25、ology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀地) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners 43 their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “We
26、sterners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and 44 the mouth.”According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human 45 of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universa
27、lly recognizable cannot be used to 46 convey emotion in a cross-cultural situation.The researchers studied cultural differences in the 47 of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western people and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of 48 faces and put them into cate
28、gories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral (中立的). They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made 49 more errors than did
29、 Westerners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data sho
30、w that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, 50 how cultural factors have differed in these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find
31、 themselves lost in translation. Reading Comprehension (35%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Do you think that a universal language will emerge with
32、in the next century? English is 51 the lingua franca in many parts of the world, and is the best language currently to know 52 business and science, 53 I dont think English will 54 become a universal language. I think that if a language becomes the world language, it should be an artificial one. 55
33、, it might seem to many as an effort to 56 a certain cultural group. The 57 with a universal language is how to 58 it, and how to get the governments of the world to agree 59 its implementation.If this were to happen, the international language would be the 60 second language of all countries, and l
34、egally it would still play second fiddle to the current language of that country. It could allow different tribes in Africa to communicate, or 61 communication between small villages in India that each speaks different languages. Not to 62 it would mean that one would only have to learn two language
