Line 10 15 20 25

Architecture has social purposes and meets practical needs by means of combining art and technological innovations In building construction, however, an emergence of new materials does not make its precursors obsolete, and architectural knowledge is cumulative The fact that today much is constructed from prefabricated concrete does not away with brick Furthermore, despite dramatic changes and increased technological sophistication of architectural design and construction, the essential apparatus of erecting a building has remained rooted in preindustrial traditional practices passed down during the millennia The social and utilitarian expectations of structures are largely based on elemental demands of keeping out elements and enemies, ameliorating the extremes of heat, and avoiding the intrusion of wind, precipitation, and pests

Gravity, air pressure, and earthquakes can induce tensions that have to be accounted for when constructing functional enclosed space Vertical stacking of masonry materials causes compression that can lead to important problems when a structure is spanned to build a roof and connect walls Arches, vaults, and domes were specifically developed to alleviate the compression by directing the spanning element along a curve rather than a straight line Building suspension structures, dams, and tunnels became possible in the nineteenth century with the increased availability of steel that could reinforce structural frames and enable them to withstand natural forces previously believed to be insurmountable

Functional evolutions of modern buildings create new demands on the analysis of structural behavior and engineering Few occupants of skyscrapers view elevators as elaborate systems of vertical transportation Humidity and temperature control, forced ventilation, natural and artificial lighting, sanitation and disposal of waste, electrical wiring, and fire prevention make very tall constructions engineering marvels that also must be aesthetically pleasing and physically convenient Erecting a structure involves a great deal more than merely attending to the aesthetics and psychological experience of architectural space The shape, size, and incombustibility of locally available construction materials fostered developments of specific technologies, and brick and stone masonry have evolved in response to the need for structural durability Advances in civil engineering and knowledge associated with properties of building materials combine to lead to innovations in architectural design Tools and skills required to exploit easily obtainable materials have continued to inform the development of modern industrialized technologies

Line 10 15 20 25

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 41: According to the passage, we respond to others by A observing their looks B watching their actions

C looking at their faces D observing their emotional expressions

Question 42: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether _ A raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth

B rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar C eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar

D different cultures have similar emotional expressions

Question 43: The word “ evolved” in line is closest in meaning to

A developed B reduced C simplified D increased Question 44: Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of

A investigators on universal emotional expressions

D lacked many main ingredients Question 45: Smiles and frowns

A are not popular everywhere

B are universal expressions across cultures C have different meanings in different cultures D not convey the same emotions in various cultures Question 46: The biggest difference lies in

A how emotional responses are controlled B how intensive emotions are expressed C how long negative emotions are displayed D how often positive emotions are shown

Question 47: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to A display their emotions openly B control their emotions

C conceal their positive emotions D change their behaviour Question 48: Young children

A make amazing progress in controlling their emotions B take time to control their facial expressions

C spend a long time learning to read others’ emotions D are sensitive towards others’ emotions

Question 49: The phrase “ this evidence” in line 22 refers to A a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions B the fact that children can control their feelings

C the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions D human facial expressions

Question 50: The best title for the passage is A Ways to control emotional expressions

B A review of research on emotional expressions C Human habit of displaying emotions

D Cultural universals in emotional expressions
