This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how<br /> to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to<br /> convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the<br /> same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions<br /> has centered on such questions.<br /> According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and<br /> understand substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have<br /> demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the<br /> common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and<br /> frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan,<br /> Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and<br /> the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people<br /> everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust,<br /> contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both<br /> the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules. In many Asian<br /> cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative<br /> ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly.<br /> Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s<br /> behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their<br /> feelings.<br /> The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close<br /> attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading<br /> emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our<br /> abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin<br /> pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species<br /> boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry<br /> different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be<br /> conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in<br /> China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on<br /> a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional<br /> expressions.<br /> Question 36: According to the passage, we respond to others by__________.<br /> A. observing their looks<br /> C. watching their actions<br /> B. observing their emotional expressions<br /> D. looking at their faces<br /> Question 37: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question<br /> whether__________.<br /> A. different cultures have similar emotional expressions.<br /> B. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar.<br /> C. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth.<br /> 4<br /> <br /> D. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar.<br /> Question 38: Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of__________.<br /> A. lacked many main ingredients<br /> C. researchers who can speak and understand many languages<br /> B. researchers on universal language<br /> D. investigators on universal emotional expressions<br /> Question 39: The biggest difference lies in __________.<br /> A. how long negative emotions are displayed B. how intensive emotions are<br /> expressed<br /> C. how emotional responses are controlled<br /> D. how often positive emotions are<br /> shown<br /> Question 40: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to __________.<br /> A. control their emotions<br /> C. display their emotions openly<br /> B. conceal their positive emotions<br /> D. change their behavior<br /> Question 41: The phrase “this evidence” in line 24 refers to __________.<br /> A. the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions<br /> B. human facial expressions<br /> C. a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions<br /> D. the fact that children can control their feelings<br /> Question 42: The best title for the passage is __________.<br /> A.

Several new types<br /> of automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power,<br /> such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, propane.<br /> Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available. Although electric<br /> vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or another dependable<br /> source of current is available, transportation expects foresee a new assortment of electric<br /> vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled<br /> neighbourhood cars, electric deliver vans, bikes, and trolleys.<br /> As automakers work to develop practical electric vehicles, urban planners and utility<br /> engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new<br /> cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public<br /> parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that<br /> allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage<br /> the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centres might be<br /> reserved for electric cars.<br /> Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains and neighbourhood vehicles all meeting at<br /> transit centres that would have facilities for charging and renting.
