There are many muscles in your face that allow you to form many

different expressions.  By moving or tensing the muscles of your

jaw, your lips, your eyes, your forehead and other parts of your

face,  you can look happy, sad, excited, curious, angry, bored,

afraid, loving or worried.

Usually our faces form these expressions  on their own, based on

the feelings we have at the moment.  Actors, politicians and some

criminals learn to form various expressions with their faces that are

not related to their emotions.  That makes it difficult for others to

know for sure what they are really thinking or feeling.

Some people claim to know what a person is thinking or feeling by

the look in his eyes, but the eyes do not change. What people really

notice is the tiny changes in the rest of the face that surround the eyes.

 Your eyes have many different parts.  Your eyelids are the skin coverings that slide down over your eyeballs when you blink.  Eyelashes are

short, curved hairs that grow from the bottom edge of your eyelids. 

Eyebrows are the short, curved hairs that grow above your eyelids

The colored part of your eyeballs is called the cornea. Corneas can

be blue, green, brown, yellow, or a combination of colors.  The pupil

is a black dot in the center of your cornea. The pupil grows larger

when the light is dim and smaller when the light is bright.

A person with no hair on his head is said to be bald If there is hair on some parts of the head but not on others, that person is partially bald

The glass or plastic lenses set in metal or plastic frames and supported by the nose and ears are called glasses, eyeglasses or spectacles Lenses that are placed directly on the eyeball are called contacts or

contact lenses.

contacts或contact lenses: 隐形眼镜

cornea角膜, pupil瞳孔,还有小学生之意

Below your neck is the part of your body called the torso.  Sometimes it is just called 'your body'.  The upper front part of your torso is called the chest.  The chest is like a skin and muscle-covered cage.  The cage is made of curved bones called ribs.  Inside this cage are your lungs and your heart.  Below the chest is the area called the abdomen.  Sometimes this area is also called your stomach or belly.  Inside the abdomen, or in the abdominal cavity, are located the actual stomach organ, the liver, the spleen, the large and small intestines, and the bladder.   Women also have their uterus and ovaries in the abdominal cavity.
