　　they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a __1__
　　fact. During the first two months of a babys life, the stimuli that __2__
　　produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not to be real: a __3__
　　mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human

　　only one eye when the face is presented on profile. This attraction to __5__
　　eyes opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. __6__
　　In one study, when American four-year-old were asked to draw __7__
　　people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, and 99 percent __8__
　　of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, furthermore, where babies __9__
　　are carried on their mothers back, infants do not acquire as much
　　attachment to eyes like they do in other cultures. As a result, __10__
　　Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode or decode
　　meaning.

　　答案及解析:
　　1.they-that
　　分句后的分句应有它独立的主谓结构，正像它前面的结构一样。而后半句的谓语是is，表语是fact，主语似乎是缺失的，因此在they前面加上that就构成了主语从句作为这半句的主语。

　　2.stimuli-stimulus
　　stimuli看似单数实则是stimulus的复数形式，因此应改为stimulus。

　　3.to-/
　　这里的need作情态动词，因此删去to。

　　4.or-nor
　　并列的否定，用否定形式nor表示倒装。

　　5.on-in
　　in profile表示 “侧面，从侧面”。如：The painting shows her in profile。

　　6.^opposed-as
　　opposed前应使用连词as引导比较分句。

　　7.old-olds
　　由谓语的复数形式可以看出这里需要用复数形式four-year-olds。

　　8.and-but

　　9.furthermore-however
　　上一句话指明美国文化中眼睛的重要性，而这一句话似乎指出日本文化中眼睛并不具有同样的重要性，因此两句话的关系是转折而不是递进。

　　10.like-as
　　句子中有一个as……as比较结构
