People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scan evenly(均勻的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
"We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth."
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggests that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
小題1:What were the people asked to do in the study?
A．To make a face at each other.
B．To get their faces impressive.
C．To classify (分類) some face pictures.
D．To observe the researchers' faces
小題2:What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A．The participants in the study.B．The researchers of the study.
C．The errors made during the study.D．The data collected from the study.
小題3:In comparison(比較) with Westerners, Easterners are likely to         .
A．do translation more successfully
B．study the mouth more frequently
C．examine the eyes more attentively
D．read facial expressions more correctly
小題4:What can be the best title for the passage?
A．The Eye as the Window to the Soul
B．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
D．How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding

American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War II, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increased. Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts（轉(zhuǎn)移）to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents（居民）became wealthier. They had more children so they needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs（郊區(qū)）。
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s , many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying . Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: many dying cities are alive again.
小題1:What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A．They are alive.B．They are hopeless.
C．They are similar.D．They are different.
小題2:Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War II?
A．Because older American cities were dying.
B．Because they were richer and needed more space.
C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
小題3:According to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities      .
A．a(chǎn)re faced with housing problems.B．a(chǎn)re forced to move to the suburbs.
C．want to sell their buildings.D．need more money for daily expenses.
小題4:We can conclude from the text that       .
A．American cities are changing for the worse.
B．people have different views on American cities.
C．many people are now moving from American cities.
D．the population is decreasing in older American cities.

Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter (糞) from animals also falls on it.
All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crop (莊稼) should not be grown in the same place every year; it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.
小題1:What would happen first without plants?
A．People would have more crops.B．Animals would die.
C．There would be more food.D．There would be less soil.
小題2:What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph (段落)?
A．Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other.
B．There would be no animals without meat.
C．There would be no plants without animals.
D．People, animals, plants and soil live on each other.
小題3:Which is the best food for soil in the field?
A．Chemical fertilizersB．Plants and grass.C．Animals’ waste.D．Different crops.
小題4:Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?
A．Because we can keep the soil rich this way.
B．Because we don’t have enough land.
C．Because we want to have a different food.
D．Because we do this as a habit.
小題5:What is the best title for the passage?

When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (稱謂) as Mrs. Sohm.
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word “de”, which means “of”. This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (顛倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.
小題1:The story of Bill Clinton is used to _____ .
A．improve US Korean relations
B．introduce the topic of the text
C．describe his visit to Korea
D．tell us how to address a person
小題2:The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．a(chǎn)ction plansB．naming customsC．travel mapsD．thinking patterns
小題3:When a woman marries in Korea, she _____.
A．continues to use her family name
B．uses her husband’s given name
C．shares her husband’s family name
D．a(chǎn)dds her husband’s given name to hers
小題4:To address a married woman properly, you’d better ______ .
A．use her middle name B．use her husband’s first name
C．a(chǎn)sk her which name she likesD．change the order of her names
小題5:What can NOT be inferred from the text? ______ .
A．Wives do not keep their family names in Japan.
B．Different countries have different naming customs in some way.
C．Naming custom will not cause any puzzle among Asian countries.
D．The naming custom in Korea is different from that of Japan.

Yes,but speaking isn’t everything.Some experts say that only thirty percent of communication comes from talking.Your gestures and other non-verbal(非語言的)actions matter,too.But in different cultures,the same action can have different meanings.

The Nadam Festival, usually held from June 4 to 9(lunar calendar), is one of the most exciting and colorful festivals in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region. At the center of the festivities are the fierce horse racing, archery(射箭) and wrestling competitions, the traditional sports of the Mongolian warriors (the three “manly” sports, though young girls and women participate in the horse racing and archery contests).
In Mongolian, the word “Nadam” means “amusement and entertainment” and the festival began in 1225 AD, when Genghis Khan organized an expedition to the west and got control of Khwarezm.

The Mongolians used this exciting gathering as a big occasion to compete in the horse racing, Mongolian wrestling and archery, which were regarded as the three basic skills of men.
Gradually more and more events were added to the festival, such as marksmanship(射擊), chess, reciting epics, polo(馬球), film, drama, singing, dancing, track and field competitions and so on.
There are three kinds of Nadam, the big one, the medium one and the small one. The big Nadam requires the participation of 512 wrestlers and 300 horses and usually lasts 7-10 days while the medium Nadam will have the participation of 256 wrestlers and 100-150 horses, lasting 5-7 days. And 64 or 128 wrestlers and 30 or 50 horses will take part in the small Nadam, which lasts 3-5 days. Anyone can apply to compete in Nadam, regardless of his or her ethnic origin and religious belief.
Nadam has become a popular artistic and sports event participated in by people of all ages. Boys and girls can also take the opportunity to show their love, i. e. the so-called “meeting at aobao”.
In addition to sports competition, people also make good use of this gathering to hold talks and establish relations in economic trade or to interchange goods.
