affection that words cannot express. Evidently, eye communication should be done according to the relationship between the two people.

    Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to attract the attention of the world. Kung fu, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (especial), has had a great effect {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the millions of people who first learned about China through it. Sometimes, they may come to China and learn about some other {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (aspect) of this culture. Other Asian nations have long known about the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (great) of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics. Korea and Japan long ago adopted Confucianism, something that continues today even as it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (challenge) by pop culture. This strength comes from the ideas {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (give) in the Four Books of Confucianism, which were built upon the idea of an even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (much) ancient period included in the Five Classics. From them, the West learns {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is uniquely Chinese, for example, feng shui.

    So far China has taken steps {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (increase) this spread of its culture byestablishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.

    Before the day {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the graduation ceremony was held, I took the graduation gifts into {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(consider). Early in the morning, I went to the department store {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(select) a gift for my teachers and classmates. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (choose) carefully, I decided to buy some fancy cards for them. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} modern means of communication were so popular that I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feel) so sorry for the separation, I put {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my sorrow and gratitude in every card. In my view, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is better than a card to express my current feeling. During the ceremony, we share our gifts and express our deep love. Separation is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} great sorrow to everyone. In the end, my classmates and I sang the song titled "Auld Lang Syne", which is{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(suitable) song to say goodbye.

    I believe doing good deeds can bring me happiness. I've been making breastpins (胸针) and gifting them to everyone possible and if you ask me why I do it, it's because {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the joy which just bursts forth from my inner heart. The smile that lights up at the sight of the breastpin is worth anything you'd wish for and it goes much {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (far). From that moment on, there's a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (connect) between gifting breastpins and happiness.

    We exchange warm hugs, smiles and a million “thank you”. This hobby that has so at- traded me has opened my heart and brought me out of my cocoon (茧). Now, I don't mind {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (start) a conversation with a stranger, wishing him or her well and gifting a breastpin because I know that this little piece of art will do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (it) magic of breaking all barriers. We unite and share many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (story). And next time our paths cross, we greet {#blank#}7{#/blank#} smile, which is enough {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (brighten) the day.

    This morning, I received {#blank#}9{#/blank#} heart-warming post on Instagram (照片墙) from a friend who I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (give) a blue and white spotted breastpin before. She shared it along with the shells collected from the beach. She loved sea shells and the colors blue and white. So, here's why I make breastpins.
