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, Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 117 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 oneswhile 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 Câu 43: According to the passage, we respond to others by _ A looking at their faces B observing their emotional expressions C observing their looks D watching their actions Câu 44: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether A different cultures have similar emotional expressions B rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar C raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth D eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar Câu 45: The word “ evolved” in line is closest in meaning to A developed B reduced C increased D simplified Câu 46: Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of A investigators on universal emotional expressions B lacked many main ingredients C researchers who can speak and understand many languages D researchers on universal language Câu 47: The biggest difference lies in A how emotional responses are controlled B how long negative emotions are displayed C how intensive emotions are expressed D how often positive emotions are shown Câu 48: 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 Câu 49: The phrase “ this evidence” in line 21 refers to _ A the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions B human facial expressions C the fact that children can control their feelings D a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions Câu 50: The best title for the passage is A Human habit of displaying emotions B Ways to control emotional expressions C Cultural universals in emotional expressions D review of research on emotional expressions (Cán coi thi khơng giải thích thêm) - HẾT - Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 117 Trang 5/5 - Mã đề thi 117 ...
