Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial language” Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions : sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so-called display responses – expecially negative ones – while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behavior From their first days in life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Chales Dawin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross-cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in diferrent cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed while sticking out your tounge ? For American, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions Question 44 The word “evolved” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A Reduced B increased C simplified D developed Question 45 Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of GIỎI NHƯ NGƯỜI BẢN NGỮ A Lacked many main ingredients B Reseachers on universal language C Researchers who can speak and understand many languages D Investigators on unviversal emotional expressions Question 46 The biggest difference lies in A How long negative emotions are displayed C how emotional responses are controlled B How intensive emotions are expressed D how often positive emotions are shown Question 47 Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to A Control their emotions C display their emotions openly B Conceal their positive emotions D change their behavior Question 48 Young children _ A Spend a long time learning to read others’ emotions B Are sensitive towards others’ emotions C Make amazing progress in controlling their emotions D Take time to control their facial expressions Question 49 The phrase “this evidence” in paragraph refers to _ A The fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions B Human facial expressions C A biological underpinning for humans to express emotions D The fact that children can control their feelings Question 50 The best title for the passage is _ A Cultural universals in emotional expressions C A review of research on emotional expressions B Ways to control emotional expressions D Human habit of displaying emotions ... word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 35 The latest addiction to trap thousands of people is the Internet, which has been (31) for broken relationships, job losses,... biologically induced hunger for carbohydrates Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates... speak and understand substantially the same “facial language” Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological
