In the United States the most popular form of folk dancing has been square—dancing since the earlier days．In those days，men and women worked in groups to build a house or harvest crops．When the work was done，they usually danced merrily and happily in a store or in a farm kitchen．
Nowadays square-dancing is still performed．A square，which has four sides，is formed by four couples．Each couple stands on one side of the square，the man on the left and the woman on the right．That is to say, one square has eight people and they stand facing the center of the square．
Large or small numbers of people can dance together．Sometimes as many as 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing all at the same time．
Costumes are worn by those who do the square—dancing．This makes the dancing more colorful to watch．Men may have colored shirts and western trousers they wear only on special days．Women often wear full skirts of different colors with a pretty blouse．In some country areas，everyone wears their best clothes．
Today in all parts of the US you will find some schools，clubs，or other groups that are square-dancing for fun．They enjoy it very much．

Sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2012. On Christmas Eve, 2002, Anthony had a heart transplant(移植)from a 21-year-old donor(捐贈(zèng)者). Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2012, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
“I’m 15 minutes older than him. But now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him, ”Alfred said with a smile, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics(遺傳學(xué))might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their bad eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly. ”
The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication(藥物治療)but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery.
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. “But”, he added, “I love my brother very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine. ”

閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題（請(qǐng)注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求。）
Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly with our eyes, sop it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such a kind of experience? In a bus you may loom at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you may look at yourself up and down, to see if there is         ..If nothing goes wrong, you will fell angry towards others' stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10seconds and refuses to avert his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is ,he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at  the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is saying, to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel disconcerted. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the honest communication, quite the contrary.
In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words can't express.
Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
