The weather is generally dry, but central and northern Italy can be humid and afternoon thunderstorms(雷雨) are usual. To run away from the hot weather, visitors can go to the beaches or mountains—be sure to check Italy Travel Weather before you begin packing for your trip.
①What is eye contact? Eye contact happens when two people look at each other's eyes at the same time. Eye contact is a kind of nonverbal communication(非语言交流) and it has different meanings in different cultures.
②Eye Contact in Western Europe: In many European countries such as Spain, France and Germany, it is right and polite to keep eye contact with another person. However, Europeans often avoid eye contact when they are walking across a busy street or riding bikes to their workplaces. Yet in a country like France, a man may feel quite free to look at others. This may happen when he is interested in them.
③Eye Contact in the Middle East:Middle Eastern countries have their rules for the eye culture. For example, some of them have strict rules for eye contact between the sexes(性别). Only a short moment of eye contact is OK between a man and a woman.
④As you can see, it is very important to know what eye contact means before you visit a new country. Learn how to use eye contact so that you can better communicate with other people.
An artist painted many pictures of great beauty. But he found that he didn't paint a "real" picture.
In his search along a road, he met an old man. He asked him for help, "I want to paint the most beautiful thing in the world. But I don't have any ideas. Maybe you can help me to make it."
" ▲ " answered the old man. "Hope is the most beautiful thing in the world."
The artist went on looking for the thing. He met a young girl. She told him, "Love makes the world go around. Without love, there is no beauty or hope. The most beautiful thing in the world is love."
Then the artist travelled on and he met a soldier. The soldier said, "Peace(和平) is the most beautiful thing in the world. War(战争) is ugly. When people stop the war, there will be hope and love."
"How can I paint them—Hope, Love and Peace?" thought the artist. He walked and walked, and was surprised to see he was in front of his house.
When he went in, he found his search was over. In the faces of his wife and children, he saw love and hope. "Our children and I always think of you. We hope you would come back safely," his wife said as they hugged him. He sat on his favourite old chair and his heart was at peace. At that moment, he knew how to paint the "real" picture.
