difference they made. even at a subconscious(潛意識(shí)的) level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be because eyes send a strong biological signal we have evolved(進(jìn)化) to respond

mass. , a former mill town that has struggled economically for decades. students at kuss have struggled, too, usually falling short of making the academic progress required under the no child left
