He became so anxious with sh

19、ame when he again faced the child that he forgot the dragging rope. He tripped(绊倒) upon it and fell forward.The child sat down on the step and the two had another interview. During it the dog greatly exerted himself to please the child. He performed a few playful jumps with such abandon(放任) that the

20、 child suddenly saw him to be a valuable thing. He made a swift, greedy charge(猛冲) and seized the rope.He dragged his captive(俘虏) into a hall and up many long stairways in a dark building. The dog made willing efforts, but he could not walk very skillfully up the stairs because he was very small and

21、 soft, and at last the pace of the child grew so energetic that the dog became panicstricken. In his mind he was being dragged toward somewhere unknown. His eyes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head wildly and to brace his legs.The child redoubled his efforts. They had a batt

22、le on the stairs. The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose, and because the dog was very small. He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home, and finally with victory across the doorway.No family member was in. The child sat down on the floor and made overture

Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is

27、masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.If you cannot read someone elses emotional state, your ability to empathize(共鸣) with them may be compromised. Likewise, if your own mask is hiding your emotional state, others may not be able to empathize with you. Wearing a mask can also mak

28、e you feel more distracted and selfconscious, further weakening your connection to others.Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have leftthe eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes, which ma

29、y be easier said than done. Eye contact generates selfconsciousness, consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds.

30、e body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they stand up straighter; when they are sad, they drop their head; and when they are angry, their whole body tenses up.

The giant trunklike pillars(柱子) and the gentle play of the light cast through a churchs stained glass windows create a shaded garden of stone and multicolored light.Glass itself is one of the fruits of

37、the art of fire. It is a fusion(熔接) of the Earths rocks melted at high temperatures. Glasss liquidlike structure is one of the main reasons it is transparent(透明 的)However, “transparent” does not necessarily mean that all light can pass through it. Some obsidian(黑曜石) glasses are so darkly colored tha

38、t they are effectively black and opaque(不透光的). This is because electrons of some elements in the obsidian are arranged in such a way that their_energy is the same as the energy of visible light.This ability of certain elements to absorb light and give color is used to great effect in stained glass w

39、indows. For example, adding cobalt oxide(氧化钴) to the glass during melting will make it blue because cobalt absorbs wavelengths at the red end of the spectrum(光谱) but does not absorb blue. These colors were discovered by the ancients through trial and error, adding different minerals to the melting p

40、ot and melting for different periods of time, even though they had no idea what caused them.The term “stained glass” telescopes(精简) three different processes: coloring, staining and painting, each one complex and requiring the application of many skills. In the mid16th century, however, different co
