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 According to the passage, we respond to others by _ A observing their looks C watching their actions B observing their emotional expressions D looking at their faces Question 22 Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether _ A different cultures have similar emotional expressions B eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar C raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth D rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar Question 23 The word “evolved” in line is closest in meaning to _ A reduced B increased C simplified D developed (3) Question 24 Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of _ A lacked many main ingredients C researchers who can speak and understand many languages B researchers on universal language D investigators on universal emotional expressions Question 25 Smiles and frowns _ A are universal expressions across cultures C are not popular everywhere B not convey the same emotions in various cultures D have different meanings in different cultures Question 26 The biggest difference lies in _ A how long negative emotions are displayed B how intensive emotions are expressed C how emotional responses are controlled D how often positive emotions are shown Question 27 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 28 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 29 The phrase “this evidence” in line 24 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 30 The best title for the passage is _ A Cultural universals in emotional expressions B Ways to control emotional expressions C A review of research on emotional expressions D Human habit of displaying emotions Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision to (31) _ about their children’s career Should they (32) _ their children to train to become top sportsmen and women? For many children it (33) _ starting very young and school work, going out with friends and other (34) _ have to take second place It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when (35) _ of his or her friends are playing Another problem is of course money In many countries money for training is (36) _ from the government for the very best young sportsmen and women If this help cannot be given it means that it is the parents (37) _ have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development- and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment etc can all be very expensive Many parents are understandably (38) _ that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age Some doctors agree that young (39) _ may be damaged by training before they are properly developed Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person What is clear is that very (40) _ people reach the top and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training Question 31 A Question 32 A allow B plan B let C make C leave D prepare D offer (4) Question 33 Question 34 Question 35 Question 36 Question 37 Question 38 Question 39 Question 40 A should B means C helps D tries A wishes B dreams C satisfactions D interests A almost B mostly C most D plenty A enough B available C possible D enormous A that B whom C they D which A distributedB concerned C cared D worried A bloods B capacities C muscles D physics A little B few C a few D many Read the following passage carefully, then mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions To a European, money means power, the freedom to as he likes, which also means that, consciously or unconsciously, he says: “I want to have as much money as possible myself and others to have as little money as possible.” In the United States, wealth was also acquired by stealing, but the real exploited victim was not a human being but poor Mother Earth and her creatures who were ruthlessly plundered It is true that the Indians were expropriated or exterminated, but this was not, as it has always been in Europe, a matter of the conqueror seizing the wealth of the conquered, for the Indian had never realized the potential riches of his country It is also true that, in the Southern states, men lived on the labor of slaves, but slave labor did not make them fortunes; what made slavery in the South all the more inexcusable was that, in addition to being morally wicked, it didn’t even pay off handsomely Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money than his father, so that, if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient What an American values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away In no society in history have rich men given away so large a part of their fortunes A poor American feels guilty at being poor, but less guilty than an American renter who had inherited wealth but is doing nothing to increase it; what can the latter but take to drink and psychoanalysis?
