When two hands meet, we pass on something of ourselves. After【26】______ to Mark Twain, Hel

When two hands meet, we pass on something of ourselves. After 【26】______ to Mark Twain, Helen—who was both deaf and blind—commented, "I can feel the twinkle of his eye 【27】______ his handshake." In some indefinable way, Twain had 【28】______ his charm to Keller.

And that's probably been true of the handshake all the 【29】______ back to its earliest days, — 【30】______ no one can tell its actual 【31】______ . A common explanation is that 【32】______ early man encountered a stranger, he 【33】______ out his hand to show he had no weapon. From this, supposedly, 【34】______ the handshake.

Not so, says historian Brian Burke. He believes, the handshake 【35】______ "putting your blood behind your breath." He explains that ancient people 【36】______ the spoken word alone, and they used the handclasp to signify that their 【37】______ was backed up by the 【38】______ of their heart—i, e. , their blood. 【39】______ , the handshake suggested trust.

That 【40】______ of trust has survived to this day. People in business often 【41】______ agreements simply by declaring, "Let's shake 【42】______ it."

Perhaps the most 【43】______ handshake took place on July 17, 1975, during the Apollo-Soyuz get-together in space. After the two crafts came together, American astronaut Thomas Stafford 【44】______ the extended hand of Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov. The 【45】______ to the world was one of friendship and peace.

听力原文： Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement？ Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted？ To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone, so you cut off eye contact. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself. If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person？ Much depends on the person and the situation.

(33)

A．Every glance has its significance.

B．A glance conveys more meaning than words.

C．A gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable.

D．Staring at a person is an expression of interest.
