Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides information concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the new people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercisegreat care in the wording of questions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicitthe type of information desired Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probefor a subject's underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions
(5)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 rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially 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 of 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 Charles Darwin 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 different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, 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 55. Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _ A. display their emotions openly B. conceal their positive emotions C. control their emotions D. change their behaviour
Question 56. The word "evolved" is closest in meaning to _
A. increased B. reduced C. developed D. simplified Question 57. The phrase "this evidence" refers to
A. human facial expressions
B. the fact that children can control their feelings
C. a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions D. the fact that children are good at recognizing others' emotions Question 58. Young children _
A. make amazing progress in controlling their emotions B. take time to control their facial expressions
C. are sensitive towards others' emotions
D. spend a long time learning to read others' emotions
Question 59. According to the passage, we respond to others by _ A. watching their actions B. observing their looks C. observing their emotional expressions D. looking at their faces Question 60. The biggest difference lies in
A. how often positive emotions are shown B. how emotional responses are controlled C. how intensive emotions are expressed D. how long negative emotions are displayed Question 61. Smiles and frowns
A. are universal expressions across cultures B. are not popular everywhere
C. not convey the same emotions in various cultures D. have different meanings in different cultures
Question 62. Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of A. investigators on universal emotional expressions
B. researchers on universal language

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? 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 rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially 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 of 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 Charles Darwin 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 different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, 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

A. how intensive emotions are expressed B. how long negative emotions are displayed C. how often positive emotions are shown D. how emotional responses are controlled Question 26. Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _

North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the new people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercisegreat care in the wording of questions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicitthe type of information desired Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probefor a subject's underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent

A. poll B. interview C. survey D. sampling Question 46. The word "precise" is closest in meaning to
A. accurate B. planned C. rational D. required Question 47. The word "indispensable" is closest in meaning to

A. questionnaires are often difficult to read
B. respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions C. respondents often not complete and return questionnaires
D. questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute
Question 49. According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live interviews _
A. are easier to interpret B. costless
C. minimize the influence of the researcher D. can produce more information Question 50. The word "they" refers to
A. news shows B. interviews C. North Americans D. opinions Question 51. What does the passage mainly discuss?

B. Carefully worded questions
C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings D. A high number of respondents

(27)Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? 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 rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially 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 of 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 Charles Darwin 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 different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, 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 21. The biggest difference lies in
A. how emotional responses are controlled B. how long negative emotions are displayed C. how often positive emotions are shown D. how intensive emotions are expressed Question 22. Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of
A. researchers on universal language B. lacked many main ingredients

Question 23. Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _ A. change their behaviour B. conceal their positive emotions C. display their emotions openly D. control their emotions

A. the fact that children are good at recognizing others' emotions B. a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions C. the fact that children can control their feelings
D. human facial expressions Question 26. Young children _
(28)B. are sensitive towards others' emotions
C. spend a long time learning to read others' emotions D. take time to control their facial expressions
Question 27. The best title for the passage is
A. Human habit of displaying emotions B. cultural universals in emotional expressions C. review of research on emotional expressions D. ways to control emotional expressions Question 28. Smiles and frowns
A. not convey the same emotions in various cultures B. are not popular everywhere
C. have different meanings in different cultures D. are universal expressions across cultures

D. different cultures have similar emotional expressions

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides information concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the new people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercisegreat care in the wording of questions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicitthe type of information desired Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately

(39)North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the new people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercisegreat care in the wording of questions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicitthe type of information desired Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probefor a subject's underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? 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 rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially 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 of 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 Charles Darwin 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 different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, 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

B. researchers on universal language C. lacked many main ingredients
D. researchers who can speak and understand many languages Question 7. The biggest difference lies in
A. how long negative emotions are displayed B. how often positive emotions are shown C. how emotional responses are controlled D. how intensive emotions are expressed Question 8. Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer whether
A. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar B. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar
