UNIT 8

THE EYES (2)

RE READING

Sometimes you will hear or see things that you find unbelievable or ridiculous. Something or someone might annoy or bother you. You can show the way you feel by holding your head still while looking up and to the side. When you roll your eyes, you show that you don't accept something or that you accept something only because you can't change it.

Lowering your eyes shows that you are sorry or ashamed. By looking down, you are admitting that you did something wrong. When people hang their heads, they also lower their eyes.

The eyebrow is the line of hair above the eye. When you raise an eyebrow, you are showing surprise. Probably something happened that you didn't expect and don't approve of. For example, if you come late to class, the teacher might raise an eyebrow at you.

When you are very surprised or excited, you might open your eyes as widely as you can. We say that you were so surprised that it made your eyes pop out. Suppose, for example, that you are sitting in class and a rock star walks in. Would this make your eyes pop out?

We expect people to show their feelings when they are shocked or surprised. Sometimes, however, people show no reaction at all. When this happens, we say that they don't even bat an eye. (In this expression, to bat means "to blink" or "to close and open.") Suppose that you were expecting to receive a bill for ten dollars, but when the bill came, it was for one thousand dollars. If you showed no surprise or anger, we'd say you didn't bat an eye.
